Abstract 187: Nontraditional Lipid Indices and Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis Burden

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Since intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS)‐related stroke is prevalent in Asian population, we evaluated the relationship between lipid indices and ICAS burden.MethodsWe analyzed consecutively enrolled 1220 patients with acute ischemic stroke from March 2009 to May February 2013, who underwent brain MRI and MRA.

What is SCAPE in Cardiovascular Medicine?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

SCAPE is an acronym for sympathetic crash acute pulmonary edema, which can typcially occur in Pickering syndrome with renal artery stenosis [1]. Another term for transient acute pulmonary edema which occurs in renal artery stenosis is flash pulmonary edema. 2009 Nov-Dec;52(3):249-59. Indian J Crit Care Med. Prog Cardiovasc Dis.

Abstract TMP10: Impact of eicosapentaenoic acids and cilostazol in patients with intracranial arterial disease

Stroke Journal

ICAD was assessed by MRA and the stenosis rate was calculated by the warfarin-aspirin symptomatic intracranial disease (WASID) method.Results:The improvement in stenosis was significantly better with CT than with MT (Median% interquartile range(IQR)= CT: 21.71% (11.33-41.40) 41.40) vs. MT: 9.15% (2.69-25.78), 30.45) vs AS: 20.41% (12.54-41.26)

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Coronary angiography gives a visual impression about the severity of the stenosis. But it need not imply the actual functional significance of the stenosis in terms of flow physiology. A downside of the study was that it had included lesions of 50 to 79% stenosis also. identified physiologically significant stenosis.

No, we can’t call OMT, as a re-vascularisation  procedure.

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Hiding behind the technicalities PCI demands reduction in percentage stenosis , resulting in pre-defined minimal luminal area (MLA), maximizing net luminal gain, & restoration of TIMI 3 flow in all three coronary arteries.These are the popular scientific parameters. Regular exercise equivalent to PCI (ESC 2009).Will

Abstract TP296: How Often is Nonstenotic Carotid Plaque in Cryptogenic Stroke Causal Versus Incidental?

Stroke Journal

We then applied Bayes theorem (method of Alsheikh-Ali et al, Stroke 2009) to determine the probability that nonstenotic carotid plaque is causal or incidental.Results:The systematic search identified 6 cohort studies enrolling 1551 patients (761 CS, 790 KS). Methods of vessel imaging were carotid duplex ultrasound, CTA, and MRA.
