Heart Failure - Ischemic
The updated guidelines for managing chronic coronary symptoms (CCS) provide a framework for diagnosing and treating suspected and confirmed cases of CCS. They emphasize using a risk factor-weighted model to better estimate the likelihood of...
An experiment that may find some translational value in the drive to elucidate inflammation as a target for controlling cardiovascular disease. Columbia University has on this occasion focused on elucidating...
This article presents a succinct but comprehensive expert viewpoint on support in cardiogenic shock using the manuscript of the DanGer trial on promising results of Impella in a highly selected...
In a research letter on a small pilot genomic study of sampling coronary atheroma, the authors offer a brief explanation on how their technique can be applied to detect stability...
This five-year follow-up of a large randomized controlled clinical trial on outcomes after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of severe mitral regurgitation, as compared with outcomes after maximal doses of guideline-directed medical...
This study compared vein bypass with best endovascular treatment for chronic limb-threatening ischemia. The twice-quoted phrase of the RCT manuscript: “Participants were excluded if they had ischemic pain or tissue...
A fifty-three-year-old man was transferred for emergent surgical repair of a left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR). An expedited preoperative workup including an electrocardiogram and echocardiography revealed an old inferior...
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs in less than 1 percent of patients suffering from myocardial infarction (1), but anterior or apical VSD provides more than 60 percent of all...
This scientific statement is a granular contribution to a major cardiovascular issue, illuminating nuances of the “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) FDA designation. One would expect the relevant Thoracic Associations...
Interesting manuscript on the immunology of coronary atheroma, with tanslational potential in therapies and prevention of ischaemic heart disease.
...Scholarly endeavour to digest, in a relatively short and dense manuscript, the State-of-the-Art in assessing the function of the Forgotten Chamber. The notion of surgjcal pericardiotomy as a confounder of...
Fascinating confirmation of null hypotheses including bleeding complications and survival in a Pennsylvanian cohort study, despite the easily predictable previous PCI, hock, and IABP prevalence in the emergency group. The...
An authoritative, scholarly but very readable review of the evolution of mechanical circulatory support of the left ventricle from the non-surgical standpoint.
