Pulmonary regurgitation
Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) can be divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive. The former is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension while the latter is not. Hypertensive pulmonary regurgitation Hypertensive PR is associated with severe pulmonary hypertension. It produces a blowing, decrescendo early diastolic murmur with the eponym Graham Steell murmur [1]. The murmur is heard in the pulmonary area and left sternal border, resembling the murmur of aortic regurgitation. It may be heard in Eisenmenger syndrome, severe primary pulmonary hypertension and severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart dise...

A social worker remembers a fire chief
I remember Jake Mattolli as a pioneer in heart surgery. He certainly didn’t wish to be one. I believe he had a valve replacement, and it was done in the early’60s. I remember the Boston surgeon termed the operation a success, but as Jake’s lungs gave out on the table, he, the patient, died.

COVID19 and Finding Effective Medical Therapies
This post introduces a column I wrote over at TheHeart.org | Medscape Cardiology — The good news is that most people infected with coronavirus don’t need a hospital or doctor. But some do. Some get very ill. The maddening thing is that doctors don’t have an effective treatment for the virus. There are no cures. The Worldmeter today shows nearly 5 million infections and more than 300,000 deaths. And no effective therapy. Excluding a possibly modest effect of Remdesivir, our care is supportive, which is medical jargon for giving simple things like oxygen, acetaminophen, IV fluids and letting ...

Brown vs white adipose tissue roles of pericardial fat
This study was conducted using serum and adipose tissue samples collected from pericoronary depots in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and patients without coronary artery disease undergoing aortic valve replacement [3]. Adipokine synthesis pattern of epicardial also changes in obesity and dyslipidemia. Adiponectin synthesis comes down and proinflammatory adipokines like leptin, tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 6 and resistin gets synthesised. These are proinflammatory, causing macrophage infiltration, destruction of microvasculature and increase in fibrosis [1]. In one study...

Non- A, Non -B Aortic dissection : Incidence ,classification & outcome
Aortic dissection is a unique cardiac emergency that tests our collective understanding of vascular anatomy and pathology .It poses the ultimate challenge to the expertise and wisdom of both cardiologists, and surgeons. Freezing the Aortic Time machine The philosophy of management swings between total inaction* in some (As in most Type B & few Type A as well ) to “No holds barred” approach in others. (In most Type A and few Type B). *Read it (also) as medical management that includes powerful Aortic pulse attenuation therapy with beta-blockers ( Unfortunately medical management is considered as Inaction by ...
