Futile recanalization hampers prognoses for ischemic stroke patients despite successful recanalization therapy. Allegedly, hypertension and reperfusion deficits contribute, but a better understanding is needed of how they interact and mediate disease outcome. We reassessed data from spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (male, n = 6-7/group) that were subjected to two-hour embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion and thrombolysis in preclinical trials.

Background: Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe placement of a vent cannula via the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a useful bailout option.

Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mammalian target of rapamycin complexes 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2) play opposing roles in protecting against I/R injury, whereby mTORC1 appears to be detrimental while mTORC2 is protective. However, the role of HDL and mTORC signaling in protecting against I/R in hypertensive rodents is not clearly understood.

This article reports the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with a saddle pulmonary embolus complicated by normotensive cardiogenic shock. The patient was first stabilized with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Then, while the patient was still on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, thrombectomy with a large-bore catheter device was performed that resulted in a large decrease in pulmonary artery pressures and a clinically significant increase in cardiac index, with rapid clinical improvement.

Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Increase the Risk for Myocardial Infarction: A Population-Based Study.

Background: Angiographic evidence of the anatomy of coronary arteries and the type of coronary artery lesions in women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are poorly documented.

Objectives: This study sought to determine the role of a history of HDP as a unique risk factor for early coronary artery disease (CAD) and type of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (ie, atherosclerotic vs myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries [MINOCA]) in women who underwent coronary angiography.

Methods: This study used a population-based cohort of parous female patients with incident CAD who underwent coronary angiography and age-matched control subjects.
