International Consensus Statement on Platelet Function and Genetic Testing in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: 2024 Update.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv

November 2024

Medizinische Klinik und Poliklinik I, University Hospital Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Germany; Privatklinik Lauterbacher Mühle am Ostsee, Seeshaupt, Germany.

Current evidence indicates that dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin plus a P2Y inhibitor is essential for the prevention of thrombotic events after percutaneous coronary interventions. However, dual antiplatelet therapy is associated with increased bleeding which may outweigh the benefits. This has set the foundations for customizing antiplatelet treatments to the individual patient.

Dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) in sepsis is a complex and early phenomenon with a likely significant contribution to organ failure and patient outcomes. A better understanding of the pathophysiology and intricacies of the RAAS in septic shock has led to the use of exogenous angiotensin II as a new therapeutic agent. In this review, we report a multinational and multi-disciplinary expert panel discussion on the role and implications of RAAS modulation in sepsis and the use of exogenous angiotensin II.

Introduction: The effect of neutropenia and the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in critically ill patients with cancer are controversial, notably in those with lung injury. Neutropenia recovery can be associated with an acute respiratory failure (ARF) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, especially when G-CSF is administered.

Methods: In a single-center retrospective study, we evaluated (1) the effect of neutropenia recovery on the 90-day mortality and (2) the impact of G-CSF use on the outcome of patients with cancer and neutropenia with ARF admitted to the ICU.

Article Synopsis
  • PCSK9 is crucial for regulating LDL-cholesterol and certain variants, like p.Ser127Arg, lead to higher cholesterol levels and are mainly found in France, with few in South Africa and Norway due to a common ancestor effect.
  • The study analyzed 14 p.Ser127Arg carriers from eight families and compared them with other variants to understand their genetic background and health impact.
  • Results indicated that the common ancestor lived about 775 years ago, and carriers of p.Ser127Arg had significantly higher LDL-C levels, suggesting it may have a stronger effect on cholesterol levels compared to other mutations.
