a med tech company dedicated to helping patients with persistent ischemic heart disease, has announced the treatment of the first patient with the A-FLUX Reducer System, a treatment for patients with angina or chestpain. Angina is often caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Circulation. VahatiCor, Inc.,
Angiography usually reveals an absence of collateral circulation to the infarct zone. But in the other half of this 30% ( ie, in ~15% of all patients with MI ) — although these patients found on follow-up ECG to have had infarction did not have chestpain — they did have "something else" thought to be associated with their MI.
Written by Jesse McLaren A 70 year old with prior MIs and stents to LAD and RCA presented to the emergency department with 2 weeks of increasing exertional chestpain radiating to the left arm, associated with nausea. Circulation 2014 2. 1] European guidelines add "regardless of biomarkers". But only 6.4% link] References 1.
This male in his 40's had been having intermittent chestpain for one week. He awoke from sleep with crushing central chestpain and called ems. EMS recorded a 12-lead, then gave 2 sublingual nitros with complete relief of pain. Type B waves are deeper and symmetric. Lessons: 1. de Zwaan C., Janssen J.H.A.,
The history is concerning ( This patient was awakened from sleep by chestpain that persisted for several hours — on a background of intermittent CP in recent weeks ). The ECG changes seen between the initial ECG and the repeat ECG after NTG — are undeniable! Nor was there a challenge to look for coronary spasm.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4139995-A4139995, November 12, 2024. Background:Although intracoronary acetylcholine (ACh) provocation testing is a guideline-recommended invasive standard for the diagnosis of vasospastic angina (VSA), ACh tests are largely underused in clinical practice globally. Recently, Rinaldi et al.
This was a male in his 50's with a history of hypertension and possible diabetes mellitus who presented to the emergency department with a history of squeezing chestpain, lasting 5 minutes at a time, with several episodes over the past couple of months. Plan was for admission for chestpain workup. Jernberg T, et al.
A middle aged male with no h/o CAD presented with one week of crescendo exertional angina, and had chestpain at the time of the first ECG: Here is the patient's previous ECG: Here is the patient's presenting ED ECG: There is isolated ST depression in precordial leads, deeper in V2 - V4 than in V5 or V6. BP was 160/100.
This patient, who is a mid 60s female with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and GERD, called 911 because of chestpain. A mid 60s woman with history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and GERD called 911 for chestpain. It is also NOT the clinical scenario of takotsubo (a week of intermittent chestpain).
Troponin elevation is dependent on presence or absence of occlusion (remember many OMI receive a diagnosis of NSTEMI), duration of occlusion (which is dependent on rapidity of therapy or the luck of spontaneous reperfusion), area of myocardium at risk, collateral circulation, and more. Circulation. Circulation, 137(19), p.e523.
Written by Colin Jenkins and Nhu-Nguyen Le with edits by Willy Frick and by Smith A 46-year-old male presented to the emergency department with 2 days of heavy substernal chestpain and nausea. The patient continued having chestpain. Circulation Research , 56 (2), 184–194. Is there STEMI? What is the rhythm?
This is where coronary circulation comes into play. Coronary circulation refers to the movement of blood through the network of coronary arteries and veins that supply the heart muscle (myocardium) itself. Step-by-Step Breakdown of Coronary Circulation 1.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4140337-A4140337, November 12, 2024. The confirmation cohort, which was obtained from the National Institute of Health, consisted of 3315 patients with normal Bruce protocol treadmill stress test results in the Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of ChestPain (PROMISE) Trial.
A middle-aged woman had intermittent angina for 48 hours, then onset of constant, crushing chestpain for 1.5 More likely, the patient had crescendo angina, with REVERSIBLE ischemia for 48 hours that only became potentially irreversible (STEMI) at that point in time. Circulation 1993; 88:896-904.
The aim is to restore proper blood flow to the heart, alleviating symptoms like chestpain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks. After coronary artery bypass surgery, many patients experience a significant improvement in their overall health, which includes better circulation and cardiovascular function.
Below are 6 anecdotal cases of true complete left main occlusion with no collateral circulation: 3 have STE in aVR 1 has no ST shift in aVR 2 have STD in aVR The ECG can have a variety of presentations in LM Occlusion. Beware crescendo angina in patient with known CAD ST Elevation in aVR Case 7. This was a 100% acute LM occlusion.
Written by Willy Frick A woman in her 60s with very severe hyperlipidemia (LDL >200 mg/dL) presented with acute onset chestpain. She described the pain as moderate in severity, and said it had come and gone several times over the next few hours before ultimately resolving. Her symptoms began while getting off the bus.
Scenario 1 : The patient presents with 24 hours of substernal chestpain. Ninety percent of patients with reperfusion attained a maximum T wave negativity of 3 mm or more within 48 hours after the onset of chestpain in the lead that initially displayed the greatest ST segment elevation. Circulation , 88 (3), 896904.
