Oral Estrogen Linked To High Blood Pressure Risk: An In-depth Study Analysis
Conclusion As a whole, this study indicates a strong correlation between the method of estrogen administration and the risk of hypertension. Oral estrogen seems to carry a higher risk compared to transdermal patches and vaginal creams. The duration and dosage of estrogen consumption are also significant factors. Remember, regular self-monitoring is critical, and for that, we provide valuable guides on our website for things like ‘how to lower blood pressure’ and ‘checking blood pressure at home’.

COAPT Trial of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair in Patients with Heart Failure
Patients with heart failure and left ventricular dilatation may have secondary or functional mitral regurgitation. This is due to alteration of the left ventricular geometry producing changes in the functioning of papillary muscles and chordae tendineae and poor coaptation of the mitral leaflets. Secondary mitral regurgitation causes volume overloading of the left ventricle and is associated with reduced survival, increased hospitalization rates and decreased quality of life [1, 2]. Secondary mitral regurgitation can be reduced by guideline directed medical therapy and cardiac resynchronization therapy. This will also pro...

Cardiology update: Should mRNA vaccine myocarditis be a contraindication to future COVID-19 vaccinations ?
BY ANISH KOKA Myopericarditis is a now a well reported complication associated with Sars-Cov-2 (COVID-19) vaccinations. This has been particularly common with the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines (BNT162b2 and mrna-1273), with a particular predilection for young males. Current guidance by the Australian government “technical advisory groups” as well as the Australian Cardiology Society suggest patients who have experienced myocarditis after an mRNA vaccine may consider a non-mRNA vaccine once “symptom free for at least 6 weeks”. A just published report of 2 cases from Australia that document myopericarditi...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important, though rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Management of SCAD is different from that of acute coronary syndrome due to atherosclerosis [1]. High index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis of SCAD in young patients with acute coronary syndrome. Unlike atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, management of SCAD is mostly medical, in stable patients. Revascularization is considered only in high risk patients with left main dissection, ongoing ischemia, severely limited flow, hemodynamic compromise or refractory cardiac arrhythmia [2]. It has been mentio...

CNN myocarditis fact check by a Cardiologist (me)
BY ANISH KOKA A recent CNN article discusses approval of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine for people ages 6-17. The CDC director acted after its vaccine advisers on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted unanimously to support the two dose Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for kids in this age group. The goal per CDC director Walensky was to “protect our children and teens from the complications of severe COVID-19 disease” The elephant in the room that the CDC advisory group addressed is the risk of myocarditis from the vaccines that has been widely reported since April of 2021 by multipl...
