A 50-something with Regular Wide Complex Tachycardia: What to do if electrical cardioversion does not work?
Case submitted by anonymous. Written by Smith. Ken ' s piece at the bottom is excellent.A 50-something presented with sudden onset palpitations 8 hrs prior while sitting at desk at work. He had concurrent sharp substernal chest pain that resolved, but palpitations continued.Over past 3 months, he has had similar intermittent episodes of sharp chest pain while running, but none at rest. Past medical history includes coronary stenting 17 years prior. A brief chart review revealed his most recent echo in 2018, with LV EF 67%, “very small” inferior wall motion abnormality.Initial ED ECG:What do you think?This wa...

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...

Intraoperative indocyanine green angiography for predicting postoperative hypoparathyroidism
CONCLUSION: NIR fluorescent imaging with intraoperative PG ICG angiography is a safe and an easily repeatable method. This technique provides improved detecting and assessment of the perfusion of the PG. The need for autotransplantation of the PG can be determined more objectively using ICG imaging than simple visualization.PMID:37721589 | DOI:10.1007/s00464-023-10466-3

Serum Soluble Lectin-like Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-1 (sLOX-1) Is Associated with Atherosclerosis Severity in Coronary Artery Disease
Biomolecules. 2023 Jul 29;13(8):1187. doi: 10.3390/biom13081187.ABSTRACTRisk-factor-based scoring systems for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) remain concerningly inaccurate at the level of the individual and would benefit from the addition of biomarkers that correlate with atherosclerosis burden directly. We hypothesized that serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) would be independently associated with CAD and investigated this in the BioHEART study using 968 participants with CT coronary angiograms, which were scored for disease burden in the form of coronary artery ca...

Plaque Rupture in a Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivor without Cardiovascular Risk Factors 20 Years after Thoracic Radiotherapy: A Case Report
DISCUSSION: In HL survivors treated with thoracic radiotherapy, a calcium score of zero may not give the same warranty period for cardiac event-free survival compared to the general population. Coronary computed tomography angiography can be a proper diagnostic tool to detect CAD at an early stage after mediastinal irradiation, as performing calcium scoring may not be sufficient in this population to detect non-calcified plaques, which may show rapid progression and lead to acute coronary syndrome. Also, intensive lipid-lowering therapy should be considered in the presence of atherosclerosis in this patient population.PMID...

Impact of age on pre-procedural TIMI flow in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
CONCLUSION: The present study shows that among STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, more advanced age represents an independent predictor of preprocedural IRA patency. Future studies will define the implications on procedural results and long-term prognosis.PMID:37605955 | DOI:10.2459/JCM.0000000000001482

Temporal Changes in Coronary < sup > 18 < /sup > F-Fluoride Plaque Uptake in Patients with Coronary Atherosclerosis
Conclusion: Coronary 18F-fluoride uptake is associated with the severity and progression of coronary artery disease but does not undergo a rapid dynamic change in patients with chronic or unstable coronary artery disease. This finding suggests that coronary 18F-fluoride uptake is a temporally stable marker of established and progressive disease.PMID:37591540 | DOI:10.2967/jnumed.122.264331

Prognostic value of coronary CT angiography for the prediction of all-cause mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction: a propensity score analysis
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2023 Aug 17. doi: 10.1007/s10554-023-02918-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo explore the relationship between comprehensive assessment of coronary atherosclerosis by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and all-cause mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction in the Chinese population. Sixty-three patients from the prospective long-term study who experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during the follow-up were included. No-MACE patients were 1:1 propensity-matched. Various qualitative and quantitative CCTA parameters, such as coronary artery calcium score (CACS), high-risk plaque, c...
