Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging used to identify infarct-related arteries in NSTEMI patients

July 9, 2019

Use of CMR to identify infarct-related artery

Non-ST-segment-elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients often present with multivessel or non-significant coronary artery disease. This can complicate identification of the infarct-related artery (IRA), increasing the likelihood of revascularization of non-culprit arteries. https://youtu.be/WchARtkURiA A recently published study by Heitner et al. has … [Read more...] about Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging used to identify infarct-related arteries in NSTEMI patients

NT-proBNP risk prediction in heart failure patients linked to atrial fibrillation

May 14, 2019

N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a commonly used biomarker in the detection, diagnosis, and evaluation of heart failure. Studies suggest that in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction, the association between NT-proBNP and outcome may vary significantly according to the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation. Higher levels of … [Read more...] about NT-proBNP risk prediction in heart failure patients linked to atrial fibrillation

Recommendations from a scientific expert panel on the transition to high-sensitivity troponin testing

April 30, 2019

Cardiology, myocardial injury

https://youtu.be/C8T6rcCImHI Cardiac troponin (cTn) assays have been widely used worldwide to assess myocardial injury. Recently, new high sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) methods have been introduced. A JACC scientific expert panel provided instructions and recommendations for institutions experiencing the transition from traditional to hs-cTn assays. The … [Read more...] about Recommendations from a scientific expert panel on the transition to high-sensitivity troponin testing

Periprocedural myocardial infarction after CABG and PCI for left main disease: impact on 3-year mortality

April 17, 2019

Myocardial injury after revascularization procedures.

https://youtu.be/nhmZiwzh05c The myocardial injury occurring during revascularization interventions, such as coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is generally defined as periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and is identified by elevated cardiac biomarkers following the procedure. In the sub-study of the EXCEL trial by … [Read more...] about Periprocedural myocardial infarction after CABG and PCI for left main disease: impact on 3-year mortality
