The last three years have seen the application of percutaneous excimer laser atherectomy in patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction (AMI) gaining momentum. Current efforts in the US are concentrated toward identification of the best technologies for efficacious restoration of flow in the infarct-related vessel1 and toward shortening the time lag between the presentation of AMI patients to… View more

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a public health problem of immense magnitude, afflicting an estimated 300,000 persons per year in the US.1 SCD, defined as death occurring within one hour from symptom-onset, is associated with ischemic heart disease in 80% of cases. Approximately one-third of cases are the result of an acute occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery.2 Some 50% of the mortality… View more

EP 103: CCS-AMI: New Classification for Acute Myocardial Infarction with Dr Kumar
Author(s): Ankur Kalra , Andreas Kumar Added: 5 months ago
On October 28th, 2023, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) released a new classification system for acute atherothrombotic myocardial infarction (MI) based on stages of tissue injury severity (CCS-AMI). This expert consensus is the result of decades of data on acute MI with reperfusion therapy. Dr Ankur Kalra is joined this week on Parallax by Dr Andreas Kumar, Chairperson of the Writing… View more

TCT 23: PICSO-AMI-I: Pressure Controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Author(s): Giovanni Luigi Di Maria Added: 5 months ago
TCT 23 - We are joined by Dr Giovanni Luigi Di Maria (John Radcliffe Hospital, UK) to discuss the findings of the PICSO-AMI-I study (NCT04958421), sponsored by Miracor Medical. The PICSO-AMI-I study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PiCSO) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), presenting with TIMI 0 or 1… View more

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death among adults and one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits across the US. There are approximately five to seven million ED visits for acute chest pain syndromes annually; however, only 5% of these patients are ultimately diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and an additional 10% have non-AMI acute coronary… View more

Abstract The introduction of novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays has made it possible to measure cardiac troponin levels that are up to 10-fold lower than those detectable by conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. With such novel assays, an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was noted across the continuum of cTn levels, with an incremental risk of… View more

Role of High-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin in Acute Coronary Syndrome
Author(s): Mahesh Anantha Narayanan , Santiago Garcia Added: 3 years ago
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for an emergency room (ER) visit in the US with almost 6 million ER visits annually.1 According to the fourth universal definition of MI, acute MI (AMI) requires a rise and/or fall in cardiac troponin (cTn) with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit.2,3 Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are the… View more
