Or is it a very tight stenosis that does not allow enough flow to perfuse myocardium that has a high oxygen demand from severely elevated BP? Annals of Emergency Medicine 2011; Suppl 58(4): S211. The T waves in leads II and aVF have deflated, and the T wave in lead III has become terminally negative. Murakami MM.

The sample included patients who presented with stroke due to severe stenosis and underwent elective stenting, and those who presented with large vessel occlusion (LVO) with underlying ICAD who underwent rescue stenting following thrombectomy. There were significantly higher incidences in uncontrolled hypertension (28.2%

Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. Cath findings shown above in Dr. Nossen's discussion confirm multi-vessel disease , including 90-99% osteal stenosis of the LMCA. The image shows the impella device in place.

The researchers analyzed 200k nationwide adults who underwent SAVR between 2011 and 2022, finding that… Annual SAVR volumes decreased by 45% (19,560 to 10,851). A second study in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery further detailed SAVR’s rapid volume declines, while highlighting certain patients who remain better off with surgery. to 1.9%).

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. In 1964, deep hypothermia was first used, followed by the cardiopulmonary bypass in 1965.

During medical school, one of the classic bedside exam questions we get is how to differentiate the valve issues of aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, which produce similar but different murmurs when you listen with a stethoscope. “How can you tell the difference between aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation at the bedside?”

In this abstract from 2011, we found that 4%(4 of 99) type 2 MI and 38% of type 1 MI had ST Elevation. link] An angiogram was done: It showed no culprit and no coronary disease, but did show a myocardial bridge in the mid LAD.
