Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 7576 patients with chronic coronary syndromes to explore the connection between resting coronary flow velocity (CFV) and CFV reserve (CFVR) and their impact on mortality.
- Researchers found that a resting CFV of 32 cm/s or higher and a CFVR of 2.0 or lower were significant indicators of increased mortality risk.
- The findings suggest that high resting CFV and low CFVR together contribute to a worse survival rate among patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Impact of Complete Revascularization on Development of Heart Failure in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Multivessel Disease: A Subanalysis of the CORALYS Registry.

Background The impact of complete revascularization (CR) on the development of heart failure (HF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention remains to be elucidated. Methods and Results Consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome with multivessel coronary artery disease from the CORALYS (Incidence and Predictors of Heart Failure After Acute Coronary Syndrome) registry were included. Incidence of first hospitalization for HF or cardiovascular death was the primary end point.

Vertebroplasty consists of injection under image guidance of a cement polymer, commonly polymethylmethacrylate, into the vertebral body to improved stability. Vertebroplasty is essentially safety. However whether vertebral compression or (micro)fractures occur during the procedure, the high vascularization and the anatomic network of the paravertebral and extradural venous plexuses, can facilitate migration of cement fragments into the systemic venous circulation.

Literature presents several examples of surgical techniques for the treatment of carpometacarpal osteoarthritis. In our study we used a modified Ceruso's suspended arthroplasty technique. In this study, 53 patients from 2011 to 2017 underwent arthroplasty with trapezius excision and suture suspension between abductor and flexor .

- Ticagrelor is effective in reducing ischemic risk but increases bleeding risk in patients with a history of myocardial infarction, making patient selection crucial for optimal outcomes.
- The PEGASUS-TIMI 54 study randomized over 21,000 patients to receive either ticagrelor (60 mg or 90 mg) or a placebo, finding that ticagrelor 60 mg significantly raised the bleeding incidence, mainly due to spontaneous gastrointestinal bleeds.
- Key predictors of increased bleeding risk included a history of spontaneous bleeding that required hospitalization and anemia; patients without these risks tended to benefit more from ticagrelor treatment, showing lower mortality rates compared to those on placebo.
Background The pericoronary fat attenuation index (pFAI) has emerged as a marker of coronary inflammation, which is measurable from standard coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). It compares well with gold-standard methods for the assessment of coronary inflammation and can predict future cardiovascular events. pFAI could prove invaluable to differentiate an inflammatory from a noninflammatory coronary artery status, helping unravel the mechanisms subtending an event classified as myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) or Tako-Tsubo syndrome (TTS).

Each case involves a female patient who presented symptoms and an electrocardiogram compatible with acute coronary syndrome, mild troponin I elevation, a ventriculogram showing left ventricle (LV) apical or midventricular ballooning (classical or variant TTC), an angiogram showing at least one >or=50% stenosis and a cardiac magnetic resonance showing no myocardial late Gadolinium enhancement. Full recovery of normal LV contractility after the event was required to confirm TTC.
