Article Synopsis
- * There aren't many studies looking into how to monitor blood pressure for these new conditions after pregnancy, so this review aimed to compare telehealth (like video calls) to regular doctor visits.
- * The research showed that using telehealth helped catch high blood pressure sooner, reduced hospital returns, made it easier for moms to get treated, and overall made patients happier.
Article Synopsis
- Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic medication effective for treating schizophrenia, but there are concerns about its potential cardiovascular risks, particularly cardiomyopathy.
- Recent studies suggest this condition may arise from olanzapine-related metabolic disturbances like weight gain and insulin resistance, alongside receptor antagonism that causes cardiovascular stress.
- The review emphasizes the importance of monitoring patients for heart failure symptoms, recommending early detection, withdrawal of olanzapine, and appropriate medical treatment to improve outcomes.*
Background: The incremental use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement will inexorably lead to structural valve deterioration and the need for both a second and third valvular interventions, raising the question of feasibility.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 76-year-old man that presented with cardiogenic shock refractory to inotropic support. His workup revealed severe bioprosthetic aortic regurgitation 5 years after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation.
