Assessing myocardial viability is crucial for managing ischemic heart disease. While late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for viability evaluation, it has limitations, including contraindications in patients with renal dysfunction and lengthy scan times. This study investigates the potential of non-contrast CMR techniques-feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping-combined with machine learning (ML) models, as an alternative to LGE-CMR for myocardial viability assessment.

Article Synopsis
  • Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a complication linked to negative outcomes after cardiac surgery, and this study examines preoperative hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) as a potential predictor of POCD in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD).
  • Analyzing data from 372 VHD patients, the study found a 27.6% incidence of POCD one month post-surgery, with significant differences in age, education level, Hs-CRP levels, and duration of mechanical ventilation between patients who developed POCD and those who did not.
  • The findings suggest that elevated preoperative Hs-CRP levels are an independent risk factor for POCD,

This case report examines a rare cardiovascular abnormality, the Aberrant Aortic Origin of the Right Coronary Artery (AAORCA), in a 75-year-old patient with a history of myocardial infarction, acute renal injury, and cardiogenic shock. Rapid medical intervention, including coronary angioplasty, demonstrated the significance of prompt care. Chronic issues, including tobacco use and left ventricular dysfunction, complicated matters, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive long- term therapy.

Background: There is little research on cardiorenal anemia syndrome (CRAS) in China. This study was to describe the characteristics of patients with CRAS and to explore risk factors of all-cause death.

Methods: A total of 81,795 patients were hospitalized from August 2012 to August 2021 in the nephrology department and cardiology department, of which 820 patients with CRAS were recruited into this study.

We report a case in which mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was performed on a patient with cerebral infarction and renal failure, and contrast leakage remained on postoperative head computed tomography (CT) scans for more than 24 hours. A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of chronic renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy was admitted to the cardiology department of our hospital with chronic heart failure. During hospitalization, her diabetic nephropathy worsened.
