Myocardial infarction due to coronary embolism after mechanical aortic valve replacement: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) in aortic valve and its complication coronary embolism is a very rare condition. We present a young patient with acute myocardi. Diagnosis and treatment process is challenging.

What does the angiogram show? The Echo? The CT coronary angiogram? How do you explain this?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection; myocardial disorders, including myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and other cardiomyopathies. MINOCA I do not have the bandwidth here to write a review of MINOCA.

Estimated causal effects of common respiratory infections on cardiovascular risk: a meta-analysis

Open Heart

COVID-19 likely increases relative risk (RR (95% CI)) of myocardial infarction (3.3 (1.0 to 10)), pulmonary embolism (24.6 to 44.9)) and deep venous thrombosis (7.8 (4.3 Other RTIs also likely increase the RR of myocardial infarction (2.9 (95% to 11.0)), stroke (3.5 (1.2 95% CI 1.8 to 4.9)) and stroke (2.6

Abstract 134: Thrombotic Complications of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Stroke Journal

In severe OHSS, increases in capillary permeability can result in hemoconcentration and hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic events, including stroke and cerebral venous thrombosis. Within the HCUP cohort, fewer than 10 patients (<1%) were hospitalized with a stroke or thrombotic event within 60 days of OHSS diagnosis.

Abstract WP328: Higher Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ECG Atrial Fibrillation Prediction Model Output and Delta Age Computed from AI-ECG are Associated with Adverse Vascular Outcomes in Patients with Migraine

Stroke Journal

Adverse vascular outcomes used as endpoints include acute ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism, AF, and carotid artery dissection.A Patients with any adverse vascular outcomes before the index ECG were excluded. The mean age at the time of the index ECG was 44.3

Upon arrival to the emergency department, a senior emergency physician looked at the ECG and said "Nothing too exciting."

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Such cases are classified as MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructed Coronary Arteries). MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection. An angiogram is a "lumenogram;" most plaque is EXTRALUMINAL!!
