Unusual patient in Cath lab: a case report
Anno:
2024
Background: Acute coronary syndromes occur in daily cardiologist’s practice. Atherosclerosis is doubtless the main etiology; however, it exists an alternative physiopathological mechanism: spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Atherosclerosis and SCAD do not share the same risk factors: typical SCAD epidemiology comprehends young women often in pregnancy. SCAD is caused…
The conundrum of drug interactions and Holter Monitoring: Lamin gene mutation discovered by a torsade de pointes episode followed by out-of-the-hospital resuscitation
Anno:
2024
The prolongation of the QTc interval on the electrocardiogram is known to be associated with an increased risk of developing life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes (TdP). QTc values exceeding 500 ms can double or even triple the risk of TdP. Many drugs, including amiodarone and some…
Outcome of Out of hospital cardiac arrest : are there gender differences ?
Anno:
2024
Background Despite advance in resuscitation science, out of hospital cardiac arrest ( OHCA) has an average survival rate of only 10 %. Ventricular fibrillation (FV) is amenable to defibrillation , but deteriorates to non shockable rhythms over time. It’Known that immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and eraly defibrillation increase survival after…
GENDER DIFFERENCES IN PREDICTORS OF PRIMARY VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION: RESULTS OF THE PREDESTINATION STUDY
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Few studies evaluated risk factors for ventricular fibrillation (VF) before reperfusion during a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Important parameters such as blood potassium levels (K+), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) at presentation were not always considered. Furthermore, the potential for gender differences has never been…
