How Smoking Affects Your Heart and Increases Surgery Risk

MIBHS

These factors contribute to a host of cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, making smokers significantly more vulnerable to heart-related illnesses. Smokers are also at a higher risk of graft failure in procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Prediction of postoperative stroke in patients experienced coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery has been a widely accepted method for treating coronary artery disease. However, its postoperative complications can have a significant effect on long-term patient outcomes.

Abstract 4142012: Ectasias of Multiple Coronary Arteries and a Coronary Cameral Fistula Between Right Coronary Artery and Coronary Sinus

Circulation

Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Multislice CT angiography further characterized the RCA, which extends to the coronary sinus (CS) distally forming a coronary cameral fistula (CCF).

EMS 12-Lead

In most cases, rather, the culprit is gross ischemia due to myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or advanced coronary artery disease. It was postulated that such an ECG feature is associated with advanced myocardial dysfunction, to include left ventricular aneurysm, as the cause of arrhythmia. [7] 5] Strauss, D.

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient was brought directly to the cardiac catheterization lab for PCI, bypassing the ED. The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. In the cath lab, the patient’s blood pressure remained low.

Abstract 4141539: Impact of Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter on the Prognosis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome or Undergoing PCI

Circulation

Introduction:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia, the risk of cardiovascular adverse outcome rises when it coexists with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
