While acute coronary syndromes inclusive of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been described in patients with polycythemia vera (PCV), optimal pharmacologic and interventional management strategies in the setting of drastically elevated platelet counts remain unclear.1 To our knowledge this is the first reported case of STEMI with massive thrombus burden in a patient with PCV… View more

Advanced Management Options for Massive and Submassive Pulmonary Embolism
Author(s): Sonika Malik , Anju Bhardwaj , Matthew Eisen , et al Added: 3 years ago
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and serious manifestation of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The incidence is estimated to be 50 per 100,000 but increases to 500 per 100,000 in the elderly.1 There is a wide spectrum of clinical severity with mortality estimates of 1–2 % in stable individuals and up to 30 % in patients presenting… View more

Doctors Proactive in Pre-diagnosis Treatment of Heart Attacks Doctors are treating patients with a suspected heart attack as aggressively as they are patients who have been diagnosed with an attack. Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine analyzed patient data from over 450 hospitals in 12 countries. They compared the treatment received by patients with different levels of… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is characterized by unco-ordinated atrial activation with consequent loss of atrial mechanical function. In developed nations, the number of men and women affected by AF is projected to more than double over the next two decades. Despite major advances in its management, AF remains a significant cause of cardiovascular… View more

Cardiac Imaging for Assessment of Left Ventricular Thrombus
Author(s): Jason Chinitz , Dorinna D Mendoza , Raymond J Kim , et al Added: 3 years ago
Accurate detection of left ventricular (LV) thrombus affects clinical outcomes and therapeutic management, as thrombus provides a substrate for thromboembolic events and a rationale for anticoagulation. Relative risk (RR) for thrombus development is highest among subjects with systolic heart failure or myocardial infarction (MI), reflecting a link between impaired LV blood stasis, pro-coagulant… View more

ACC 22: ICD Shock Therapies and the Burden of Ventricular Tachycardia
Author(s): Paolo Della Bella Added: 2 years ago
In this short interview from ACC.22, Dr Paolo Della Bella (San Raffaele University-Hospital, IT) joins us to discuss the findings of the PARTITA trial (NCT01547208). The aim of this study was to determine whether the burden of ventricular tachycardia correlates with ICD shock therapies and if the timing of VT ablation affects patient prognosis. Discussion Points: Rationale behind this trial … View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): On Topaz Added: 3 years ago
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 vessel and toward shortening the time lag between the presentation of AMI patients to… View more
