There have been considerable advances in the management of acute coronary syndromes in the recent past. There are three risk scoring systems used for prognosticating these patients. An attempt is made in this article to discuss the pros and cons of the different risk scoring systems and their clinical utility.

The ability of end-tidal carbon dioxide value to predict the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Acta Clin Belg
January 2025
Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, Erzurum, Turkey.
Objectives: In this study, the capacity of End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) levels to predict the risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and the relationship between risk scoring systems (TIMI, GRACE, HEART) and EtCO2 values were examined.
Methods: EtCO2 values of the patients in the study were measured with a capnography device. Each patient's MACE status was recorded.
Genomic Drivers of Coronary Artery Disease and Risk of Future Outcomes After Coronary Angiography.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Disease characteristics of genetically mediated coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary angiography and the association of genomic risk with outcomes after coronary angiography are not well understood.
Objective: To assess the angiographic characteristics and risk of post-coronary angiography outcomes of patients with genomic drivers of CAD: familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), high polygenic risk score (PRS), and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective cohort study of 3518 Mass General Brigham Biobank participants with genomic information who underwent coronary angiography was conducted between July 18, 2000, and August 1, 2023.
Cardiotoxic Effects Following CAR-T Cell Therapy: A Literature Review.
Curr Oncol Rep
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Montefiore Medical Center, 111 East 210Th Street, Bronx, NY, 10461, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This paper reviewed the current literature on incidence, clinical manifestations, and risk factors of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cardiotoxicity.
Recent Findings: CAR-T therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for hematological malignancies since FDA approval in 2017. CAR-T therapy is however associated with a few side effects, among which cardiotoxicity is of significant concern.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting is a vital intervention for neonates with ductal-dependent blood flow, offering an attractive alternative to surgical shunt placement. Despite its benefits, the procedure poses risks such as ductal spasm, branch pulmonary artery compromise, and pseudoaneurysm formation. This report presents two complex neonatal cases with distinct outcomes.
