Due to the rarity of iatrogenic CeAD, existing literature on management and outcomes is limited. Common comorbidities included hypertension (62.5%), smoking (56.3%), and hyperlipidemia (46.9%). Most cases are managed medically without significant clinical complications or long-term negative outcomes.

He had some cardiac risk factors including hypertension, on meds, but no previous coronary disease. Outcome : Was it RCA or LCX with inferior MI? The RCA was opened with POBA ("plain old balloon angioplasty") and eptifibatide was started. A male in his 60's called 911 for chest pain. Here is his prehospital ECG: Diagnosis?

There was a good outcome. Dilated pupils and hypertension are a strong clue to sympathetic overload, but don't forget anticholinergic syndromes, including tricyclics!

Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko famously rejected the objective reality of Mendelian genetics because it clashed with the Marxist philosophy that the environment, not genetics, was the primary determinant of outcomes. Women also had more cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension (66.6% versus 66.3%; P =0.004), older age (62.4±7.9

Preliminary data has also reported the 30‐day outcomes associated with intracranial stent placement for ICAD with RO‐ZES compared to results from the Stenting Versus Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) trial. The primary endpoint was composite of 1‐year stroke, ICH, and/or death.

Background Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), while balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an alternative for inoperable patients. We aimed to compare right ventricular (RV) remodelling and late survival after PEA and BPA.
