O-015 What can systemic and intracranial proteomic profiles tell us about why some TICI 3 patients do better than others?
In conclusion, intracranial and systemic proteomic differences in TICI 3 subjects may inform why some outcomes are superior to others. Preliminary data presented here provide a springboard for further investigation into how proteins may serve as prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets in a subset of MT subjects.Disclosures B.

Combined brain/heart magnetic resonance imaging in antiphospholipid syndrome-two sides of the same coin
AbstractAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial, venous, and/or small vessel thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and persistently elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in APS can present as heart valvular disease (HVD), macro-micro-coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial dysfunction, cardiac thrombi, or pulmonary hypertension. Brain disease presents as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and less frequently as cerebral venous thrombosis, seizures, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis (MS) −like syndrome, or chorea. Infarcts...

Atrial Fibrillation and Dementia.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation is associated with multiple adverse comorbidities, including the development of dementia in patients with and without a history of stroke. Mechanistic models have been proposed to explain the association of AF and dementia. Alterations of brain perfusion from embolic events, bleeding, and rhythm-related hypoperfusion underlie many of these models. Multiple mediators such as oxidative injury, inflammatory and autoimmune mechanisms, and genetic predisposition also interplay in the disease association. There are potential therapeutic opportunities to reduce dementia risk, including early ...

The Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Inflammatory Arthropathies and Systemic Rheumatic Diseases
AbstractPurpose of the ReviewIn this review, the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in the diagnosis, risk stratification, management and prognostication of inflammatory arthropathies and systemic rheumatic diseases (IASRD) is discussed. There have been several recent publications and it is timely to place into perspective the rapidly evolving concepts of advanced imaging in IASRDs through review and critical appraisal of the literature. IASRD are multisystemic autoimmune disorders with predilection for cardiovascular involvement a...

Severe Symptoms, but a Truly Treatable Disease
​BY NOURA MAHDI; DARRON LEWIS; JEREMY OSBORNE; & AHMED RAZIUDDIN, MDA 73-year-old man was brought to the emergency department from his nursing home for rectal bleeding and anemia. The patient mentioned he had had episodes of bright red rectal bleeding and constipation for a few months. A colonoscopy had been done prior to the visit, which revealed a large intestine tumor and biopsy confirming adenocarcinoma. He was awaiting an appointment with his surgeon.The patient reported bloody rectal leakage, and a CBC done at the nursing home showed a hemoglobin level of 7.2. He also complained of dyspnea but denied any other ...

Giant-Cell Arteritis Presenting as Isolated Bilateral CN-VI Palsies: A Rare Case Report of a 65 Year Male. (P2.378)
Conclusions:GCA is the most prevalent systemic vasculitis in the elderly. It can present with a wide variety of symptoms ranging from fatigue, headache, visual loss, and even stroke. However as noted in this case, isolated CN-VI palsy can be a very rare, early manifestation of GCA. As GCA responds well to corticosteroid therapy, prompt diagnosis and treatment is critical to prevent and/or limit neurologic sequelae. As highlighted by this case, in the event of recurrent incidents and absence of other diagnosis; GCA should be considered even if headache is absent.Disclosure: Dr. Lunagariya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Patel ...

Use of the Corus ® CAD Gene Expression Test for Assessment of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Likelihood in Symptomatic Non-Diabetic Patients
Conclusions The Corus CAD test has been extensively evaluated since it was first derived, including with two prospective multi-center trials. Given the scope of the deleterious effects of CAD and the considerable costs involved in diagnosing obstructive CAD, a blood test that can help in this determination is certainly valuable. The Corus CAD test promises to have an important role in this regard particularly if it continues to perform this well in larger, more diverse cohorts.
