Review of current practice and challenges in fetal cardiac intervention
—
in CardiologyReview of current fetal cardiac intervention practices and challenges, examining intervention timing, patient selection criteria, and complication management in severe congenital heart disease.
Isolated CAE in MI linked to more recurrent events
—
in CardiologyIsolated diffuse coronary artery ectasia increases recurrent MI and stent thrombosis risk. Index artery events occur more frequently in affected patients.
TyG-BMI and CRP are linked to isolated nocturnal hypertension
—
in CardiologyElevated triglyceride-glucose-body mass index and C-reactive protein independently associate with isolated nocturnal hypertension, a cardiovascular risk phenotype with normal daytime readings.
Left anterior descending artery spasm caused a large anterior myocardial infarction
—
in CardiologyRare case of extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending artery spasm without coronary obstruction, diagnosed using cardiac MRI and OCT imaging.
Adult Kawasaki disease linked to coronary vessel wall abnormalities
—
in CardiologyStudy reveals coronary vessel wall abnormalities using optical coherence tomography in adults years after severe Kawasaki disease, including thrombotic substrates.
Pregnancy-related coronary microvascular dysfunction remains poorly understood
—
in CardiologyCMD prevalence among pregnant women remains underrecognized; diagnostic methods and management approaches require pregnancy-specific validation and standardization to improve clinical outcomes.
Women with aortic stenosis face sex-specific care gaps
—
in CardiologySex-based disparities in aortic stenosis pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical management in women require tailored investigational approaches and lifetime disease management strategies.
CT angiography identified coronary artery anomalies and their patterns
—
in CardiologyRetrospective CCTA analysis of 2,786 patients identifies coronary artery anomalies in 1.82%, with high RCA take-off predominating and gender-specific variations in malignant courses documented.
West-Norwegian PPCM incidence was low; recovery was successful
—
in CardiologyPeripartum cardiomyopathy incidence, risk factors, and long-term clinical outcomes in a West-Norwegian population with comprehensive assessment of left ventricular recovery patterns.
