Cardiovascular highlights from non-cardiology journals
Stenting of atherosclerotic renal artery disease fails to improve outcomes Atherosclerotic renal-artery stenosis is common among patients with cardiovascular disease and the condition may contribute to hypertension. The impact of renal artery angioplasty or stenting on the risk of clinical events among patients with atherosclerotic renal disease remains poorly defined. In the Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions (CORAL) study, 947 patients atherosclerotic renal-artery stenosis and hypertension and/or chronic kidney disease were randomized to medical therapy alone or medical therapy plus renal artery ste...

Treatment patterns, risk factor control and functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease in the cardiac rehabilitation setting
Conclusion Within a short period of 3–4 weeks, CR led to substantial improvements in key risk factors such as lipid profile, blood pressure, and physical fitness for all patients, even if CKD was present.

Meta-Analysis of Revascularization Versus Medical Therapy for Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis
The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of revascularization versus medical therapy in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). ARAS is the most common cause of secondary hypertension and is associated with several complications, such as renal failure, coronary artery disease, cardiac destabilization, and stroke. Medical therapy is the cornerstone for management of ARAS; however, numerous trials have compared medical therapy with revascularization in the form of percutaneous renal artery angioplasty (PTRA) or percutaneous renal artery angioplasty with stent placement (PTRAS).

Particularities in coronary revascularization in elderly patients presenting with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Publication date: August 2014 Source:Cor et Vasa, Volume 56, Issue 4 Author(s): Maria Dorobanţu , Lucian Câlmâc , Andrada Bogdan , Vlad Bătăilă , Bogdan Drăgoescu , Andrei Radu , Mugur Marinescu , Şerban Arvanitopol , Gabriel Tatu-Chiţoiu , Rodica Niculescu Nowadays, ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is seen with greater incidence in older patients. Current guidelines recommend an immediate invasive evaluation and eventually primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in all STEMI patients regardless of age. Nevertheless, data in literature show a significant underuse of interventional treatm...

0120: B-type Nt-proBNP as a marker for contrast induced nephropathy in patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
Conclusion From this large contemporary prospective study, our work suggests that Nt-proBNP levels at admission could help to identify patients at risk of CIN beyond traditional risk factors.

Fibromuscular Dysplasia of Renal and Carotid Arteries
We report here two cases of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). The first case describes an asymptomatic 75-year-old man with FMD of the right internal carotid artery. The second case reports a 17-year-old man who presented with arterial hypertension caused by FMD of the left renal artery and was subsequently successfully treated by angioplasty. FMD is a rare nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory angiopathy, which can involve almost every arterial vascular bed. It is a less common cause of stenosis of renal and carotid arteries. FMD can present with arterial hypertension when it involves renal arteries or with ischemic stroke or ...

Heart rate and use of β-blockers in Mexican stable outpatients with coronary artery disease.
CONCLUSIONS: In a large proportion of Mexican patients with stable coronary disease the HR remain elevated, >70bpm, even with the use of β-blockers; this requires further attention. PMID: 25921309 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome with reversible renal artery stenosis
A 41-year-old woman presented with thunderclap headaches, cortical blindness, generalized seizures, and severe hypertension. Brain imaging (figure) showed features of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.1 Her neurologic examination improved, but severe hypertension persisted. Abdomen CT angiography showed right renal artery narrowing with possible dissection, initially attributed to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Renal angioplasty was considered; however, she was discharged on multiple antihypertensive agents. Her blood pressure normalized, and parenchymal l...

E-029 symptomatic hemodynamic depression occurring before balloon inflation during carotid angioplasty/stenting
ConclusionDuring CAS, hemodynamic depression is caused by the stretch-induced stimulation of the carotid sinus baroreceptors located in the adventitial walls of the carotid bulb. This baroreceptor activation caused by balloon dilatation and stent deployment causes increased afferent signals to the caudal medulla by way of the carotid sinus and glossopharyngeal nerves. The medulla subsequently responds by increasing parasympathetic impulses and decreasing sympathetic vascular tone, which results in bradycardia and hypotension. Reported incidences of HD as well as individual hemodynamic parameters following CAS procedures va...

The Long-Term Effects of the Type of Carotid Endarterectomy on Blood Pressure
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been one of the most studied and scrutinized operative procedures in vascular surgery. Retrospective series and randomized trials have shown no difference in perioperative stroke and long-term restenosis between conventional patch angioplasty (cCEA) and eversion (eCEA). A number of authors have shown acute hemodynamic disturbances in the immediate postoperative period leading to a temporary hypertensive state. eCEA may increase the risk of postoperative hypertension due to the more extensive dissection of the carotid bulb.

The detrimental clinical impact of severe angiographic vasospasm may be diminished by maximal medical therapy and intensive endovascular treatment
Conclusions An intensive endovascular approach of TBA and/or intra-arterial verapamil in combination with induced hypertension for severe aVSP may result in comparable clinical outcomes to those without vasospasm.
