The intent of this presentation is to provide an update of coronary assessment and management for the adult intensivist. Discussion points will include:
1. An assessment of coronary severity, using established methods, in particular fractional flow reserve (FFR),
2. Which stent- highlight the evolution of the stent to the current generation and what is evolving,
3. How to keep the stent open with current concepts of antiplatelet therapy and how this impacts the critically ill patient
4. What to consider if the ECG is abnormal, but the coronaries are not flow limiting obstruction- an occasional dilemma in the critically ill patient and finally
5. Discussion around a contemporary study regarding cardiogenic shock and coronary ischemia.

Current concept in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients wi...Ramachandra Barik
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem with a prevalence of 1%-2% in developed countries. The underlying pathophysiology of HF is complex and as a clinical syndrome is characterized by various symptoms and signs. HF is classified according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and falls into three groups: LVEF ≥ 50% - HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), LVEF < 40% - HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), LVEF 40%-49% - HF with mid-range ejection fraction. Diagnosing HF is primarily a clinical approach and it is based on anamnesis, physical examination, echocardiogram, radiological findings of the heart and lungs and laboratory tests, including a specific markers of HF - brain natriuretic peptide or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as well as other diagnostic tests in order to elucidate possible etiologies. Updated diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF have been recommended (H2FPEF, HFA-PEFF). New therapeutic options improve clinical outcomes as well as functional status in patients with HFrEF (e.g., sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 - SGLT2 inhibitors) and such progress in treatment of HFrEF patients resulted in new working definition of the term “HF with recovered left ventricular ejection fraction”. In line with rapid development of HF treatment, cardiac rehabilitation becomes an increasingly important part of overall approach to patients with chronic HF for it has been proven that exercise training can relieve symptoms, improve exercise capacity and quality of life as well as reduce disability and hospitalization rates. We gave an overview of latest insights in HF diagnosis and treatment with special emphasize on the important role of cardiac rehabilitation in such patients.
Surgical repair of patent ductus arteriosus history timelineRamachandra Barik
Congenital cardiac surgery is one of the most challenging and fascinating branches of modern medicine which continues to
advance in areas and improving outcomes, post-operative and pre-operative care.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus was the first congenital heart lesion to be successfully corrected surgically. The landmark surgery was
performed by Dr. Robert E. Gross in 1938 and opened up the possibility of subsequent surgical correction of various other lesions,
which were considered to be untreatable previously. The first successful surgical closure of persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
was preceded by years of work and contributed by various surgeons, physicians, and anatomists, dating all the way back to
the 1st century. They are all worthy of recognition and praise.
This article covers the important events related to PDA lesions including its first identification, followed by its description
in various texts and sources over the course of time, failed attempts at surgical correction, and disputes regarding credits.
These contributions to the branch cannot be overstated and serves as an inspiration to cardiac surgeons all over the world
and to students, interns, and newly graduated doctors as well, who would one day like to be part of this fascinating branch.
Acute type A dissection, is on of the highest mortality cases in cardiovascular surgery. It doubled it incident with concomitant complication such as malperfusion or pericardial tamponade. In this presentation, the patient have both coronary malperfusion and pericardial tamponade
The 10 commandments of prosthetic valve - ESC 2014
1. Mechanical heart valve- life-long OA. Antiplatelet medications does not provide adequate protection against thromboembolic risk. The combination of low-dose aspirin and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is recommended for all patients with mechanical valve prostheses by the ACC)/AHA & selective aspirin – ACCP/ESC/EACTS .
2. Bioprosthetic - avoid the need for life-long anticoagulation.
3.INR- 2.5 for aortic without additional risk factors for thromboembolism (e.g., Afib, prior thromboembolism, left ventricular dysfunction, and hypercoagulable states). INR range of 3.0 (or 3.5) for mitral and any aortic valve prosthesis associated with thromboembolic risk factors.
4. INR variability - increased mortality . INR variability is dictated by genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2C9, genotyping of patients treated with VKA is not currently recommended.
5. INR (>6.0) but no severe bleeding, management includes transient withdrawal of the OA and administration of oral vitamin K according to the actual and target INR values. Patients with severe bleeding should be treated with immediate anticoagulant reversal (usually prothrombin concentrates or fresh frozen plasma) and vitamin K.
6. PTCA- 3-6 months of triple antithrombotic therapy (VKA, aspirin, and a P2Y12 inhibitor) are recommended. The combination of clopidogrel and VKA without aspirin should be considered because it may decrease the risk of bleeding without a significantly increased risk of thromboembolism.
7.DOA (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban) –NOT to use
8. Thromboembolism risk x10 s higher in the first month following valve replacement surgery. Use of heparin 12-24 hours following surgery is recommended. Use of either UFH or LMWH is reasonable. Use of low-dose aspirin can lower the thromboembolic risk while increasing the bleeding risk postoperatively. Anticoagulation with VKA is recommended for the first 3 months in most patients receiving a bioprosthetic valve. ESC/EACTS/ ACCP - aspirin therapy in the first 3 months following a bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement. ACC/AHA/ACCP aspirin beyond 3 months in all patients with bioprosthetic valves.
9. Noncardiac surgery- can often be performed safely without interruption of VKA therapy if they are at low risk for bleeding (e.g., dental care, ophthalmologic and demographic surgery, many gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures). Major surgery- INR should be <1.5 and heparin bridging is advised for high-risk patients only (mitral valve prostheses or patients with aortic valve prostheses and thromboembolic risk factors). Heparin bridging is not required for aortic valve prostheses without thromboembolic risk factors. Use of either UFH or LMWH is reasonable when bridging is indicated.
10. TAVR- indefinite low-dose aspirin long-term and aspirin plus clopidogrel (or another thienopyridine) for the first 1-3 months.

Large eustachian valve fostering paradoxical thromboembolismRamachandra Barik
Catheter-based closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is more effective than medical therapy in the prevention of recurrent stroke[1]. It is likely that a proportion of patients evaluated for potential transcatheter PFO closure has actually different anatomical variants particularly common in the right atrium such as eustachian valve, Chiari network, Thebesian valve and Crista Terminalis. Notably, the eustachian valve may represent an increased risk factor for left circulation thromboembolism beyond that associated with PFO size and shunting. Such patients may benefit the most from percutaneous closure procedure.

A novel stenting technique for coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) is presented. With the help of a guide extension-assisted technique using a GuideLiner mounted on both guidewires in the branches of the bifurcation lesion and advanced to the carina of the bifurcation, a stent can be implanted at the most possible appropriate site of the side branch in side-branch mono-ostial (medina 0, 0, 1) or in the distal mono-ostial (medina 0, 1, 0) in non-true CBLs. The technique can also be used to stent the side branch in two-stent techniques for complex true CBLs (tri-ostial or medina 1, 1, 1).

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. THE REQUEST
CORONARY FLOW FOR THE CRITICALLY ILL-
15 MINUTES
• Update for mostly adult intensivists
• Overview of coronary angiogram and interventions- how to identify a significant
lesion, evidence for various interventions (plasty vs bare metal stent vs DES),
• recent advances, etc.
• relevant for an ICU audience.
4. AIMED AT THE INTENSIVIST
1. Identification of the lesion- what to do about it in the ICU
2. Which stent
3. How to keep the stent open
4. Culprit Shock
5. When you suspect ischemia and the coronaries don’t have flow limiting in the sick patient (ruptured plaque, spasm,
takosubo)
6. Not discuss inotropy in ischemic heart disease (levosimendan)
7. Coronaries after cardiac arrest (Will be discussed later in the meeting)
8. Not about IABP
5. IDENTIFICATION OF THE LESION
• CORONARY ANGIOGRAM
• Why do a Coronary Angiogram?
• Symptoms in the conscious patient- then risk stratification
• Changing in the era of CT coronary Angiography
12. FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE
• Measuring coronary blood flow and pressure provides unique information that
complements the angiographic evaluation and facilitates decision-making
regarding therapy.
16. Started the evolution of
opening occluded vessels with
a balloon
Problems of acute stent
closure (arterial recoil)
Dissection
Repeat revascularization
high
17. Resolved issues of arterial recoil
Dissection still present but less
frequent
BUT
Restenosis due to neointimal
proliferation
Repeat revascularization risk
remained high due to restenosis
18. Developed to deal with the high
restenosis rate of BMS
Highly successful but
identified the problems of
Instent thrombosis
Lack of vessel endothelialisation
promoted thrombus formation
Emphasized the importance of
Dual antiplatelet therapy
19. SECOND GENERATION DES
• Promoted Evolution of second generation DES
• Better stent profile
• Different drug on the scaffold
• Resulted in significantly less stent thrombosis
• Outcome Profiles are better than BMS
• However DAPT has simultaneously evolved likely contributing to better
outcomes
20. SHOULD A DES OR BMS BE USED?
• NORSTENT 2016
Everolimus- or Zotarolimus-eluting stents (second generation)
• definite stent thrombosis DES 0.8% and BMS 1.2%
22. OTHER OPTIONS
• Drug Eluting Balloon
• esp when duration of DAPT should be limited
• Bioresorbable Vascular scaffold
• Considered to be the holy grail
• Scaffold essentially dissolves with time leaving only native vessel
• Outcomes have not been as good as second generation DES, so work has yet to be done, if
at all
23. HOW TO KEEP THE STENT OPEN
• Once a stent is deployed- risk of instent thrombosis exists.
• This risk is reduced with dual antiplatelet agents (DAPT)
• Each agent works by a different pathway resulting in greater effect compared to using
either agent alone.
24. DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY
• Aspirin- still cornerstone of antiplatelet therapy
• Once upon a time- IV glycoprotein 2b3a inhibitors
• Still used when thrombus burden is high
• Evolution ADP Inhibitors
26. From: 2017 ESC focused update on dual antiplatelet therapy in coronary artery disease developed in

27. DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY
CAN I STOP IT??!!
Bleeding vs Clotting
• Life threatening bleeding- no real discussion
All other situations:
• Currently there is no prescriptive risk calculator or algorithm that guides the clinician
• I am never comfortable stopping DAPT less than 6 months for DES
• But often it needs to be done

30. CULPRIT-SHOCK
• Largest contemporary study of Cardiogenic shock
• 706 patients in cardiogenic shock- ischemic
• Culprit vessel PCI had better outcome then multivessel PCI in shock (opposite to
non shock patients)
• Fascinating study just to look at Cardiogenic shock in contemporary modern day
practice (age up to 90) with current optimal medical therapy
• Depressing reading
31. CULPRIT-SHOCK
• Approximately 80% of the patients were ventilated and approx 90% were on
catecholamines
• EF 30% (similar to SHOCK)
• 28% used mechanical circulatory support… …
• Of this
• 26% IABP (compared to 86% in SHOCK 1999)
• 23% ECMO
• 43% used Impella 2.5 or CP (12% of the study popn)
• 47% mortality at 30 days despite all efforts (compared to 51% in SHOCK)
33. SUMMARY
• CVS intervention continues to evolve
• Complexities of PCI and DAPT therapy in the ICU remains complex
and relatively evidence free
• Cardiogenic Shock associated with myocardial ischemia remains
high despite progress

Measuring coronary blood flow and pressure provides unique information that com- plements the angiographic evaluation and facilitates decision-making regarding therapy. Coronary pressure and flow relationships can identify the ischemic potential of a stenosis For translesional pressure (FFR) measurements, the wire pressure is first matched to the guide catheter pressure in the central aortic location, and then the wire is advanced into the artery beyond the stenosis. Baseline pressure is recorded, followed by induction of coronary hyperemia with IC or IV adenosine, continuously recording both guide catheter and sensor-wire pressures. FFR is computed Pressuredistal/ Pressureaorta at maximal hyperemia. Pressuredistal is recorded from the pressure wire, Pressureaorta is recorded from the guide catheter that delivers the pressure wire. Pressure signal artifacts may be reduced by careful attention to technique.
Theoretical framework by which second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) might decrease the risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiovascular death in comparison to bare-metal stents, even though rst-generation DESs did not. (From Bhatt DL. Examination of new drug-eluting stents—top of the class! Lancet 2012;380:1453.)
Figure 3 Algorithm for DAPT in patients with coronary artery disease. ACS = acute coronary syndrome, BMS = bare-metal stent; BRS = bioresorbable vascular scaffold; CABG = Coronary artery bypass graft; DCB = drug-coated balloon; DES: drug-eluting stent; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; Stable CAD = stable coronary artery disease.
High bleeding risk is considered as an increased risk of spontaneous bleeding during DAPT (e.g. PRECISE-DAPT score ≥25).
Colour-coding refers to the ESC Classes of Recommendations (green = Class I; yellow = Class IIa; orange = Class IIb).
Treatments presented within the same line are sorted in alphabetic order, no preferential recommendation unless clearly stated otherwise.

<sup>2</sup>: If patient presents with Stable CAD or, in case of ACS, is not eligible for a treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor.
<sup>3</sup>: If patient is not eligible for a treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor.
<sup>4</sup>: If patient is not eligible for a treatment with ticagrelor.
Important bleeding, and DES was implanted more than a month earlier, stop DAPT. If important risk factors for thrombosis, I would like to keep aspirin on if possible and return to DAPT as soon as safe
Figure 1 Diagnostic algorithm of myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis. First step is represented by clinical history, electrocardiography, cardiac enzymes, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and left ventricular (LV) angiography. Regional wall motion abnormalities with an ‘epicardial pattern’ indicate an epicardial cause of myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis: if clinical data suggest coronary artery spasm, intra-coronary acetylcholine (Ach), or ergonovine test should be performed and if there is a clinical doubt of thrombus, intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS), or optical coherence tomography (OCT) are required. Regional wall motion abnormalities with a ‘microvascular pattern’ indicate a microvascular cause of MINOCA. If clinical data and left ventriculography suggest Takotsubo syndrome (TS) or PVB19 myocarditis, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with contrast medium (CM) is needed. If the latter shows evidence of myocarditis, endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) can be performed to ascertain the aetiology. If clinical data suggest coronary microembolism, TEE, and/or CEE are required to detect a cardiac source of embolism. Finally, if microvascular spasm is suspected, IC Ach test is needed. TEE, transesophageal echocardiography; CEE, contrast-enhanced echocardiography.
Figure 1 Recommended diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. * Takotsubo cardiomyopathy cannot be diagnosed with certainty in the acute phase as the definition requires follow-up imaging to document recovery of left ventricular function. In the authors' experience, some patients with apparent takotsubo have unrecognized ischaemic injury or myocarditis. We therefore recommend CMR when takotsubo cardiomyopathy is suspected. ** Plaque disruption (rupture, or erosion) should be suspected and intracoronary imaging considered whenever an alternate aetiology of the clinical presentation such as myocarditis or vasospasm has not been clearly identified, particularly among those patients with evidence of atherosclerosis on the coronary angiogram. Intravascular ultrasound and intracoronary optical coherence tomography frequently show more atherosclerotic plaque than may be appreciated on angiography. They also increase sensitivity for dissection. If intracoronary imaging is to be performed, it is appropriate to carry out this imaging at the time of the acute cardiac catheterization, after diagnostic angiography. Patients should be made aware of the additional information the test can provide and the small increase in risk associated with intracoronary imaging. *** Provocative testing for coronary artery spasm has been safely performed by experienced clinical researchers in selected patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction.<sup>34</sup> However, death cases have been reported (Per Tornvall Tornberg, personal communication) and this should not be a standard procedure among the patients, particularly in the acute phase. **** Clinically suspected myocarditis (no angiographic stenosis ≥ 50% plus non-ischaemic pattern on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) by ESC Task Force criteria.<sup>36</sup> Diagnosis of certainty and aetiological diagnosis of myocarditis requires EMB (histology, immunohistology, infectious agents by PCR). AMI, acute myocardial infarction; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CRP, C-reactive protein; Hb, hemoglobin; IVUS, intravascular ultrasound; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LV, left ventricle; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; OCT, optical coherence tomography; SO2, Oxygen saturation; WBC, white blood cell count.
