Article Synopsis
- Calcific aortic stenosis serves as a model for understanding cardiovascular issues in older adults, influenced by multiple factors related to aging.
- Research on transcatheter aortic valve replacement has primarily involved older patients, leading to the recognition of frailty and other geriatric risks as important for better assessing patient conditions.
- The review emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management of aortic stenosis in older adults, advocating for improved patient engagement and identifying key areas for future research.
Article Synopsis
- Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a useful tool for detecting hidden heart problems in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), but its relationship with ischemia in those with myocardial ischemia and no obstructive CAD (INOCA) is less understood.
- A study analyzed GLS in patients with INOCA using stress echocardiography, revealing that the majority had normal GLS values both at enrollment and after one year, but these values did not correlate with stress-induced ischemia.
- The findings suggest that in INOCA patients, normal GLS does not indicate the presence or severity of ischemia, indicating a need for alternative assessment methods for myocardial dysfunction in this group.
Article Synopsis
- Lipoprotein subfractions (LS) can help improve risk assessment for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who aren't considered high-risk, as shown in a study involving 157 patients undergoing coronary angiography.
- The study found that certain lipoprotein markers, such as total and small low-density lipoprotein particles (LDL-P) and apolipoprotein B, were positively associated with the presence and severity of obstructive CAD, while large high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL-P) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) showed an inverse correlation.
- Overall, specific LS measurements were effective indicators of CAD severity and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), even when adjusting for
Article Synopsis
- * Key factors contributing to this disparity include workload demands, lack of resources, organizational culture issues, and disproportionate non-work responsibilities, such as childcare.
- * The authors recommend organizational changes to address these issues, emphasizing the importance of evaluating gender differences in burnout drivers to create effective solutions.
Background: In ISCHEMIA-CKD, 777 patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and chronic coronary disease had similar all-cause mortality with either an initial invasive or conservative strategy (27.2% vs 27.8%, respectively).
