Objectives/background: Resting coronary blood flow approximates flow with maximal vasodilation in very severe coronary stenosis. We studied the incidence of exhausted vasodilatory reserve by FFR, its clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis after FFR guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing FFR-guided PCI for coronary stenosis with reduced resting blood flow (baseline Pd/Pa < 0.

Objective: This study explored a unique form of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) in which certain acutely ill patients have a first episode of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with a short RP interval.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients at a single institution who developed SVT with short RP and yielded 19 patients.

Results: None of the 19 patients had a prior history of AVNRT or any other arrhythmia.

ST segment changes are well documented in literature during supraventricular tachycardias. We present a case of a 21-year-old male who presents with chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness with an ECG showing atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia and diffuse ST segment depressions. Patient spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm, but he was still complaining of crushing chest pain.

She presented with extensive acral gangrene involving multiple fingers and toes. Clinical picture and laboratory findings were suggestive of vasculitis; however, skin biopsy established diagnosis of calciphylaxis, in settings of normal kidney function.
