Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. The impact of the CABG SYNTAX score was also evaluated in patients with prior CABG.

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 TP29: Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Comorbid Carotid Stenosis and Cardiac Disease

Stroke Journal

We hypothesize the presence of comorbid cardiac disease has a synergistic effect on cognitive impairment in patients with asymptomatic CAS.Methods:Patients with 80% internal carotid artery stenosis with no history of stroke were recruited from inpatient and outpatient practices at a single, large, comprehensive stroke center.

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

Studies have shown that an increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with worse outcomes in various cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD).

Pulmonary edema, with tachycardia and OMI on the ECG -- what is going on?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

--increasing stenosis, ischemia, volume changes, increased blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, etc.) The scan showed a bicuspid aortic valve with severe stenosis and coronary artery disease. A lesion in the mid LAD was described as moderate, and a mid RCA stenosis was described as probably severe.
