STEMI vs NSTEACS management trends in non-invasive hospital.
CONCLUSION: NSTEACS patients in western province of KSA present at an older age are mostly males and have higher prevalence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia compared with STEMI patients. It is therefore important to identify patients with high-risk profile and put implement measures to reduce these factors. PMID: 27543475 [PubMed - in process]

Selective Heart Rate Reduction With Ivabradine Increases Central Blood Pressure in Stable Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trials
In conclusion, the decrease in HR with ivabradine was associated with an increase in central systolic pressure, which may have antagonized possible benefits of HR lowering in coronary artery disease patients. Clinical Trials—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier NCT01039389.

Regional contribution to ventricular stroke volume is affected on the left side, but not on the right in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Abstract To develop more sensitive measures of impaired cardiac function in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), since detection of impaired right ventricular (RV) function is important in these patients. With the hypothesis that a change in septal function in patients with PH is associated with altered longitudinal and lateral function of both ventricles, as a compensatory mechanism, we quantified the contributions of these parameters to stroke volume (SV) in both ventricles using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Seventeen patients (10 females) evaluated for PH underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) a...

Survival protection by bodyweight in isolated scleroderma-related pulmonary artery hypertension
Abstract In chronic heart failure (CHF) due to systemic cardiovascular disease, obese patients have better survival. Bodyweight versus survival was analyzed post hoc in subjects with limited scleroderma (SSc) and isolated pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), i.e. with CHF due to pulmonary vascular disease. Rheumatologists referred scleroderma subjects for evaluation, and PAH was ascertained by right heart catheterization (RHC). Forty-nine SSc-PAH subjects were stratified by body mass index (BMI): obese 7 (14.3 %), overweight 11 (22.4 %), normal weight 21 (42.9 %), and underweight 10 (20.4 %) for 24-month follo...

A case of stroke during cardiac catheterisation: It's not common, but it is a double whammy!
We report a case of a 57-year-old lady with acute myocardial infarction who developed stroke on the cardiac catheterisation table. The case illustrates the need for a protocol of care, vigilant cardiologist and staff who can recognise the symptoms and signs as well as good collaborative efforts between the cardiology, neurology and, at times, the interventional radiology teams.

Long ‐term follow‐up after PFO device closure
ConclusionsDevice closure of PFO can be performed safely with very good long‐term resolution of atrial shunting. Recurrent neurologic events after PFO closure may reflect additional comorbid risk factors unrelated to the potential for paradoxical embolism. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (RVOT VTI) and tricuspid regurgitation velocity/RVOT VTI ratio in pediatric pulmonary hypertension
Doppler echocardiography is a simple method of assessing hemodynamics in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Determination of the right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (RVOT VTI) is a part of the non-invasive investigation of pulmonary flow in adults [1,2]. The normal range of RVOT VTI in adults is stable, and differences serve as indicators for changes in RV stroke volume. In children, non-invasive techniques to assess pulmonary blood flow are of interest because such investigations do not require invasive cardiac catheterization (CC) that is not without risk in PH children [3].

Incremental Value of the CRUSADE, ACUITY, and HAS-BLED Risk Scores for the Prediction of Hemorrhagic Events After Coronary Stent Implantation in Patients Undergoing Long or Short Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Coronary Heart Disease
Conclusions Our analysis suggests that the CRUSADE score predicts major bleeding similarly to ACUITY and better than HAS BLED in an all-comer population with percutaneous coronary intervention and potentially identifies patients at higher risk of hemorrhagic complications when treated with a long-term dual antiplatelet therapy regimen.

Hemodynamic changes with high infusion rates of lipid emulsion. Experimental study in swine.
CONCLUSION: In doses used for drug-related toxicity, lipid emulsion cause significant hemodynamic changes with hypertension, particularly in the pulmonary circulation and increase in vascular resistance, which is a factor to consider prior to use of these solutions.

Left ventricular systolic torsion is correlated to right ventricular dilation in pulmonary hypertension patients
Conclusion: We concluded that left ventricular torsion which plays a key role in left ventricular systolic function and stroke volume is affected in PH patients with MPAP higher than 35 mmHg and is correlated to right ventricular dilation.

Apelin improves cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusion: Acute apelin administration in patients with PAH led to an improvement in cardiac output and pulmonary vascular resistance. APJ agonism may be a useful therapeutic target for treatment of PAH.

Hemodynamic profiles in patients with chronic thromboembolic disease before and after pulmonary endarterectomy
Conclusions: Our observations point to an abnormal pulmonary vascular response to exercise and a decreased ventilatory efficiency as mechanisms underlying the exercise limitation observed in CTE patients. PEA resulted in improvements in circulatory responses indicative for an improved stroke volume response upon exercise and ventilatory efficiency.
