Vinorelbin is an important tumouricidal substance. The (cardio-)vascular side effects are not well known. We report on four patients in highly palliative situations who were treated with vinorelbine for non-small cell lung cancer. Case one presented with myocardial infarction eleven days after onset of therapy. The second and third cases had to be admitted immediately after the beginning of vinorelbine treatment because of hypertension and angina pectoris. The fourth case suffered from angina abdominalis. A critical review of the literature showed 17 cardiac ischaemias with seven myocardial infarctions, three of them with lethal outcome.

Unlabelled: Patients with breast cancer (BC) are at high risk of cardiotoxicity (CT) due to combination of anticancer treatment.Cardio-vascular (СV) complications lead to the delay or discontinuation of anticancer therapy, which significantlyworsens the prognosis. Anthracyclines (AC) are the main drugs included in most anticancer treatment regimens.

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life threatening condition with age-related escalation in prevalence. Acute PE is a common and sometimes fatal disease. The approach to the evaluation should be efficient while simultaneously avoiding the risks of unnecessary testing so that therapy can be promptly initiated and potential morbidity and mortality avoided.

Background: Coronary atherosclerosis can lead to acute clinical events upon atherosclerotic plaque rupture (PR) or erosion and arterial thrombus formation. Identifying the effect of distinct plaque characteristics on clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is critical for clinical therapy. Our goal was to ascertain the correlation between clinical outcome, long-term prognosis, and morphological plaque characteristics in STEMI.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the hemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of self-expandable valves (SEV) and balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annulus (SAA) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
- - Results showed that SEV offered better hemodynamics, with a higher rate of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch and a greater mean pressure gradient in patients receiving BEV, while BEV had lower incidences of paravalvular leakage and new permanent pacemaker implantation.
- - Overall, both valve types had similar device success rates, indicating that SEV is superior in hemodynamic outcomes but BEV has advantages in reducing certain complications. *
Trem2/Tyrobp Signaling Protects Against Aortic Dissection and Rupture by Inhibiting Macrophage Activation in Mice.

Background: The development of aortic dissection (AD) is closely associated with inflammation. The Trem2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2)/Tyrobp (TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein) signaling pathway critically regulates innate immunity and has emerged as an important target in cardiovascular diseases; however, its role in AD remains unclear.
Methods: Transcriptome data from human and mouse ADs were used to perform differentially expressed gene-based protein-protein interaction network analyses.
