267 When investigating stroke is a waste of time
Young stroke should alert clinicians to investigate for unusual causes.
A previously well 43-year-old Caucasian female presented with 2 days of punctuated left sided weakness and sensory inattention. MRI demonstrated multiple territory infarcts, predominantly on the right side. With no vascular risk factors, high dose steroids were commenced assuming primary angiitis of the CNS (PACNS). Blood tests including ESR, HIV, an autoimmune and thrombotic screen and blood cultures were negative. A 24-hour ECG and TOE failed to identify an embolic source, though interval MRIs plus CT angi- ography revealed evolving cerebral and sple...

Left ventricular free-wall rupture: An unusual presentation of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis
Perfusion. 2022 May 16:2676591221092313. doi: 10.1177/02676591221092313. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare, often asymptomatic, condition. A 55-year-old woman presented with hemiparesis, facial palsy and chest pain. After urgent investigation, she was referred as a case of type A aortic dissection complicated by tamponade, myocardial infarction and stroke. Review of her imaging identified haemopericardium but no dissection, and emergency surgery proceeded considering her unstable condition. She underwent an emergency repair of left-ventricular free-wall rupture and excisio...

Low serum albumin: A neglected predictor in patients with cardiovascular disease
Eur J Intern Med. 2022 May 7:S0953-6205(22)00181-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2022.05.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlbumin, the most abundant circulating protein in blood, is an essential protein which binds and transports various drugs and substances, maintains the oncotic pressure of blood and influences the physiological function of the circulatory system. Albumin also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties. Evidence supports albumin's role as a strong predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk in several patient groups. Its protective role extends to those with coronary artery disease, heart failu...
