Half-Dose Tenecteplase or Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Older Patients With ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in STREAM-2: A Randomized, Open-Label Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Halving the dose of tenecteplase in a pharmaco-invasive strategy in this early-presenting, older STEMI population was associated with electrocardiographic changes that were at least comparable to those after primary PCI. Similar clinical efficacy and angiographic end points occurred in both treatment groups. The risk of intracranial hemorrhage was higher with half-dose tenecteplase than with primary PCI. If timely PCI is unavailable, this pharmaco-invasive strategy is a reasonable alternative, provided that contraindications to fibrinolysis are observed and excess anticoagulation is avoided.REGISTRATION: URL: ...

Demographics, Risk Factors, and Etiology of Posterior Cerebral Artery Stroke Causing Homonymous Hemianopia
CONCLUSIONS: Most patients in our PCA cohort had multiple conventional stroke risk factors, a finding not previously documented. Mean age at stroke onset and AF frequency were lower than in our ICA/MCA cohort, in agreement with previous studies. As some other studies have found, nearly 1/3 of strokes were attributed to cardioaortic embolism. Within that group, AF was often a poststroke diagnosis, a finding not previously highlighted. Compared with earlier studies, a relatively high portion of strokes were of undetermined etiology and of other determined etiologies, including stroke after endovascular or surgical interventi...

Prognostic value of Peripheral Endothelial Function on Major Cardiovascular Events above traditional risk factors
CONCLUSION: PMED predicts cardiovascular events. Non-invasive assessment of peripheral endothelial function may be useful in early detection and improving the stratification of high-risk patients for cardiovascular events.PMID:37431927 | DOI:10.1093/eurjpc/zwad225

Chlorthalidone versus hydrochlorothiazide for preventing cardiovascular disease in hypertension: Is the case closed?
Hellenic J Cardiol. 2023 Jul 8:S1109-9666(23)00115-X. doi: 10.1016/j.hjc.2023.07.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe optimal diuretic choice [hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) or chlorthalidone (CTD)] for the management of hypertension has been an ongoing debate for several years. HCTZ is widely used in the form of single-pill combinations, whereas CTD is a more potent drug vs. HCTZ, especially in reducing nighttime blood pressure (BP), with some indirect evidence suggesting a superiority in terms of cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction. In addition, recent data showed that CTD was safe and effective in terms of BP lowering in p...

Echocardiographic pressure –strain loop‐derived stroke work of the right ventricle: validation against the gold standard
ConclusionsIntegrated echo measurement of pressure –strain loop-derived SW correlates with PV loop-based assessment of RV SW. Wasted work correlates with invasive measures of load-independent RV function. Given the methodological and anatomical challenges of RV work assessment, evolution of this approach by incorporating more elaborated echo analy sis data and an RV reference curve might improve its reliability to mirror invasively assessed RV SW.

Risk of arterial thromboembolism, bleeding and mortality in atrial fibrillation patients with comorbid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: In AF patients, the presence of cancer is associated with a similar risk of TE and an increased risk of bleeding and all-cause death.PMID:37414144 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.06.005

Ventricular global function index is associated with clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: RV GFI was associated with CAO in this cohort, and inclusion in multivariable models had increased predictive value compared to RVEF. GFI uses readily available CMR data without additional post-processing and may provide additional prognostic value in pediatric PH patients beyond traditional CMR markers.PMID:37400886 | PMC:PMC10316558 | DOI:10.1186/s12968-023-00947-8

Occam ’s Razor Versus Hickam’s Dictum in a Presentation of STEMI
A 79-year-old female presented with an inferolateral STEMI on a background of a recent multi-territorial stroke, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, and prior thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Percutaneous intervention involved a drug-eluting balloon to the culprit oblique marginal artery and medically managed calcified 80% ostial right coronary artery (RCA). New paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was noted. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a 13x7 mm mobile aortic valve mass with mild regurgitation.
