Wellens Syndrome: Timely Recognition and Successful Revascularization
Anno:
2024
Wellens syndrome is a condition characterized by clinical and instrumental signs suggestive of a critical proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis and requires early revascularization. Diagnostic criteria include T-wave changes in ECG during asymptomatic periods in patients with a history of chest pain, absence of significant cardiac…
LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK AND ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME: WHAT IS THE ROLE OF MODIFIED SGARBOSSA-SMITH CRITERIA AND THE WELLENS’ PATTERN?
Anno:
2024
A 55-year-old man presented to the emergency room with intermittent chest pain that started the day before. His medical history included hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm (75 bpm) with pre-existing left bundle branch block (LBBB), without modified Sgarbossa-Smith criteria, despite the hyperacute appearance of…
Not just a simple birth: spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a young mother
Anno:
2024
A 33-year-old Caucasian woman with no cardiovascular history was admitted to the gynecology department due to a threat of preterm birth. During hospitalization, the patient experienced chest pain complicated by ventricular fibrillation. Resuscitation maneuvers were performed, followed by an emergency cesarean section with fetal extraction and DC shock, resulting…
A VERY COMPLEX CLINICAL CASE OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME COMPLICATED BY THROMBOSIS AND INTRACRANIAL HAEMORRHAGE.
Anno:
2024
Female patient, 62 years old, with a remote clinical history of colon adenocarcinoma, arrived at the emergency-urgency department for chest pain; clinical, ECG and laboratory evaluation revealed a ACS NSTEMI and was performed angioplasty with DES implantation on the LAD and Cx branch and DAPT was started with ASA…
A REAL-WORLD PROTOCOL OF EARLY USE OF TRIPLE LIPID LOWERING THERAPY WITH I-PCSK9
Anno:
2024
Aim: We evaluated the feasibility of an early triple lipid lowering therapy (LLT) with PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods: In this multicenter experience, we consecutively enrolled ACS patients from July to November 2023. The prescribed LLT was evaluated at discharge. Triple therapy with a…
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION DUE TO LEFT CIRCUMFLEX ARTERY OCCLUSION: A SUBTLE TROJAN HORSE
Anno:
2024
A 47-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of recurrent chest pain (CP) since the previous day. His medical history included active smoking and dyslipidemia. The ECG revealed sinus bradycardia (56 bpm) with widespread ST elevation, consistent with benign early repolarization, and hyperacute and broad-based T waves in…
Nutritional status in patients with ACS: presentation of the DIET-ACS pilot project
Anno:
2024
Background and aims Recent evidence showed that malnutrition is an important poor prognostic factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Malnutrition is often considered a consequence of a state of undernutrition and, therefore, is believed to only affect underweight people. In fact, a major malnutrition problem affects the overweight and obese…
Cardiovascular toxicity in metastatic prostate cancer treatment: balancing risks, treating consequences
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION Enzalutamide inhibits the receptor of androgen hormones. It is administered for treating metastasized prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is known to have a cardiotoxic effect. CASE REPORT A 76 year-old man on-treatment for hypertension and overall good health underwent radical prostatectomy and bilateral ileo-obturator lymphadenectomy in 2021 for prostate cancer….
Baseline Shock Index-Creatinine Clearance as a Predictor of Long-term Mortality after ACS. Results From 24 Years of Follow-up of The ABC Study on Heart Disease.
Anno:
2024
Background: Shock index (SI), defined as heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure, is a useful simple predictor of long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction. Purpose: To assess the utilization of the SI updated version that includes renal function (Shock Index-Creatinine Clearance (SI-C)) to predict long-term mortality after ACS….
Safety and Efficacy of Evolocumab in patients with acute coronary syndrome underwent to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft: a comparative retrospective analysis
Anno:
2024
Background. In-hospital reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels following the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is recommended in the current clinical guidelines. However, the efficacy of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors (Evolocumab) in these patients undergoing surgical coronary revascularization has not been demonstrated. Methods. From January 2022…
