The document provides guidance on when it is safe to perform a stress test and how to select appropriate imaging. It is usually safe to do a stress test for patients with a down-trending troponin above normal levels or unclear cardiovascular stability, but not for those with active chest pain and rising troponins. Stress tests should only be considered for patients without active chest pain whose troponins are ruled out or indeterminate. The type of stress test or imaging should be chosen based on the patient's ability to exercise, history of arrhythmias, and other clinical factors. Proper documentation of elevated troponin causes is important.

SGLT-2 inhibitors may provide heart failure benefits through several mechanisms: decreasing preload and afterload on the heart, improving cardiac metabolism, inhibiting sodium-hydrogen exchange in cardiac myocytes, decreasing cardiac fibrosis, and reducing inflammation and epicardial adipose tissue.
The DAPA-HF trial investigated dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. It included patients aged 18 or older with an EF below 40%, NYHA class II-IV symptoms, elevated natriuretic peptides, and receiving guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure. The primary outcome was a composite of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death. Secondary outcomes included the individual components and changes in quality of

An ECG uses electrodes placed on the body to monitor heart rate and rhythm. A 3-lead ECG uses 4 electrodes on the limbs to continuously monitor critical patients. A 5-lead ECG adds a 5th electrode on the chest. Holter and event monitors can be worn for 24-48 hours or 2-4 weeks to detect irregularities. Loop and implantable loop recorders continuously record for weeks to years to capture abnormal events. A stress ECG tests heart function during increased physical exertion. The standard 12-lead ECG uses 6 limb leads on arms/legs and 6 precordial leads on the chest.
Effects of Sympathetic Stimulation 1.pptx
The document discusses the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation on the heart. Sympathetic stimulation increases heart rate, conduction velocity, contractility, and excitability of the atrioventricular junction. Parasympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate, conduction velocity, and contractility by increasing membrane permeability to potassium ions. The parasympathetic nervous system, via the vagus nerves, innervates the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular junctional fibers, while the sympathetic nervous system innervates all parts of the heart.

FREEDOM Trial.pptx
The document summarizes several key trials comparing outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease and left main coronary artery disease. The FREEDOM trial found CABG superior to PCI for reducing mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke at 5 years in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease. The NOBLE trial also found CABG superior to PCI for reducing major adverse cardiac events at 5 years in patients with left main disease. Subsequent EXCEL and PRECOMBAT trials found no difference in longer term outcomes between PCI and CABG for left main disease depending on syntax score and lesion location. Guidelines now support consideration of PCI
Presentation 4123.pptx
The document summarizes findings from the SYNTAX trial which compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with complex coronary artery disease involving three vessels or the left main coronary artery. The trial found that rates of death, stroke, or heart attack were similar between PCI and CABG at 12 months. However, CABG was superior to PCI in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events. The rate of repeat revascularization was significantly higher in the PCI group. Among patients with the most complex disease, as indicated by high SYNTAX scores, the event rate at 12 months was significantly higher in the PCI group compared to CAB
BACKGROUND 1234.pptx
The trial used an "all-comers" design and excluded patients with previous interventions or acute myocardial infarction without consulting local doctors. Patients assigned to one treatment but receiving another or neither were analyzed based on their assigned treatment. The study also included registries of patients not eligible for randomization due to clinical characteristics, including those not suitable for CABG due to comorbidities or no graft material or for PCI due to complex anatomy or untreated chronic total occlusions. The primary endpoint was a composite of death, stroke, heart attack, or revascularization over 12 months as adjudicated by an independent committee.
Background 123.pptx
The SYNTAX trial compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents to coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) for treating patients with previously untreated three-vessel or left main coronary artery disease. It was a prospective, international clinical trial involving over 1,800 patients across 85 sites. The primary outcome was a composite of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction within 5 years. Patients were assessed using the SYNTAX score to evaluate disease complexity. The trial found CABG resulted in better long-term outcomes than PCI for patients with more complex multi-vessel coronary artery disease.

answer.pptx
This document discusses acute pulmonary embolism, including its clinical features, diagnosis, and management. It presents pulmonary embolism as a blockage in the lungs caused by blood clots that can be life-threatening. Diagnosis involves tests like a CT scan or lung scan to detect clots, while treatment focuses on anticoagulant drugs to prevent further clotting as well as other procedures in severe cases. Managing the condition requires identifying risk factors, diagnosing properly, and providing appropriate treatment to resolve symptoms and reduce long-term complications.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition where the heart muscle stiffens, making it difficult to fill and pump blood efficiently. While medications like candesartan and empagliflozin can help reduce hospitalizations for HFpEF by improving symptoms, other drugs like irbesartan and spironolactone have not shown benefits. Management of HFpEF focuses on controlling blood pressure, reducing fluid retention, and treating the underlying causes.
SYNTAX TRIAL.pptx
- The SYNTAX trial compared outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for treating three-vessel or left main coronary artery disease.
- For the primary endpoint of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events at 12 months, CABG was superior to PCI. However, outcomes were similar between treatments for patients with less complex disease as measured by low or intermediate SYNTAX scores.
- For patients with more complex disease and high SYNTAX scores, CABG had significantly fewer primary events than PCI at 12 months.
JVP AND WAVEFORMS.ppt
This document provides an overview of jugular venous pressure and waveforms. It discusses the anatomy of the jugular veins and the technique for measuring jugular venous pressure at the bedside. Normal jugular venous waveform patterns are described including the a, x, c, x', v, and y waves. Abnormal waveform patterns are also outlined that may indicate conditions like tricuspid regurgitation, constrictive pericarditis, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac tamponade. The document concludes with how jugular venous waveforms can help identify various cardiac arrhythmias.
SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH.pptx
This document provides an overview of sudden cardiac death, including its definition, epidemiology, risk factors, etiologies, clinical features, management, and prevention. Some key points include:
- Sudden cardiac death is defined as natural death from cardiac causes within 1 hour of symptom onset. It accounts for about 50% of cardiovascular deaths.
- Risk factors include increasing age, male sex, coronary heart disease, smoking, elevated cholesterol, emotional stress, depression, low socioeconomic status, and left ventricular dysfunction.
- Transient factors like ischemia, electrolyte abnormalities, drugs, and autonomic influences can trigger lethal arrhythmias in those with underlying structural heart issues. Antiarrhythmic drugs in particular carry
case presentation.pptx
A 13-year-old female presented with central chest pain radiating to the left shoulder associated with sweating and one episode of syncope. ECG showed non-specific ST-T wave changes and echocardiogram found mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction, moderate mitral regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation, mild pericardial effusion, and elevated cardiac markers. This supports a diagnosis of probable myopericarditis.
Prevention-of-contrast-induced-nephropathy-_1_.ppt
This document provides information on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) including its definition, importance of prevention, risk factors, and prevention strategies based on clinical trials. CIN is defined as a 25% increase or 0.5 mg/dL absolute increase in creatinine 2-5 days after contrast. Prevention is important as CIN can cause prolonged hospitalization, dialysis, and increased mortality. High risk groups include those with GFR <60 mL/min, especially diabetics. Prevention strategies shown to be effective include intravenous hydration before and after contrast, using low- or iso-osmolar contrast, and oral acetylcysteine. The document discusses various prevention strategies and concludes hydration and choosing
ADDED SOUNDS.pptx
The document describes various heart sounds and their characteristics. It discusses:
1) The opening snap, which occurs early in diastole due to rapid flow through the mitral valve in conditions like mitral stenosis.
2) Ejection clicks, which are early systolic sounds caused by the opening of stenotic valves or the forceful ejection of blood into vessels.
3) Pericardial knock and rubs, which are friction sounds between the inflamed layers of the pericardium in conditions like pericarditis.
4) Prosthetic valve sounds vary depending on the type of valve but usually include opening and closing clicks.
BLOOD PRESSURE.pptx
This document discusses several studies related to blood pressure and hypertension. The Improving the Detection of Hypertension trial found that home blood pressure monitoring over 1 week may be the most reliable method for diagnosing hypertension. The JAMP trial found that nighttime blood pressure levels and a rising pattern were associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease, especially heart failure. The OSLO-ISCHEMIA study found that increased exercise systolic blood pressure was associated with greater risk of coronary heart disease over many years of follow up. Dietary approaches like the DASH diet were shown to lower blood pressure when combined with sodium restriction.
ADRIAMYCIN INDUCED CARDIOTOXICITY.pptx
Doxorubicin is an effective anticancer drug that can cause cardiotoxicity. The risk of acute cardiotoxicity during or shortly after administration is approximately 11%, while chronic cardiotoxicity occurring later has a risk of 1.7%. Chronic cardiotoxicity once established has a poor prognosis and high mortality. Early detection of subclinical cardiotoxicity through risk assessment, monitoring, and cardiac imaging may allow for intervention to prevent progression to heart failure and improve outcomes.
2 nd heart sound S2.pptx
The document discusses the second heart sound (S2), including its definition, historical aspects, genesis, features, components, and clinical significance. S2 is produced by closure of the semilunar valves during ventricular diastole. Key points include: S2 has a higher frequency and shorter duration than S1; it normally has an aortic (A2) and pulmonary (P2) component with A2 occurring earlier; inspiration causes physiological splitting of S2 due to changes in ventricular filling and ejection times; abnormal splitting patterns provide clues about cardiac physiology and pathology. Clinical examination of S2 provides important diagnostic information.

MADIT-CRT was a randomized controlled trial of 1820 patients with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic heart failure that compared cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) alone. The trial found that among patients with left bundle branch block, CRT-D reduced the risk of the combined primary endpoint of death from any cause or a heart failure event by 57% compared to ICD alone. This benefit was driven by a 35% reduction in all-cause mortality and a 63% reduction in heart failure events. Based on these results, the FDA approved an expanded indication for CRT-D devices to include patients with left bundle branch
CARDIOLOGY SPOTTER 3.pptx
A 57-year-old male with a history of coronary artery disease and prior stent placement presented for a routine follow-up. His clinical exam and echocardiogram were normal. His ECG showed an abnormality, with possible diagnoses including myocardial infarction, early repolarization, left ventricular hypertrophy, and others. However, pulse tapping on the ECG electrodes was identified as the likely cause of the changes seen, known as pulse tapping artifact. This phenomenon can occur due to the tapping of arterial pulses on electrodes and has been reported before in patients after percutaneous coronary interventions.

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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.How to Control Your Asthma Tips by gokuldas hospital.
