Introduction:Cervical artery dissection (CAD) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are key health challenges. We utilized a multi-state database to examine myocardial infarction (MI) risk post stroke or CAD to estimate cardiovascular complication risk.Method:We analyzed State Inpatient Database from New York (2011-2017) and Florida (2011-2019).

Results Out of the total 776 KTR transplanted between 2017 and 2019, CAG was performed on 541 patients (69.7%), of whom 22.4% were found to have obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). of cases, CAG findings resulted in myocardial revascularization. Asymptomatic obstructive CAD was observed in 70.2%

Methods We prospectively included 1384 patients with LRHSs between March 2019 and March 2021. All the patients underwent NISI (involving myocardial perfusion imaging/stress echocardiography). The primary endpoints included cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and unplanned coronary revascularisation.

Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ). Over the next couple of days the patient was weaned off of mechanical circulatory support. Inotropic medication was continued.

Studies have shown that an increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with worse outcomes in various cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD). The restrictive cubic spline in Figure 2 showed that LVEDD greater than 60 mm increased the risk of MACEs.
