Anticoagulation in Valvular Heart Disease.pptxzeinabnm
Brief definition with pathology, types, risk factors, clinical manifestation and staging in Valvular heart disease.
with detailed discussion of clinical management and approaches in different situation.
necessary information about each anti-coagulation used.
Coronary heart disease is best addressed by a comprehensive approach aimed at halting atherosclerotic disease and reducing the risk of thrombosis. Unfortunately, our success in optimal risk factor modification in patients with stable CHD remains poor: only 41% of patients achieved all basic goals in the recent ISCHEMIA trial, with success rates likely even lower outside the rigorous clinical trial context. A greater focus on achieving prevention goals in patients with CHD will have a substantial impact on patient outcome and rates of hospitalization and more resources and incentives should be allocated for improved secondary prevention.
The ISCHEMIA trial suggests that even selected, high-risk patients with extensive ischemic burden do not benefit from revascularization barring unacceptable angina despite OMT. As ISCHEMIA excluded patients with unacceptable angina, advanced heart failure, and those with unprotected left main disease, our evaluation may be geared to identify such patients for consideration of revascularization alongside an initial strategy of OMT.
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease of the arterial circulation, with focal areas of more severe manifestation. From an imaging standpoint, the paradigm of ischemia testing may have come to an end. Recent evidence from COURAGE, PROMISE, SCOT-HEART, and ISCHEMIA has demonstrated that functional testing for inducible myocardial ischemia is inferior to anatomic assessment for risk stratifying and managing patients with suspected or known CHD. Consistent with a large body of evidence, risk from CHD is mediated by the extent of atherosclerotic disease burden and not by the extent of inducible ischemia. Given that 55% of patients had nonobstructive CHD by CT in PROMISE, which was associated with 77% of cardiovascular deaths and myocardial infarctions at follow-up, there is immense opportunity to impact the disease at an earlier stage in a very large population of patients with occult CHD.
A Study to Assess the Level of Resilience among Hemodialysis Patients with Ch...ijtsrd
Psychological Resilience were outlined as Associate in nursing individual’s ability to actively mobilize all favorable factors to keep up or restore comparatively stable mental and physical functions in the face of disagreeable life events and adversity, is widely recognized as an individual’s competency and stress. Higher resilience was associated with greater acceptance of the disease, higher compliance with therapeutic regimens and additional outcomes in patients with chronic renal failure. Lower psychological resilience is associated with emotional dysregulation and variation in sensory processing which may increase the worsening of the illness condition. METHODS quantitative evaluatory research approach was used for this study with aim to assess the level of Resilience among hemodialysis patients with chronic renal faiure. Non probability convenient sampling technique were used to select the sample. Sample size consists of 100 samples and data were collected by using Connor Davidson Resilience scale CD RISC 10 scale. RESULT The result revealed that majority of the hemodialysis patients 73 had low level resilience whereas, 27 hemodialysis patients had high level of resilience. The chi square value were found to be statistically non significant at p value. CONCLUSION Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusion were drawn that highest percentage of the patients with hemodialysis were having low level resilience and minimum number of patients with hemodialysis having high level of resilience. Therefore, It is important to provide them strategies to improve their level of resilience via qualitative way.

Patient Pool: Globally, an estimated 10-12% of the adult population suffers from CKD, with over 14% of the adult population in the United States affected by CKD, as reported by the United States Renal Data System (USRDS).
Key Players: Leading pharmaceutical companies, including FibroGen, AstraZeneca, and Astellas Pharma, are pivotal in this market, with a focus on emerging markets.
Anemia is a common condition associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), encompassing myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA).
Anemia often develops in the early stages of CKD, typically when kidney function is reduced to 20-50% of normal capacity. Its severity tends to increase as CKD progresses.
The primary cause is the inadequate production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone typically generated by the kidneys. This results in reduced red blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to anemia.
Complications may include irregular or unusually rapid heartbeats.
Introduction to Roxadustat: Roxadustat is a small molecule hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor.
Route of Administration: Roxadustat is administered orally.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of treatment for thrombosis
and thromboembolic complications of a variety of disorders.
The use of any anticoagulant is associated with an increased risk
of bleeding, and bleeding complications can be life-threatening.
A rapid onset and offset of anticoagulant effect, fixed dosing,
fewer drug and dietary interactions and no monitoring
requirement; these make attractive options for DOACs over VKAs

19. Surgery/Invasive Procedure
• It is often possible to delay a procedure long enough to allow most or
all of the anticoagulant effect to dissipate spontaneously in patients
with normal renal or hepatic function.
Short half-lives of the DOACs
• If urgent or emergent surgery is required and there is insufficient time
to allow the anticoagulant effect to dissipate.
Appropriate reversal strategies

20. Antidotes Under Development
Ciraparantag
(PER977)
• Binds directly and specifically to direct thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, and heparins.
• For Edoxaban, required the lowest dose for full reversal of effect.
• Normalized the whole blood clotting time within 10 minutes.
FXaI16L
• It is a mutant form of factor Xa.
• Circulates in a zymogen-like (inactive) state.
• Becomes activated when it encounters activated factor V (factor Va) on damaged cellular surfaces.
• reverse the effect of Rivaroxaban or Dabigatran in vitro in human plasma.

21. Take Home Message
Direct oral
anticoagulants
(DOACs) reversibly
inhibit coagulation
factors and have a
shorter half-life
than warfarin.
We assess the
severity of bleeding
and the degree of
anticoagulation
through the patient
history and physical
examination.
In most cases of
DOAC-associated
bleeding, including
major bleeding, we
discontinue the drug;
transfuse blood
products if necessary.
Agent specific
intervention is first
line therapy in life-
threatening
conditions.
Minor bleeding can
usually be managed
conservatively using
local hemostatic
measures.
Most patients can
resume
anticoagulation after
a bleed, with
accumulating
evidence that
restarting the
anticoagulant results
in improved
outcomes with lower
risks of thrombosis.

22. Case Study
• A 42 year-old woman who was told by
her internist that she would be on a
DOAC for life after being diagnosed
with a pulmonary embolism six
months prior comes into your ED with
a one day history of hematochezia,
shortness of breath, hypoxia and
abdominal pain (pain scale: 9/10).
Her vitals are abnormal (Hypotension
90/70, hyperthermia 39), her
hemoglobin comes back 4 g/dl (5g/dl).
Elevated aPTT and TT.
• Would you stop DOACs?
A. Yes
B. No
• What is the next step in management?
22
23. • Which agent most likely patient was on it?
A. Rivaroxaban
B. Warfarin
C. Dabigatran
