Geriatric patient with neurological symptoms and prolonged aPTT
Inn Med (Heidelb). 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1007/s00108-023-01581-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 73-year-old man with dementia was referred to our clinic with hypernatremia and volume depletion. New-onset neurogenic dysphagia was likely the reason for both. The patient had chronic embolic strokes on the computed tomography (CT) images. Documentation from previous hospitalizations in different hospitals revealed a repeatedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT); 5 years prior, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome had already been suspected, but the necessary workup was never completed. We diagnosed the patie...

Transient left bundle branch block associated with very high coronary artery calcium: a case report
We present a case of very high CAC in a 64-year-old woman with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia presenting with dyspnea. Initial electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrated normal conduction with a heart rate of 76 beats/min, but new T-wave inversions in V1-V4 and a high-sensitivity troponin-I (hsTnI) value of 6 ng/L (normal < 6 ng/L). Repeat ECG in the emergency department showed normal sinus rhythm (heart rate of 80 beats/min); however, it subsequently demonstrated a left bundle branch block (LBBB) with a repeat hsTnI of 7 ng/L. Stress testing with pharmacologic single-photon emission computerized tomography...

Early Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography and Preventative Treatment in Patients with Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome A secondary analysis of the RAPID-CTCA trial
CONCLUSIONS: Prescription patterns of preventative treatment varied during index hospitalisation in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome. Early CTCA facilitated targeted individualisation of these therapies based on the extent of coronary artery disease.PMID:37709109 | DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2023.09.003

Rectus Sheath Hematoma in a Patient with Dual-Antiplatelet Therapy Including Ticagrelor: A Case Report
Hamostaseologie. 2023 May 19. doi: 10.1055/a-2020-4643. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain associated with several risk factors including trauma, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pregnancy, and anticoagulation as it can be iatrogenic. Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), combined usage of a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and aspirin, is a cornerstone treatment for patients with acute coronary syndromes. Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with several adverse hemorrhagic complications. An 86-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency departme...

Acute carpal tunnel syndrome from thrombosed persistent median artery in a patient with congenitally absent radial artery
CONCLUSIONS: Although infrequently encountered, the knowledge of the anatomical variations of the forearm and hand together with doppler screening and CTA is essential to the surgical management of ACTS.PMID:36920039 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231164472

Major Global Coronary Artery Calcium Guidelines
JACC Cardiovasc Imaging. 2023 Jan;16(1):98-117. doi: 10.1016/j.jcmg.2022.06.018. Epub 2022 Sep 14.ABSTRACTThis review summarizes the framework behind global guidelines of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk assessment, for applications in both the clinical setting and preventive therapy. By comparing similarities and differences in recommendations, this review identifies most notable common features for the application of CAC presented by different cardiovascular societies across the world. Guidelines included from North America are as follows: 1) the 2019 American College of Cardio...

Predictive values of coronary artery calcium and arterial stiffness for long-term cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease
CONCLUSIONS: A CAC score ≥100 or a CAVI ≥ 9.0 predicts the long-term occurrence of MACEs in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with stable CAD. These two noninvasive tests can be used as screening tools to guide treatment for the prevention of future CV events.PMID:36448219 | DOI:10.1002/clc.23955
