Established and Emerging Nucleic Acid Therapies for Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Circulation
AUGUST 25, 2024
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue 9 , Page 724-735, August 27, 2024. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disease that leads to elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and risk of coronary heart disease. Current therapeutic options for FH remain relatively limited and only partially effective in both lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and modifying coronary heart disease risk.

David Didlake, EMT-P, RN, ACNP @DidlakeDW An early 80’s Female was transported to the ED with new-onset facial droop, slurred speech, and focal deficit. No previous medical history was reported. My colleauges and I (interventional cardiology) were asked to consult during workup. MRI Brain demonstrated Left MCA acute/subacute infarct, MCA/PCA watershed, and no hemorrhagic transformation.
Use of downstream stress imaging tests for risk stratification of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain and low HEART score
Open Heart
AUGUST 25, 2024
Background Patients with low HEART (History, Electrocardiogram, Age, Risk factors, and Troponin level) risk scores who are discharged from the emergency department (ED) may present clinical challenges and diagnostic dilemmas. The use of downstream non-invasive stress imaging (NISI) tests in this population remains uncertain. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the value of NISI in risk stratification and predicting cardiac events in patients with low-risk HEART scores (LRHSs).

Sometimes you see an ECG strip, look at it and then put it away again with the thought: I don't understand this. But if you take your time and analyze the ECG systematically, you will usually come to a good result. This is an example of such an ECG (certainly not the most difficult). The explanation is shown in the 2nd picture.

Sildenafils effectiveness in the primary coronary slow flow phenomenon: a pilot randomised controlled clinical trial
Open Heart
AUGUST 25, 2024
Background On the one hand, the primary coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) can cause recurrence of chest pain, prompting medical examinations and further healthcare costs, while on the other hand, it can lead to myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Nevertheless, there is not any agreement on the optimal treatment for primary CSFP, so we decided to examine the effectiveness of sildenafil in this context.
