Panoramic Nailfold Flow Velocity Measurement Method Based on Enhanced Plasma Gap Information.

J Imaging Inform Med

State Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome/Health Construction Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, 510120, China.

Nailfold microcirculation examination is crucial for the early differential diagnosis of diseases and indicating their severity. In particular, panoramic nailfold flow velocity measurements can provide direct quantitative indicators for the study of vascular diseases and technical support to assess vascular health. Previously, nailfold imaging equipment was limited by a small field of view.

Article Synopsis
  • Utilization of cangrelor as a bridging therapy to cardiac surgery has been noted for stent placement, but less so for endovascular revascularization.
  • The case involves a 47-year-old female with a significant arterial dissection requiring a Viabahn endoprosthesis and subsequent cardiac procedures.
  • A combination of cangrelor, aspirin, and bivalirudin was employed to manage the patient’s coronary disease and ensure the effectiveness of the surgical intervention, showcasing a multi-disciplinary approach in complex cases.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the preferred treatment for complex multi-vessel coronary artery disease, offering substantial long-term benefits. Non-cardiac comorbidities such as frailty may significantly affect the outcomes of this procedure. However, the exact impact of frailty on CABG outcomes remains unclear, particularly given its exclusion from many pivotal revascularization trials.

Background: Coronary physiology to guide multi-vessel coronary intervention is associated with better outcome. In the presence of a coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), hemodynamic evaluation of intermediate lesions in the donor coronary artery supplying a CTO territory still has limitations. We aim to evaluate implementing quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in assessing angiographically intermediate lesions of the main donor coronary artery supplying a CTO territory.

Article Synopsis
  • Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is commonly found in patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but its effect on coronary artery severity hasn't been thoroughly studied.
  • A study of 199 AMI patients showed that 68.3% had MetS, with those having multiple components showing a higher median Gensini score, indicating more severe coronary artery disease.
  • The study concluded that MetS, particularly elevated waist circumference and blood glucose levels, are linked to increased severity of coronary artery disease in AMI patients.
