Objective Assessing the impact of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) on the plaque burden of coronary atherosclerosis is our objective. Methods In this study, a total of 212 patients (age 46–80 years) with unstable angina (UA) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital from January 2018 to July 2022 due to UA were included.
Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup. This condition, called atherosclerosis, narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4
While this response is adaptive in the short term, chronic stress keeps your blood pressure elevated for extended periods, increasing your risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) and its associated complications, such as heart disease and stroke.
The primary endpoint consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina. The primary non-inferiority endpoint was MACCE (a composite of cardiac death, MI, ischaemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or target vessel revascularisation).
24 will focus on the following three current guideline updates: American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines 2023 Atrial Fibrillation Guideline - Pharmacology II: Strokes vs. Bleeds, What Do the Guidelines Tell Us About Practical Management in A-fib? The Guidelines Sessions at ACC.24
She had some very minor plaque but certainly nothing that could explain the heart attack and therefore she was discharged with a diagnosis of MINOCA i.e MINOCA – When a heart attack is not a heart attack Keywords: MINOCA; MI with normal coronary arteries; Coronary vasospasm; Microvascular angina; Syndrome X; Prinzmetal angina.
Clinical Trials for Stroke and Antithrombotic Therapy : The RAISE trial , focusing on reteplase versus alteplase for acute ischemic stroke, revealed promising outcomes for the use of reteplase. These changes aim to reduce bleeding risks while maintaining ischemic protection, underscoring the importance of individualized therapy.
