Novartis initially prioritized its treatments for heart failure and plaque-clogged arteries when it spun-off abelacimab but continued to monitor the Factor XI race, leading to its choice to take the baton back from Anthos.

(Harvard University Heart Letter) A clinical polygenic risk score test for diseases ranging from atrial fibrillation (AFib) to breast cancer was piloted by scientists. JACC: Asia) Lexaria Bioscience has announced that a CBD product beats a placebo in simulating acute pulmonary hypertension.

The patient’s inpatient course was complicated by new onset Afib with RVR and asymptomatic DVT with PE, however no etiology of coagulopathy was detected. Pathology from the clot revealed blood vessels of multiple sizes consistent with meningeal vessels or underlying AVM/AVF. A 6‐vessel cerebral angiogram as unremarkable.

As in all ischemia interpretations with OMI findings, the findings can be due to type 1 AMI (example: acute coronary plaque rupture and thrombosis) or type 2 AMI (with or without fixed CAD, with severe regional supply/demand mismatch essentially equaling zero blood flow). The rhythm is rapid AFib. Otherwise ( as noted by Drs.

The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenic shock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. However we also noticed that the rhythm is rapid, regular, and narrow, with no P-waves, at a rate of approximately 200 bpm, and therefore not sinus rhythm in this patient in his 60s.

As an aside, the LCx OMI is a type 2 event, since it is due to supply-demand mismatch from thrombus, and not due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion). The April 6, 2023 post — excessive baseline artifact misdiagnosed as AFib ( instead of sinus rhythm with AV Wenckebach — as in Figure-4 in this post ).

With the history of Afib, CTA abdomen was ordered to r/o mesenteric ischemia vs ischemic colitis vs small bowel obstruction. Widespread ST-depression with reciprocal aVR ST-elevation can be cause by: Heart rate related: tachyarrhythmia (e.g., See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case?
