- Contemporary Left Main Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A
State-of-the-art Review
Authors: dbarot525787
Abstract: Contemporary Left Main Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A State-of-the-art Review Significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is observed in 4–5% of patients undergoing coronary angiographies.1 Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are more common because LMCA disease substantially affects myocardial supply. Until recently, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has been the standard of care for most patients with LMCA disease because of its established mortality b...

Authors: dbarot525787
Abstract: Percutaneous Transcatheter Closure of Post-infarction Ventricular Septal Defect: An Alternative to Surgical Intervention Post-infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a rare mechanical complication of acute MI (AMI) associated with very high acute mortality. It is a rupture between the left and right ventricle caused by infarction and necrosis of the muscular intraventricular septum. The incidence of PIVSD is approximately 0.2% in the era of primary percutaneous coro...

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence – Advisory or Adversary' Artificial intelligence (AI) leverages computers and machines capable of performing high-level executive functions, mimicking human intelligence. Machine learning (ML) is a branch of AI capable of improving itself by learning from data, identifying patterns and making decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. AI is already part of everyday life and used in areas including healthcare, banking systems and industry....

- Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Severe Mental Illness
Authors: c242508f1d9059bc0f2aa9bdd5421ba2
Abstract: Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Severe Mental Illness Approximately 1% of the UK population have a diagnosis of a severe mental illness (SMI). A diagnosis of SMI is associated with a decrease in life expectancy of up to 20 years compared with the general population.1 Although part of this mortality gap is due to complications of psychiatric disease, such as suicide, the major cause of death is cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).2,3The increased risk of CVD in patie...

Abstract: Severe Acute Thrombocytopenia After Treatment with Tirofiban: A Case Series Approach Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) are an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes before, during and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 The main adverse reactions are bleeding and thrombocytopenia in 1–2% of cases, the latter being a rare presentation but with potential catastrophic consequences. Although the pathogenesis of this phenome...

Abstract: Antithrombotic Management in AF Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A European Perspective AF is a common rhythm disturbance. In Europe, the estimated prevalence of AF in 2010 was 8.8 million patients, which is projected to rise to 17.9 million patients in 2060, mostly due to the ageing of the population.1 Approximately 20–40% of AF patients present with coronary artery disease (CAD) or develop CAD over time.2 Conversely, approximately 5–10% of subjects re...

Abstract: Angiographic and Procedural Characteristics in Frail Older Patients with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Increasing age is an important risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Population ageing means that the prevalence of ACS, and non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) in particular, is rising.1,2 However, the evidence base to guide the optimal management of older people with NSTEACS is limited, particularly if they have concomitant frailty.3,4 F...

Abstract: Effect of Ventricular Unloading on Heart Recovery In cardiac disease resulting in severe heart failure, there are numerous molecular effectors translating the change in wall stress to cardiac remodelling. Various molecules act as sensors, reacting to mechanical stress and altering the mechanical properties of the heart by means such as cardiac fibrosis, and ultimately affecting cardiac contractility. Such sensors include integrins and their ...

- Negative Effects of Acute Reloading after Mechanical Left Ventricular
Unloading for Acute MI in a Pig Model
Authors: c242508f1d9059bc0f2aa9bdd5421ba2
Abstract: Negative Effects of Acute Reloading after Mechanical Left Ventricular Unloading for Acute MI in a Pig Model Ventricular unloading in the setting of MI has demonstrated promising results in preclinical settings, with improved perfusion and reduced infarct size. However, as studies progress towards clinical applications, there is a lack of data on the effects of device removal on outcomes. Maximising the therapeutic benefits of unloading requi...

- Combining Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Impella
(ECPELLA) Before Reperfusion Mitigates Left Ventricular Loading and Injury
Due to VA-ECMO in Acute MI
Authors: c242508f1d9059bc0f2aa9bdd5421ba2
Abstract: Combining Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Impella (ECPELLA) Before Reperfusion Mitigates Left Ventricular Loading and Injury Due to VA-ECMO in Acute MI Dr Everett’s research aims to understand the ventricular haemodynamics of mechanical circulatory support in acute MI (AMI). She shared her ongoing work examining how extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with concomitant Impella support (ECPELLA), can mitigate left v...

- Promising First Results of a Newly Developed Percutaneous Left Ventricular
Assist Device in a Large Animal Model of Cardiac Arrest
Authors: c242508f1d9059bc0f2aa9bdd5421ba2
Abstract: Promising First Results of a Newly Developed Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device in a Large Animal Model of Cardiac Arrest Dr Billig’s research focuses on investigating the efficacy of the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (pLVADs) in cardiac arrest. Dr Billig emphasised that previous work has shown that survival after cardiac arrest improves with use of a pLVAD over chest compressions, but the uptake of this strate...
