Perfusion Assessment in Critical Limb Ischemia: Principles for Understanding and the Development of Evidence and Evaluation of Devices: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Abstract There are >12 million patients with peripheral artery disease in the United States. The most severe form of peripheral artery disease is critical limb ischemia (CLI). The diagnosis and management of CLI is often challenging. Ethnic differences in comorbidities and presentation of CLI exist. Compared with white patients, black and Hispanic patients have higher prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease and are more likely to present with gangrene, whereas white patients are more likely to present with ulcers and rest pain. A thorough evaluation of limb perfusion is important in the ...

A 28-year-old male with spontaneous coronary artery dissection complicated by apical thrombus and acute ischemic stroke: An interesting case
Radiol Case Rep. 2022 Nov 2;18(1):246-249. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2022.10.001. eCollection 2023 Jan.ABSTRACTSpontaneous coronary artery dissection is described as the intramural bleeding that separates the layers of an epicardial coronary artery wall, either with or without an intimal tear. Atherosclerosis, iatrogenic damage, or trauma are not linked to this syndrome. Here we present a 28-year-old male with 1 month history stroke but no any chronic disease as well family history of heart disease who presented with 2 days' duration of typical cardiac chest pain. Based on an emergency electrocardiogram that showed biphasic T-w...

A pulmonary vein thrombus in a patient with autonomic nervous dysfunction
Publication date: Available online 8 May 2015 Source:IJC Heart & Vasculature Author(s): Hidekazu Takeuchi Ischemic stroke is a serious clinical problem, and preventing ischemic stroke is an important clinical target. Left atrial thrombus is a known cause of ischemic stroke. In 2015, I reported that nearly all left atrial thrombi result from a pulmonary vein thrombus (PVT), indicating that PVT is associated with ischemic stroke. However, the relationship between PVT and autonomic nervous function is unknown. Although PVT is believed to be rare, since 2012, I have reported several cases of PVT in elderly patients w...

Prevalence and severity of hypertensive emergencies and outbreaks in the hospital emergency department of CHU Timone at Marseille: Follow-up in three months of hospitalized patients.
CONCLUSION: Hypertensive emergencies hospitalized in Timone Hospital represent 44% of patients hospitalized for emergency HTA. Their gravity is 1/3 since most patients die within three months warranting closer management of these fragile patients by creating a specialized consulting postemergency.

Peripheral Vascular Disease and Carotid Artery Disease Are Associated with Decreased Bile Acid Excretion
This study investigated BAE in patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and carotid artery disease (CA) and those without these diseases, compared to patients with CAD, stroke, or no evidence of atherosclerosis. Patients with complaints of chest pain-suspected CAD, syncope, stroke/TIA, severe headache, intermittent claudication, or falls were enrolled. All received a 4-day standard diet with 490 mg of cholesterol and internal standard copper thiocyanate. Fecal BAE was measured using gas-liquid chromatography. One hundred and three patients, sixty-eight (66%) men and thirty-five women (34%), mean age range 60.9 ± 8....

Outcome of primary PCI - An Indian tertiary care center experience.
CONCLUSION: Our study has shown that PPCI is feasible with good outcomes in Indian scenario. Even though the recommended door-to-balloon time can be achieved, the total ischemic time remained long. CS in the setting of STEMI was associated with poor outcomes. PMID: 24581092 [PubMed - in process]

Trends in Hospitalization for Hypertensive Emergency, and Relationship of End-Organ Damage With In-Hospital Mortality.
CONCLUSION: A rising trend in hospitalization for HTNE, with an overall decrease in in-hospital mortality was observed from 2002 to 2012, possibly related to changes in coding practices and improved management. Presence of acute cardiorespiratory failure, stroke/TIA, chest pain, and aortic dissection were most predictive of higher hospital mortality. PMID: 28430850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 47: Presentation and Outcomes of Women Veterans with Suspected Ischemia and Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Insights from the VA Clinical Assessment Reporting and Tracking Program. Poster Session I
Conclusion: Between October 2007 and September 2011, 23% of women veterans undergoing catheterization for suspected ischemia had non-obstructive CAD. In contrast to non-VA studies, adverse clinical outcomes and re-hospitalization rates for chest pain were less frequent. These findings may represent systematic differences in treatment and follow-up care of women veterans between VA and non-VA healthcare systems.

Characteristics, management and 5 years outcomes of patients with high risk, stable multivessel coronary heart disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that patients withadvanced multivessel coronary artery disease who are qualified forcomplete surgical revascularization benefit more than those who were not qualified for surgery and were treated withmedical therapy supplemented in selected cases with incomplete percutaneous revascularization in regard to several primary end points at 5-year follow-up.

Understanding Digoxin
 Most of us have heard of, or encountered a patient taking Digoxin at some point in our carreers. But, do we understand what it is and how it affects our patient?    Digoxin (Lanoxin), is a Cardiac Glycoside, derived from the foxglove plant, Digitalis. This medication is often seen in the pre-hospital setting, used for the treatment of:    Heart Failure (HF) with reduced Systolic Function   Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Atrial Flutter (A-flutter) associated with Rapid Ventricular Response (RVR)   Cardiomyopathies   Often combined with Calcium and Beta Channel Blockers, Angiot...

Abstract 132: The POWR Survey: Patient and Physician Perspectives on Outcomes Weighting in Revascularization. Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Patients and physicians agree on which outcomes are most (death and stroke)and least impactful (incision scar), but there is a lot of variability in between supporting the reporting of more adverse outcomes and not just those included in MACE.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Coronary Heart Disease in Korea: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007 to 2011
Using data from 2007 to 2011 of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we evaluated the influence of coronary heart disease (CHD) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measured by the EQ-5D in comparison with the general population and the predictors of HRQoL in CHD. Compared with the general population, HRQoL was impaired in the EQ-5D dimensions of mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The impairment of HRQoL was much greater in the older age group and in females. In subjects with CHD, the predictors for a low EQ-5D index were old age, female sex, low education, s...

Opioid Use and Its Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease and Brain Health: A Presidential Advisory From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2021 Aug 19:CIR0000000000001007. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe misuse of opioids continues to be epidemic, resulting in dependency and a recent upsurge in drug overdoses that have contributed to a significant decrease in life expectancy in the United States. Moreover, recent data suggest that commonly used opioids for the management of pain may produce undesirable pharmacological actions and interfere with critical medications commonly used in cardiovascular disease and stroke; however, the impact on outcomes remains controversial. The American Heart Association developed...
