Background: Patients with anemia show a negative outcome in percutaneous coronary intervention, transcatheter aortic valve replacement and cardiac surgery. The impact of anemia on periprocedural major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and mortality in patients undergoing treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) with percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system is not known.
Objective: To assess whether percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system is safe and effective in patients with anemia.

The physiological role of myoglobin (Mb) within the heart depends on its oxygenation state. The myocardium exhibits a broad oxygen partial pressure (pO2) spectrum with a transmural gradient from the epicardial to the subendocardial layer, ranging from arterial values to an average of 19.3 mm Hg down to 0 mm Hg.

Early identification of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and forceful implementation of standardized therapy algorithms are the mandatory basis of an effective therapy to improve patient outcome. Recently, a new definition of ARDS was implemented, which simplified the diagnostic criteria for ARDS. Evidence-based therapies are rare, but some cornerstone interventions can be recommended.

Increasing age involves a number of detrimental changes in the cardiovascular system and particularly on the large arteries. It deteriorates vascular integrity and leads to increased vascular stiffness entailing hypertension with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The consequences of continuous oxidative stress and damages to biomolecules include altered gene expression, genomic instability, mutations, loss of cell division and cellular responses to increased stress.

Hypoxic vasodilation represents a key physiological response of the cardiovascular system to low tissue oxygen tension, adjusting local blood flow to meet the metabolic requirements in tissue. Vasodilation occurs by nitric oxide (NO) activation of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells. Under normoxia, NO is formed by the well-known endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) system while under hypoxia NO is generated from nitrite.

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease have improved in recent years. Most patients can return to their everyday routine a few days after a successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). How should patients be followed up after the successful implantation of a coronary stent?
Method: Selective review of the pertinent literature, including current practice guidelines and recommendations.
