- The document summarizes current guidelines on revascularization for patients with stable angina from the joint ESC-EACTS Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization published in 2010.
- It finds CABG superior to PCI in reducing mortality and myocardial infarction, especially for patients with diabetes, left main or 3-vessel disease, and SYNTAX scores >22.
- The guidelines recommend CABG over PCI for these high-risk patient subgroups based on the SYNTAX trial and other studies comparing outcomes of CABG versus PCI.
Revascularization vs Medical Treatment for Coronary Disease in DiabetesIris Thiele Isip-Tan
- CABG may offer benefits over PCI for patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel CAD or left ventricular systolic dysfunction based on evidence from studies like BARI and SYNTAX. PCI with drug-eluting stents is equivalent to CABG for single-vessel disease when LV function is normal.
- The BARI 2D trial found that for patients with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease, an initial strategy of prompt revascularization plus intensive medical therapy was not more effective than intensive medical therapy alone in reducing mortality or major cardiovascular events.
- Screening for CAD in asymptomatic patients with diabetes remains controversial. Studies like DIAD found that routine screening with stress myocardial perfusion imaging did not significantly reduce cardiac events
The document summarizes several landmark clinical trials from 2015 related to cardiovascular diseases. It discusses the SPRINT trial which compared intensive vs standard blood pressure control and found lower rates of cardiovascular events with intensive control below 120 mm Hg. It also summarizes the IMPROVE-IT trial which found adding ezetimibe to statin therapy after acute coronary syndrome further lowered cardiovascular risks. The MATRIX program evaluated bivalirudin vs heparin in PCI and found no significant difference in outcomes. The AMBITION trial found initial combination therapy with ambrisentan and tadalafil lowered risks compared to monotherapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
This document discusses the importance of prevention in treating cardiovascular disease. It outlines stages of heart failure progression from asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction to refractory heart failure. Clinical trials show benefits of treating hypertension and post-MI left ventricular dysfunction to prevent heart failure. Treatment with ACE inhibitors reduces mortality and morbidity from heart failure. Prevention of risk factors is emphasized as the best strategy to avoid full-blown heart disease.
The document summarizes the results of the HYVET trial, which provided the first clear evidence for treating hypertension in patients aged 80 or over. The trial found that treating hypertensive patients aged 80 or over with the Natrilix SR-based regimen reduced total mortality by 21%, all strokes by 30%, fatal strokes by 39%, and heart failure by 64% compared to placebo. The treatment was also well-tolerated with few serious adverse events reported.
Silent atrial fibrillation after cryptogenetic stroke. Mexico City 2016Antonio Raviele
1) Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly found in patients with cryptogenic stroke when prolonged ECG monitoring is performed.
2) While silent AF seems to confer the same prognosis as symptomatic AF, the episode duration and arrhythmia burden that increase stroke risk are still uncertain.
3) In most patients, there is no close temporal relationship between silent AF and stroke, suggesting AF may be a marker rather than direct cause of stroke.

NSTEMI Invasive Treatment: Rationale and Timingcardiositeindia
1. Invasive treatment is favored over conservative management for NSTEMI based on studies like RITA-3 and meta-analyses.
2. The optimal timing of invasive treatment depends on risk scores - immediate invasive treatment within 2 hours is recommended for high risk scores, while moderate risk scores may undergo delayed invasive treatment.
3. Biomarkers like troponin, ECG changes, recurrent ischemia, and hemodynamic instability help determine treatment approach and predict long-term outcomes. In high risk patients, an immediate invasive strategy reduces mortality, myocardial infarction, and recurrent ischemia compared to delayed treatment.

1) Complete revascularization (CR), defined as treating all significant coronary stenoses, is associated with lower mortality compared to incomplete revascularization (IR) based on observational studies and randomized trials. IR is more common after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
2) For stable coronary artery disease (SCAD), CR is recommended when feasible, while for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), treating the culprit lesion only is usually recommended initially, with staged revascularization of non-culprit lesions if needed.
3) Randomized trials of preventive PCI of non-culprit lesions in STEMI
Nstemi invasive treatment rationale and timingoptimacardio
1. Invasive treatment is superior to conservative management for patients with NSTEMI based on multiple randomized controlled trials.
2. For high-risk patients based on risk scores like TIMI and GRACE, an immediate invasive approach within 2 hours is recommended to reduce death and myocardial infarction rates.
3. Biomarkers, recurrent ischemia, ECG changes, and hemodynamics help determine which patients should undergo early invasive treatment versus delayed invasive treatment.
This study evaluated the effect of enoxaparin vs placebo on mortality in acutely ill medical patients. Over 8,300 subjects aged 40+ hospitalized for conditions increasing thrombosis risk were randomized to enoxaparin 40mg daily or placebo for 6-14 days. The primary outcome of 30-day all-cause mortality saw no significant difference between groups. Secondary outcomes including 14-day mortality also showed no differences. Enoxaparin was associated with a significantly increased risk of bleeding. The study was underpowered and its results may have been influenced by use of compression stockings in all patients and lack of risk stratification.
1) A study evaluated 161 patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain using cardiac MRI to detect acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MRI had higher sensitivity and specificity for detecting ACS compared to electrocardiogram, troponin levels, and clinical risk scores.
2) MRI detected regional wall motion abnormalities in 89% of patients with ischemic heart disease and was 99% specific. Delayed hyperenhancement detected ischemia in 67% of patients and was also 99% specific.
3) Quantitative analysis of wall thickening by MRI also effectively diagnosed ACS, non-ST elevation MI, and ischemic heart disease, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.82 to 0.90.
The document discusses the role of cardiac imaging in assessing patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). It provides examples of how cardiac imaging with techniques like myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can influence patient outcomes. Randomized controlled trials show that imaging-guided management and assessment of ischemia can improve outcomes compared to usual care. Imaging also enables equal diagnostic outcomes at lower cost compared to invasive procedures. Overall, cardiac imaging is presented as having a natural partnership with cardiology for evaluating CAD and guiding treatment.

MRI can effectively evaluate patients presenting to the emergency department with possible acute coronary syndrome. In a study of 161 such patients, MRI had higher sensitivity and specificity than electrocardiography, troponin levels, or clinical risk scores for detecting acute coronary syndrome, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart disease. Regional wall motion abnormalities detected by MRI had 89% sensitivity and 99% specificity for detecting ischemic heart disease compared to 67% sensitivity and 99% specificity for detecting ischemic heart disease using delayed hyperenhancement. MRI provides accurate information to guide patient management in the emergency department.
MRI was able to detect acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain with higher sensitivity and specificity than other tests like ECG, troponin levels, and TIMI risk score. In a study of 161 patients, MRI showed 84% sensitivity and 85% specificity for detecting ACS compared to 28% sensitivity for ECG. MRI also detected non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with 100% sensitivity compared to 30% for ECG. MRI provides a safe, noninvasive tool for evaluating chest pain in the emergency department and can effectively triage patients.
1) Early revascularization through either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves survival rates in patients with cardiogenic shock compared to medical therapy alone.
2) There is ongoing debate about whether culprit vessel-only PCI or multivessel PCI is better for patients with cardiogenic shock and multivessel coronary artery disease. Current guidelines recommend culprit vessel PCI initially except in certain high-risk situations.
3) An integrated approach is needed using early revascularization, inotropic support, and potentially mechanical circulatory support, with involvement of multiple specialists. Cardiogenic shock continues to pose major challenges in acute cardiac care.
1) The PLATO trial compared ticagrelor to clopidogrel for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. It involved over 18,000 patients across 43 countries.
2) The primary endpoint was a composite of death from vascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke. At 12 months, this occurred in 9.8% of ticagrelor patients compared to 11.7% of clopidogrel patients, showing ticagrelor was more effective at reducing cardiovascular events.
3) The primary safety endpoint of major bleeding at 12 months occurred in 11.6% of ticagrelor patients and 11.2% of clopidogrel patients, showing no significant
This 3-sentence summary provides the key details about the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial:
The PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial investigated whether adding ticagrelor to low-dose aspirin would reduce cardiovascular events in patients with a history of heart attack 1-3 years prior, randomizing over 21,000 patients to ticagrelor 90mg twice daily, ticagrelor 60mg twice daily, or placebo on a background of aspirin. The trial found that both doses of ticagrelor significantly reduced the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, heart attack, or stroke compared to placebo with an increased risk of major bleeding, demonstrating the benefit of extended dual antiplatelet therapy beyond
This document summarizes key information from a presentation on optimal prevention of cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes:
1) Type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic complications. Both intensive lipid and blood pressure lowering through medications like statins and ACE inhibitors have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events.
2) While glucose lowering also aims to reduce cardiovascular risk, trials yielded mixed results. Intensive control increased mortality in ACCORD but showed long-term benefits after the UKPDS trial. Current guidelines target HbA1c under 7%.
3) The choice of glucose-lowering medications is also important. Rosiglitazone increased cardiovascular risk and was withdrawn. Ongoing monitoring of
1) The study compared outcomes of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI with thrombectomy (Group T) versus without thrombectomy (Group S).
2) MRI results at 3 months showed significantly smaller infarct size and less transmurality in Group T compared to Group S.
3) Procedural results favored Group T with higher rates of TIMI 3 flow and complete ST resolution. One-year outcomes also favored Group T with lower rates of MACE.
This document summarizes evidence on the cardiovascular benefits of ACE inhibitors. It finds that ACE inhibitors are effective at reducing cardiovascular risk across multiple patient populations, including those with stable angina, heart failure, previous myocardial infarction, diabetes, and risk of stroke. Clinical trials such as SAVE, AIRE, and TRACE involving thousands of patients found ACE inhibitors reduced mortality, myocardial infarctions, and other cardiovascular outcomes compared to other treatments. Guidelines now recommend ACE inhibitors as first-line therapy for various cardiovascular conditions based on the strong evidence of benefits.

1) The study analyzed the risk of early neurologic complications in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) based on the presence of contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) or vertebral artery occlusion (VAO).
2) CCAS was associated with significantly higher rates of early neurologic complications (8.1% vs 2.6%) and stroke (6.8% vs 1.3%) compared to CEA.
3) For CEA patients, CCO and a history of stroke were independent risk factors for early neurologic complications, but CCO was not a risk factor for stroke.

1130412-Updated Heart Failure Medical Therapy.pdfKs doctor
This document provides information on updated medical therapy for heart failure. It begins by defining the different types of heart failure based on left ventricular ejection fraction - reduced (HFrEF), mildly reduced (HFmrEF), and preserved (HFpEF). Common signs and symptoms of heart failure are listed, though many are only present in advanced HFpEF. Several landmark clinical trials evaluating medications like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta blockers, and aldosterone antagonists in different heart failure populations are summarized. The benefits of ivabradine and angiotensin-neprilysin inhibition are discussed based on trial results. Recent trials evaluating SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure prevention and treatment are highlighted.
Cabg is superior to pci in heart failure patients with multivessel disease prodrucsamal
1. CABG has been the standard of care for over 50 years in treating multivessel coronary artery disease based on clinical trials showing superior outcomes compared to medical management alone.
2. The SYNTAX trial demonstrated superior survival rates for CABG compared to first-generation drug-eluting stents for patients with 3-vessel disease.
3. Incomplete revascularization during PCI is associated with worse outcomes, with differences between PCI and CABG being most significant for patients who are incompletely revascularized.
This document discusses the use of left ventricular support devices for complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). It begins by outlining the types of patients that typically require high-risk PCI, including those with severe diffuse coronary artery disease, significant three-vessel disease, or left main disease. It then reviews various left ventricular support devices like intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP), Impella, TandemHeart, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and the evidence for their use. Finally, it emphasizes that while transradial access is associated with lower bleeding risks, operators must maintain skills in large bore femoral access and closure for cases requiring left ventricular support devices.

This document summarizes a presentation on current trends in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and future challenges. It discusses the use of TAVI in intermediate surgical risk patients, new generation valve devices, post-implant outcomes like paravalvular regurgitation and pacemaker rates, and several large clinical trials investigating the use of TAVI in lower risk patients. It also reviews temporal trends in TAVI procedures in France and research on reducing cerebral embolism during the procedure.
The document reports on a study from the ISCHEMIA trial investigating the impact of complete versus incomplete revascularization on clinical outcomes in patients with stable ischemic heart disease treated with an invasive versus conservative strategy. It finds that among patients treated with an invasive strategy, complete anatomic or functional revascularization was associated with improved outcomes compared to incomplete revascularization. However, after adjustment for covariates, the differences in outcomes between complete and incomplete revascularization were no longer statistically significant.
Novel Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in Patients With Atrial Fib...Choying Chen
This document summarizes the results of three major clinical trials that compared new oral anticoagulants to warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation:
- The RE-LY trial found that dabigatran 110mg and 150mg were as effective or more effective than warfarin in reducing stroke and systemic embolism.
- The ROCKET-AF trial found that rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin in reducing stroke and systemic embolism.
- The ARISTOTLE trial found that apixaban was superior to warfarin in reducing stroke and systemic embolism.
All three new oral anticoagulants were associated with
The document discusses the cardio-renal syndrome, which refers to the bidirectional relationship between heart and kidney dysfunction. It provides several key points:
1) The cardio-renal axis is an important but often underestimated player in cardiovascular disease, as the heart and kidneys regulate many of the same processes and their dysfunction can exacerbate each other.
2) There are different types and definitions of cardio-renal syndrome depending on whether heart or kidney disease initiated or occurred secondarily.
3) Worsening renal function in heart failure is associated with higher mortality and morbidity, though it may simply indicate more severe heart failure rather than having a direct causal relationship.
4) Several studies demonstrate the link
This document discusses transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treating severe aortic stenosis. It summarizes several key trials that demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of TAVI compared to surgical aortic valve replacement. The PARTNER trials showed TAVI to be non-inferior to surgery in reducing mortality, while being associated with lower risks of bleeding, stroke, and repeat hospitalization. Subsequent trials like the CoreValve US Pivotal Trial and CHOICE trial reinforced TAVI as a standard treatment for high-risk surgical patients with aortic stenosis.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) involves using a special pacemaker to coordinate the contractions of the left and right ventricles in patients with heart failure. CRT works by using biventricular pacing to improve the heart's efficiency. Several landmark studies found that CRT improves symptoms, cardiac function, and reduces mortality in patients with heart failure, low ejection fraction, and prolonged QRS duration. Echocardiography is used to identify mechanical dyssynchrony before CRT, but trials found echocardiography has limited ability to predict patient response compared to electrocardiogram criteria.
This document discusses several risk factors for sudden cardiac death including reduced ejection fraction, prior coronary events, and heart failure. It shows graphs of the overall and sudden cardiac death incidence rates in the general adult population as well as incidence rates for ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation in the post-myocardial infarction convalescent phase. It also provides a table displaying the number of cardiac deaths and total events by year.
1) Atrial fibrillation prevalence increases with age and is a global epidemic. It is more common in patients with cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors. (2) Patients with atrial fibrillation have higher rates of cardiovascular events compared to those without. (3) NOACs (non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants) such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban were shown to be as effective or more effective than warfarin for stroke prevention, with lower rates of hemorrhagic stroke and intracranial bleeding in major clinical trials.
The document discusses cardiogenic shock, which results from inadequate tissue perfusion due to cardiac dysfunction. Cardiogenic shock is defined by a sustained systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg, cardiac index below 2.2 L/min/m2, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure above 15 mm Hg. Causes of cardiogenic shock include acute myocardial infarction, mechanical complications, right ventricular infarction, and other conditions such as cardiomyopathy. The pathophysiology and management of cardiogenic shock are discussed.
TAVI 2013: Revisión y perspectivas futurasCardioTeca
This document summarizes a presentation on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for the treatment of aortic stenosis. It discusses the prevalence of aortic stenosis increasing with age. TAVI is presented as the first choice treatment for patients who are at high surgical risk or deemed inoperable due to comorbidities. The document reviews the various TAVI devices available, the pre-procedure patient evaluation, and the step-by-step TAVI procedure. Results from the PARTNER trial are summarized, showing reduced mortality and repeat hospitalizations with TAVI compared to standard therapy in inoperable patients, as well as similar outcomes to surgical aortic valve replacement in high-risk patients. Quality of life is also improved
This study examined 114 patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to determine predictors of improvement in stroke volume index (SVI) following the procedure. Regression analyses found that higher baseline SVI and lower valvulo-arterial impedance were associated with greater improvement in SVI after TAVR. Larger aortic valve area and reductions in valvulo-arterial impedance achieved through TAVR also predicted increased SVI. The results suggest that TAVR leads to better hemodynamic outcomes for patients with low-flow states and high impedance at baseline.

It recommends interventional cardiology become a certified subspecialty after completing cardiology training. The proposed requirements include 1 year of full-time interventional cardiology training, courses, publications, and a final board exam. Accredited centers must have experienced trainers, cath labs, ICU, and imaging. Up to 100 experienced interventional cardiologists could be initially certified without the exam to start the program.
This randomized trial compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unprotected left main coronary artery disease over 5 years. At 5 years, the cumulative rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events was not significantly different between PCI and CABG. However, ischemia-driven revascularization was significantly higher with PCI. Mortality and rates of myocardial infarction were similar with both treatments. PCI may be considered an alternative to CABG for select left main coronary artery disease patients when performed at high-volume centers.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

6. • Ad hoc PCI is convenient for the patient, associated with fewer access site
complications, and often cost-effective.
• Ad hoc PCI is reasonable for many patients, but not desirable for all, and
should not be automatically applied as a default approach.
Potential indications for ad hoc PCI versus
revascularisation at an interval
7. • Hospital teams without a cardiac surgical unit or with interventional cardiologists
working in an ambulatory setting should refer to standard evidence-based
protocols designed in collaboration with an expert interventional cardiologist and
a cardiac surgeon, or seek their opinion for complex cases.

Cox proportional hazards model
The CABG:PCI hazard ratio was 0.98 in patients without diabetes, and 0.71 in patients
with diabetes (p for interaction=0.01). The evidence for an interaction of diabetes
with treatment assignment was stronger (p=0.004) after adjustment for age, sex,
smoking, hypertension, prior MI, heart failure, and three-vessel disease. The
interaction of diabetes and treatment assignment remained significant after omitting
patients enrolled in the BARI trial.
