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.

The Case Files: When a Spade is Not a Spade
Turrin, Danielle DO; Sattler, Steven DO; Amodeo, Dana DO A 25-year-old Hispanic man presented to the emergency department with a complaint of three days of left-sided precordial chest pain. He described the pain as a constant 6/10 with pressure-like discomfort radiating to his left arm and the left side of his neck. He also experienced nausea, but denied any provocative or palliative factors. He said he had not experienced anything similar to this before. He had no family history of heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, or sudden cardiac death. He admitted to a 1.5 pack-per-day smoking history and social alcohol use,...

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.

Super High Dose Beta-blocker Administration for the Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
First case is a 25-year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 74  mm and ejection fraction (EF) was 29%. Carvedilol was already uptitrated to 20 mg twice daily. Right heart catheterization (RHC) revealed very low cardiac output (C.O. 2.82 l/min), cardiac index (C.I. 1.47 l/min/m2), stroke volume (SV 29 ml) and rapid heart rate (HR 96/min) despite maximu m dosage of carvedilol in Japan. Carvedilol was uptitrated to 50 mg twice daily and additional 10 mg bisoprolol twice daily was started under administration of low-dose dobutamine.

Case Report of High-Grade Atrioventricular Block and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
CONCLUSION: When AVB or other arrhythmias initiate a TTC, the patient can experience sudden cardiac death and decompensate quickly. Therefore, clinicians should understand this rare but fatal complication because these patients require pacemakers and beta blockers.PMID:35348088 | DOI:10.7812/TPP/21.006
