In this study, cangrelor was discontinued 1-6 hours prior to surgery, while aspirin was continued throughout the perioperative period. Bridging with cangrelor did not increase major bleeds prior to surgery, though minor bleeds, mostly ecchymosis at venipuncture site, was higher. P2Y12 assay documented sufficient platelet inhibition corresponding to levels required for anti thrombotic effect [1]. Cangrelor is awaiting approval and more large scale trials regarding the use of bridging are needed.

Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List
Editor’s note: “Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List” is a monthly roundup where we share some of the most compelling health care narratives driving the news and conversation in recent weeks.
Disability In STEM
Jesse Shanahan, a master’s student in astronomy at Wesleyan University, has a physical disability. That makes her rare among students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields, where only 9 percent to 10 percent of undergraduates, and only 1 percent of Ph.D. recipients, in the United States have disabilities.
Beyond the physical barriers she faces—like inaccessible buildings...

This study found that though it is often associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), it can also occur in those without significant CAD. It was not specifically associated with disease of right coronary artery disease.
This cardioinhibitory response may be a manifestation of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Bezold-Jarisch reflex inhibits sympathetic activity (sympathetic withdrawal) and increases parasympathetic activity, resulting in bradycardia, which may be associated with vasodilatation, nausea and hypotension. Bezold-Jarisch has been described in the setting of inferior wall infarction and coronary angiography. Origin...

ASD with right to left shunt on colour Doppler echocardiography
Subcostal view on echocardiography showing atrial septal defect (ASD) with right to left shunt
Classically atrial septal defect (ASD) is best imaged from the subcostal view on echocardiography as the septum is perpendicular to the ultrasound beam in this view. The ASD is marked with stars in the left image panel. Right image panel shows the colour Doppler flow pattern across the ASD. Blue colour indicates that the flow is away from the transducer. In this case a downward flow across the ASD in this view is from right atrium to left atrium (right to left shunt). When right to left shunt across the atrial septum is noted in ...

Mechanisms of improvement of heart failure in VSD
If a child with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and heart failure improves, what are the possibilities?
Spontaneous decrease in size of VSD: This is best natural course and needs no further treatment.
Development of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction: This is the next best possibility which could have occurred when the heart failure has decreased. This can progress to a Tetralogy of Fallot like physiology with right to left shunting across the VSD and is known as Gasul variant or Gasul phenomenon [1]. Still it can be remedied by surgical treatment. VSD closure and resection of RVOT are needed.
Developme...

Trans Esophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
Transesophageal echocardiography is a specialised form of echocardiographic study using an echo probe held at the tip of an endoscope like device. As the esophagus is very close to the heart, higher quality images are obtained. Interference by air in the lungs, which is usual for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is also avoided. As the imaging is in the near field, higher frequency transducers can be used, providing better image resolution. TEE imaging frequency is of the order of 5 – 10 MHz. TEE is very useful for imaging the posterior structures of the heart like the left atrium. Clots in the left atrial app...
