Gender differences in cardiovascular disease: Women are less likely to be prescribed certain heart medications
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading killer of both women and men in the US. Despite the significant impact CVD has on women, awareness and education for women’s heart disease has historically been low. A recent study, based on data from over two million patients, suggests that women were less likely to be prescribed aspirin, statins, and certain blood pressure medications compared to men. CVD is a group of diseases involving the heart or blood vessels. It includes high blood pressure (hypertension), coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart failure, heart valve problems, and abnormal heart rhythms. CVD ca...

What do you think of this elderly man with " possible seizure " ?
Written by Pendell Meyers(with really great and thorough explanation of this finding by Ken Grauer).At my hospital, patients with any symptoms which could be vaguely interpreted as a possible stroke during the triage process are brought to the high acuity area and a provider is asked to do a " neuro check " , which involves a quick H and P and exam to determine if we should activate our stroke protocol.A man in his 70s was brought to me for a neuro check, and the triage providers commented that they were worried about a possible seizure as well. The patient was alert and oriented with normal vitals at triage. He stated tha...

Corona times: Clinical cardiology gets up from graveyard, for a while !
Surprised to see many of my colleagues, physicians and fellows are beaming with a new pride even in this troubled corona times. Paradoxically, I could see some fresh clinical sense in their approach to problems as well. Each one of them had a story to tell. Sir, I could suddenly diagnose heart failure for the first time with my eyes and ears without NT- Pro BNP or E/E’ . I agree with you sir, textbooks seem to be right. There was indeed basal rales and JVP was elevated. I was astonished I could diagnose CHF clinically! Suddenly, I found, I have acquired the rare expertise of giving fitness to an emergency appendect...

Machine learning to predict risk of MI and CV death
Machine learning has been used to predict the long term risk of myocardial death and cardiac death in a study published in Cardiovascular Research from the European Society of Cardiology. It was a prospective study using clinical parameters, coronary artery calcium scoring and automated epicardial adipose tissue quantification. The study included 1912 asymptomatic persons from EISNER (Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research) trial with long-term follow-up after coronary artery calcium scoring. Epicardial adipose tissue is a metabolically active fat deposit which has been show...

Nanoparticles to Spot Vascular Calcification in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis affects most of us by a certain age, and it is the underlying cause of most cardiovascular diseases. The condition results in arteries being coated with plaques and fatty deposits, as well as being chronically inflamed. While vascular...

CHAD-STOP for cardiac amyloidosis
CHAD-STOP is the mnemonic for the initial steps in the management of cardiac amyloidosis: C: Conduction and rhythm disorder prevention H: High heart rate maintenance A: Anticoagulation D: Diuretics STOP: STOP beta receptor and calcium channel blockers, digoxin and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors Preload reserve is limited in cardiac amyloidosis due to severe diastolic dysfunction. Hence the only way to increase the cardiac output is by the heart rate reserve and hence it should not be cut down by beta blockade or calcium channel blockade. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors carry the risk of severe hypotens...

Confabulation of a cardiologist – post ISCHEMIA trial !
I have never found it difficult to retrogradely cross a dangerous epicardial collateral in complex CTO. Delivering a twin stent in a partial culotte strategy for a bifurc lesion has never tested my talents. Stenting a left main across the LAD, jailing the LCX with OCT support is my favorite time pass. Crushing a calcium infested diffuse long lesion with diamond-tipped ablator appear as breezy as shopping in a mall. But this one is really challenging  What is that? Understanding these four studies (Ref 1-4 ). They dogmatically say medical management confers definitive protection in chronic coronary syndromes. It stretches...

Forbidden tips in PTCA : OMG , give me strength to leave this lesion alone !
Confabulation of a confused cardiologist Yes, It has never bothered me to retrogradely cross a delicately dangerous epicardial collateral in complex CTO. Delivering a twin stent in a partial culotte strategy for a bifurc lesion has never tested my talents. Stenting a left main across the LAD, jailing the LCX with OCT support is my favorite time pass. Crushing a calcium infested diffuse long lesion with diamond-tipped ablator appear as breezy as shopping in a mall. Oh …I am terribly upset with this damn thing.  What is that? It requires 4 negative forces . . . to bring one big positive Impact! These studies say medic...

Shark Fin morphology recognized only by EM physician
Case submitted by Alex Bracey, Written by Alex Bracey and Pendell MeyersA man in his 70s complained of acute chest pain followed by witnessed cardiac arrest. He received immediate bystander CPR prior to EMS arrival. EMS found him in VF and administered 4 shocks, multiple doses of epinephrine, and amiodarone with intermittent ROSC, however he was in arrest on arrival to the ED with ongoing CPR via LUCAS device. Overall down time was 35 minutes from the time of arrest to arrival at the ED.First rhythm check in the ED showed PEA with a wide complex at a rate of approximately 30 bpm. Calcium and epinephine were given at CPR wa...

Master health musings : Where did Alexander the Great, checked his LDL and Chenghis khan recorded his BP ?
A middle-aged man a Biotech engineer, who is just back from his annual health check, sitting in front of me with a deeply anguished face and said “Doctor my LDL is 130mg, and my diastolic BP is 90 mmHg and fasting sugar is 120 mg .I am very much worried about my future” Wait , let me go through your file, I said , Isn’t a serious Issue doctor? No, its not , But , doctor, I have read about ASCOT, SPRINT and HOPE-3 trials. I guess they tell us to keep the LDL, blood sugar and diastolic BP all these three parameters around 80. Isn’t doctor?

TAVR: Aortic valve replacement without open-heart surgery
There has been a flurry of news recently about a procedure called trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for the treatment of the common heart condition aortic stenosis (AS). You may even know people who have had this procedure performed. What exactly is TAVR? And what’s all the excitement about? What is aortic stenosis? First, it’s important to understand the condition that TAVR is designed to treat, aortic stenosis. The aortic valve is the last structure of the heart through which blood passes before entering the aorta and circulating throughout the body. The aortic valve has three flaps, called leaflets, tha...
