How to recognise and manage idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (nhịp nhanh thất)
This document summarizes common forms of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. It discusses how right ventricular outflow tract VT and left ventricular outflow tract VT are the most common forms, often presenting as nonsustained, repetitive monomorphic VT in younger patients. Treatment may include medications like beta-blockers or verapamil, but catheter ablation has over a 90% success rate. Distinguishing idiopathic VT from other conditions is important as treatment differs. The prognosis is generally excellent for idiopathic VT patients.

This document discusses periodontal treatment considerations for medically compromised patients with bleeding disorders or who take anticoagulant medications. Key points include checking patients' medical histories and bleeding risks, performing examinations to check for signs of bleeding problems, consulting physicians as needed, and using conservative non-surgical treatments or minor surgical procedures only when a patients' coagulation levels are within an acceptable range to reduce bleeding risks. For patients taking anticoagulants, the drugs may need to be temporarily discontinued before certain periodontal procedures while closely monitoring coagulation levels. Removing infected teeth is also important before renal transplantation to reduce infection risks.
Dissection_Novel Killer
Acute aortic syndrome, which includes aortic dissection, is a silent killer that is often misdiagnosed due to its variable presentation and difficulty detecting by exam alone. It has a high mortality rate of about 1-2% per hour for the first 48 hours if left untreated. While most common in males over age 60 with hypertension, it can affect anyone and requires a high index of suspicion. For type A dissections, surgery is usually required while type B can be treated medically or with newer endovascular techniques which are less invasive than open surgery. Proper patient selection and anatomy are important considerations for endovascular treatment which aims to seal the dissection flap and promote positive aortic remodeling.
Alcoholic septal ablation
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by a thickened left ventricular wall without an identifiable cause. It can range from asymptomatic to causing heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death. Treatment depends on whether the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) is obstructed. For symptomatic patients with LVOT obstruction despite maximum medical therapy, septal reduction procedures like alcohol septal ablation or surgical myectomy are recommended. Alcohol septal ablation involves injecting alcohol into a septal perforator artery to ablate tissue and reduce the gradient. Surgical myectomy directly resects septal muscle. Both procedures significantly reduce gradients and improve symptoms but surgical myectomy provides better gradient and symptom reduction with a lower risk of

This document discusses cardiac arrhythmias and their management during acute myocardial infarction. It covers tachyarrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia as well as bradyarrhythmias including different types of atrioventricular block. It provides details on the mechanisms, risk factors, diagnosis and management of these arrhythmias with a focus on preventing complications through prompt treatment of underlying issues and use of drugs like beta blockers, amiodarone and pacemakers if needed.
Perioperative bleeding and Hemostasis
This document discusses perioperative bleeding and homeostasis. It begins with defining bleeding and describing different types. It then covers preoperative bleeding risk assessment, including medication and bleeding history, physical exam, and tools to evaluate risk. Methods of achieving homeostasis during and after surgery are outlined, including mechanical, thermal, pharmacological, and TEG monitoring. Predictors of postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery and guidelines for assessing bleeding risk from British and European societies are presented.
Introduction to Ischemic Heart Disease Surgery
The document discusses coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), including its history, evidence supporting its use, planning and techniques. It notes that CABG has been shown to be superior to angioplasty and stenting for many patients in large randomized trials. Planning involves tests to assess patient and coronary anatomy. Arterial and venous grafts can be used. Techniques have evolved from conventional open surgery to minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches. The hybrid operating room allows combination with angioplasty procedures. Overall, CABG remains an important treatment for coronary artery disease.
Aortic Dissection
1) A 38-year old hypertensive smoker presented with severe central chest pain and was diagnosed with acute aortic dissection.
2) Aortic dissection occurs when a tear in the inner layer of the aorta allows blood to enter and force the layers apart, creating a false lumen. If untreated, mortality is as high as 50% within a week.
3) Diagnosis is made through imaging like CT, MRI, TTE or TEE which can detect the intimal flap separating the true and false lumens. Management involves controlling blood pressure, heart rate and pain to prevent progression while emergent surgery is needed for Type A dissections involving the ascending aorta.

Aortic dissection Nightmare
1) Aortic dissection is a tear in the inner layer of the aorta that allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, creating a false passageway. It was first documented in King George II of England in 1760.
2) Symptoms include a sudden, severe chest pain that can radiate to the back. Diagnosis is often challenging, but can be made through imaging like CT, MRI, or TEE ultrasound.
3) Type A dissections involving the ascending aorta require emergency surgery, while Type B dissections of the descending aorta can sometimes be treated medically to reduce blood pressure. Without treatment, mortality is high within the first few weeks.
Anes Vascular
This document discusses several topics related to vascular surgery:
1) Aorto-occlusive disease causes inadequate blood flow to organs and extremities. Myocardial dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity after vascular surgery.
2) Patients undergoing procedures like abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are at high risk of cardiac complications due to comorbidities like heart disease.
3) Carotid endarterectomy requires careful management to balance cerebral perfusion and cardiac stress during surgery.
NO REFLOW
The document defines no-reflow as inadequate myocardial perfusion through a coronary circulation segment without mechanical vessel obstruction. No-reflow occurs in 30% of patients after reperfusion for myocardial infarction and is associated with worse outcomes. It results from microvascular obstruction from distal embolization, ischemic injury, and reperfusion injury. Diagnosis involves assessing TIMI flow, myocardial blush grade, and imaging techniques. Prevention focuses on reducing embolization using thrombectomy or filters while treatment involves vasodilators like adenosine, verapamil, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
Post operative management
Vascular surgery patients are at high risk for postoperative complications due to complex surgeries and preexisting health issues. The safest environment is determined by medical comorbidities, surgery risks, and ability to maintain homeostasis. High-risk patients are admitted to the ICU or step-down unit. Hemodynamic monitoring guides resuscitation through indicators like blood pressure, CVP, urine output, and lactate levels. Central lines and arterial lines are used for monitoring and access but carry risks if improperly placed. Postoperative complications include hypertension, hypotension, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary issues treated through medication, pacing, or ventilation.
Arrythmogenic rv dysplasia (ARVD)
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/ARVC) is a genetic heart condition characterized by structural abnormalities and fatty infiltration of the right ventricle, leading to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It is a common cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Clinical features include palpitations, syncope, chest pain, and dyspnea. Diagnosis relies on a combination of ECG findings, echocardiogram abnormalities of the right ventricle, and genetic testing.
Assessment of Aortic Regurgitation with Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
This document discusses the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess aortic regurgitation in a 43-year-old male patient. CMR showed a dilated left ventricle with impaired function, a bicuspid aortic valve, and severe aortic regurgitation based on quantified regurgitant volume and fraction as well as halodiastolic flow reversal in the descending aorta. Guidelines support using CMR when echocardiography is inconclusive or has poor image quality. CMR provides accurate assessment of ventricular volumes, valve structure, aortic dimensions, and regurgitation severity to guide management, in this case recommending the patient for surgery.

Congenital heart disease
The document discusses congenital heart disease (CHD), including its classification into cyanotic and acyanotic types based on blood flow direction and presence of shunts or obstructions. Common acyanotic defects are atrial and ventricular septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus, which allow left-to-right shunting. Cyanotic CHDs include tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great vessels, characterized by right-to-left shunting and cyanosis. Obstructive lesions such as aortic coarctation can also occur. The etiology involves both genetic and environmental factors, and clinical severity depends on the degree of stenosis and patency of ductal structures.
HCM – Presentation, Hemodynamics and Intervention
This document describes a case of a 50-year-old female presenting with symptoms of breathlessness, angina, and presyncope. Echocardiography revealed asymmetric septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, consistent with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The document then provides detailed background information on HOCM, including definitions, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, and treatment options such as beta-blockers, septal ablation, and disqualification from competitive sports in severe cases.
Valvular heart surgery
Valvular heart disease is often caused by rheumatic heart disease resulting from childhood throat infections. Valve surgeries can be performed through conventional open heart surgery or through minimally invasive techniques using smaller incisions. Dr. S.K. Sinha specializes in minimally invasive valve surgeries at Max Hospital in Delhi, India. Prosthetic heart valves are either mechanical, made from durable pyrolitic carbon and requiring lifelong blood thinners, or bioprosthetic tissue valves lasting 20-25 years without blood thinners. Post-surgery care includes preventing infections, maintaining oral hygiene, and treating infections promptly.
Acute aortic dissection
This document discusses acute aortic syndrome, including a case presentation of a 55-year-old female with chest pain. Key details include:
1. The patient presented with sudden onset chest pain and was found to have hypertension on examination.
2. Initial workup including ECG, labs and chest x-ray were non-diagnostic but showed a widened mediastinum.
3. Echocardiogram and CT angiogram revealed an aortic dissection involving the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta.
4. She was referred urgently for cardiovascular surgery to treat this life-threatening condition within 24 hours of presentation.
Acute aortic syndromes
This document discusses acute aortic syndrome (AAS), which includes acute aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. AAS is caused by disruption of the aortic wall layers from tears or ulcers, allowing blood to track within the layers. The most common type is aortic dissection, where blood passes through a tear separating the vessel layers. Presenting symptoms typically include sudden severe chest or back pain. Diagnosis involves imaging like CECT, MRI, or TEE to identify abnormalities. Prognosis depends on factors like involvement of the ascending aorta and complications. Classification systems differentiate type A dissections involving the ascending aorta from type B.
Cardiac transplantation
Heart transplantation involves surgically removing a failing heart and replacing it with a donor heart. Some key events and indications for heart transplantation include:
- The first human heart transplant was performed in 1967.
- Survival rates after heart transplantation are around 69% after 5 years.
- Indications for heart transplantation include stage D heart failure, peak VO2 levels below certain thresholds, and refractory arrhythmias or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
- Contraindications include life expectancy under 2 years from other illnesses, irreversible organ dysfunction, and uncontrolled infections or malignancies.

This document presents a case of a 55-year-old man with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and prior stroke who was transferred for endovascular aortic repair after a motor vehicle accident caused multiple injuries including head trauma, chest trauma, cardiac contusion, aortic injury, and bone fractures. On examination, he was intubated and sedated. Imaging showed aortic pseudoaneurysm, lung effusions, and subcutaneous emphysema. The document then reviews aortic dissection including types, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and involvement of the ascending versus descending aorta.
treatment of hypertrophy cardiomyopathy
This document discusses surgical and non-surgical invasive therapies for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Surgical septal myectomy has a high success rate of 90-95% and provides immediate relief of obstruction and mitral regurgitation with minimal risks. However, it can cause ventricular septal defects or heart block. Alcohol septal ablation avoids surgery but has risks of death, coronary dissection, or heart block. Both procedures aim to treat outflow tract obstruction in HCM.
Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration
This document discusses a case of a 76-year-old female patient who underwent bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement in 2007 and is now experiencing fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, and dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography showed thickened aortic valve cusps, increased transvalvular gradients, and reduced effective orifice area compared to her post-op echocardiogram, indicating potential bioprosthetic valve degeneration. Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed degeneration of the bioprosthetic valve with fixed cusps and reduced valve area. The patient was referred for redo surgery. The document also reviews the use of echocardiography to evaluate prost
Haemorrhage Control in Trauma
Dr. Duncan Redmill discusses advances in trauma care focusing on haemorrhage control. He notes that haemorrhage accounts for 30-40% of trauma deaths within 6 hours and can be prevented through early recognition and rapid control of blood loss. The case report describes a 62-year-old pedestrian hit by a car doing 40mph who was found to have a complex liver laceration and haemoperitoneum causing massive haemorrhage. Modern trauma care focuses on damage control resuscitation to manage bleeding and coagulopathy as early as possible through techniques like tourniquet use, permissive hypotension, massive transfusion protocols, and adjuncts to replace clotting factors.
Cardiac transplant
This document provides an overview of cardiac transplantation, including indications, donor and recipient evaluation, surgical techniques, postoperative management, complications, and long-term management. Key points include the scarcity of donor hearts compared to patients on the transplant waitlist, criteria for donor and recipient selection, the importance of minimizing ischemic time during transplantation, and lifelong immunosuppression required after transplantation to prevent rejection.

A pregnant women with valvular heart disease
This document presents the case of a 28-year-old pregnant woman with known but uninvestigated valvular heart disease. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation with mild mitral stenosis and mild aortic regurgitation. Close monitoring during pregnancy showed the condition was well tolerated without treatment. A multidisciplinary team recommended vaginal delivery with monitoring due to the risks of cardiac surgery during pregnancy. Delivery was successful at term with a healthy baby. The key messages were that regurgitant valve disease can be tolerated in pregnancy if left ventricular function is normal, cardiac surgery should be avoided, and multidisciplinary management including delivery planning is important.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
