ECG Blog #435 — Did Cath Show Acute Ischemia?

Ken Grauer, MD

That said — the ECG in Figure-1 should prompt the following considerations: The symmetric chest lead T wave inversion in ECG #1 could be a sign of coronary disease, potentially with acute ischemia. MY Hunch: Before going further — We need to consider the possibility of acute PE ( P ulmonary E mbolism )!

Examination of Inter‐α Inhibitor Proteins in Permanent and Transient Focal Ischemia

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundIschemic stroke is among the most prevalent diseases, with high death and morbidity. Numerous preclinical studies have reported efficacious interventions in rodent stroke models. More recently, IIP improved focal ischemic stroke outcomes in mouse models. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.

Spatial Transcriptomics and Proteomics Profiling After Ischemic Stroke Reperfusion: Insights Into Vascular Alterations

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:More than half of patients with ischemic stroke experience futile reperfusion, increasing the risk of death and disabilities despite a successful recanalization. Ischemia was induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 60 minutes, and Nissl staining was used to validate infarct size.

Heat Exposure & Heart Stress; 2-Hour POC Troponin Assay; Colchicine After Stroke?

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- An experimental study showed that heat exposure increased myocardial blood flow to put stress on the heart, and some people showed asymptomatic heat-induced myocardial ischemia on imaging. Annals of Internal Medicine) Olfactory.

Two promising approaches in the treatment of myocardial infarction: stem cells and gene therapy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

CVDs include coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and peripheral vascular diseases. These methods only alleviate symptoms of heart failure and myocardial ischemia and improve patients' quality of life by partially restoring myocardial reperfusion. In China, the death rate of CVDs ranks the first in all major diseases.

Recombinant GDF11 Promotes Recovery in a Rat Permanent Ischemia Model of Subacute Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Conclusion:These results demonstrate that systemically delivered rGDF11 enhances neovascularization, reduces inflammation, promotes neurogenesis, and improves sensorimotor function post-injury in a rat model of ischemic stroke. All six studies revealed consistent improvement of sensorimotor outcomes with rGDF11.
