Non-Calcified Coronary Artery Plaque on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiogram: Prevalence and Significance
CONCLUSIONS: NCP is the initial precursor of calcified plaque and serves as a prominent marker of early coronary atherosclerosis. By detecting NCP during early stages, several measures can be implemented which can alter the evolutionary course of the underlying disease. This can potentially lead to a lower incidence of cardiovascular events.PMID:37736993 | DOI:10.3390/tomography9050140

Blood Flow Energy Identifies Coronary Lesions Culprit of Future Myocardial Infarction
Ann Biomed Eng. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s10439-023-03362-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study establishes a link between blood flow energy transformations in coronary atherosclerotic lesions and clinical outcomes. The predictive capacity for future myocardial infarction (MI) was compared with that of established quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)-derived predictors. Angiography-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed on 80 human coronary lesions culprit of MI within 5 years and 108 non-culprit lesions for future MI. Blood flow energy transformations were assessed in the conv...

Smoking, immunity, and cardiovascular prognosis: a study of plasma IgE concentration in patients with acute myocardial infarction
CONCLUSION: Cotinine exhibits a positive association with AMI, wherein IgE plays a mediating role. Elevated plasma levels of IgE was positively associated with AMI and poor prognosis, which further confirms the adverse role of smoking on the incidence of AMI and prognosis. (Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2100053000).PMID:37731521 | PMC:PMC10508960 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2023.1174081

Understanding categories or subgroups and a common clinical reasoning error: the example of aneurysm size and neck width
CONCLUSION: Clinical experience and observational studies alone can mislead practice. Proper clinical decisions for individuals requires randomized evidence.PMID:37734248 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101491

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...

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in the assessment of cardiovascular risk in adult liver transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: MPS is a safe and reliable technique for cardiovascular assessment of patients who are candidates for liver transplantation, given the low rate of false negatives during follow-up.PMID:37726078 | DOI:10.1016/j.remnie.2023.09.001

Assessing Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression by Using Perivascular Adipose Tissue Attenuation on Computed Tomography Angiography
CONCLUSION: Elevated PVAT attenuation is independently associated with AAA progression, including patients of AAA with ILT, suggesting the potential of PVAT attenuation as a predictive imaging marker for AAA expansion.PMID:37724591 | DOI:10.3348/kjr.2023.0339

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...

Long-term outcomes after conservative and EDAS treatment for 111 elderly patients with moyamoya disease: longitudinal and cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The postoperative long-term stroke rate among elderly patients with MMD was lower in the EDAS group than in the conservative treatment group. Long-term stroke events were associated with advanced age, aneurysm, and initial ischemia after conservative treatment and only initial hemorrhage after EDAS.PMID:37724788 | DOI:10.3171/2023.7.JNS231060
