Article Synopsis
- The ACT assay monitors anticoagulation therapy with unfractionated heparin during PCI, raising concerns about differences in ACT values from different arterial sites.
- A study measured simultaneous ACT values from both the access sheath and guide catheter in patients, revealing that guide catheter values were significantly higher on average.
- The findings suggest that the increased ACT from the guide catheter could be influenced by factors like heparin dosage and diabetes status, indicating a need for further research on its biological basis and implications for clinical practice.
Hypertension is a complex syndrome that increases the risk of developing other medical comorbidities and interacts with other medical conditions to increase the risk of target end-organ damage such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and renal disease. Hypertension remains under-recognized and poorly controlled in the USA and worldwide. In some patients, hypertension is resistant to optimal medical therapy.
