Ventricular septal defect complicating acute myocardial infarction: Dx and Mx: @ESC_Journals @thiele_holger 🥸In 2021, we wrote this @AHAScience statement with @seanvandiepen @DrMauricioCohen: https://lnkd.in/eDexXwwF 😱 This is a nice follow-up statement on VSD 🥸Summary 👇 https://lnkd.in/e6Q8pKqZ

An interesting case of intracranial stenosis in a young patient. Sadly, we are seeing many young patients presenting at a pretty young age with atherosclerotic stenosis. This was one such patient having recurrent TIA with severe intracranial stenosis. In this case, as soon as we placed the guiding catheter, we saw clot formation beyond the stenosis. Initial doubt was whether it was an air bubble, but clearly, it kept increasing in size and we confirmed that it was a clot formation. In fact, guiding catheter placement and a slight change in hemodynamics triggered platelet aggregation.  One can explain this clot formation based on turbulent flow beyond the stenosis, oscillatory and low shear that can cause platelet aggregation and thromboembolic strokes. We lysed the clot using injectable antiplatelet agents, and thereafter we did angioplasty followed by stenting with a self-expanding stent, ultimately achieving good hemodynamic reconstitution. The side branches were preserved. We did dilatation with a drug-eluting balloon to decrease the chance of recurrent stenosis.

Today is World Diabetes Day! 🩺 It is an opportunity to raise awareness about the impact of diabetes on people's health and highlight the opportunities to strengthen the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes. Here at the Orthopaedic & Spine Center, our team of interventional pain management physicians work with patients to help treat diabetes-induced nerve pain. In this article, Dr. Jenny Andrus details some of her treatment options for diabetic neuropathic conditions. https://lnkd.in/echrKwC3 In addition, we also offer a revolutionary, FDA-cleared treatment option for diabetic neuropathy called Electric Cell Signaling Treatment (EcST). Click here to watch a video where Dr. Andrus explains what EcST is and how it can help! https://lnkd.in/eKdT2pUv #worlddiabetesday #diabetestreatment #diabetic #diabeticneuropathy #painmanagement #interventionalpainmanagment #chronicpain

【Extensive Bi-Atrial Remodeling on Hypertensive Patient with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation Delayed Diagnosis of Fatal Cardiac Lambda Amyloidosis】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/gdjcdst4 (Authored by Houzéiph Abdou Lassissi, et al., from Centre Hospitalier Nord Mayenne (France), etc.) Amyloidosis is caused by the deposition and accumulation of "amyloid fibrils" in tissues. Cardiac light-chain #amyloidosis is a medical emergency. As echocardiograph findings of cardiac amyloidosis mimic hypertensive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is often delayed. This paper reports a case of an 88-year-old hypertensive female patient with sustained atrial fibrillation and recurrent #heart_failure who was finally diagnosed as the stage 3B cardiac amyloidosis secondary to lambda light chain myeloma, highlighting the importance of an early diagnosis of cardiac light chain amyloidosis. #Monoclonal_Gammopathy  

Cath Lab Digest shares a brief review of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) for myocardial infarction in patients with unobstructed coronary arteries in the latest Clinical Editor's Corner with Dr. Morton Kern. "SCAD occurs because of a separation of the layers of the epicardial coronary artery wall by intramural hemorrhage, with or without an intimal tear," writes Dr. Kern. "SCAD is not associated with atherosclerosis, iatrogenic injury, or trauma. The typical presentation of SCAD is a middle-aged woman with acute coronary syndrome, often ST-elevation MI (STEMI)."

Steve Ramee, New Orleans; Jacqueline Saw, Vancouver, BC; Jon Tobis, Los Angeles; and Barry Uretsky, Little Rock, Arkansas: https://okt.to/WbASVB #Cardiovascular #HealthcareMadePractical
