ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction as the first clue to membranous nephropathy: A case report - PubMed

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction as the first clue to membranous nephropathy: A case report - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41650082/

Although rare, STEMI may be the initial manifestation of MN. In young patients with myocardial infarction who exhibit clinical features of nephrotic syndrome, a hypercoagulable state should be considered. Early...

This case highlights STEMI as a rare initial presentation of membranous nephropathy in a young adult, emphasizing nephrotic syndrome–related hypercoagulability, recurrent coronary thrombosis risk, and the need for multidisciplinary management.

Safety and Efficacy of Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients with Refractory Angina - PubMed

Safety and Efficacy of Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients with Refractory Angina - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41637323/

The 12-week ECR-program was safe and effective in improving exercise duration, distance covered and ischemic burden on ESE in patients with RA.

A 12-week exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program was safe in refractory angina, improving exercise tolerance, angina severity, and ischemic burden versus medical therapy, without increasing major cardiovascular events.

A Review on the Echocardiographic Estimation of Left Ventricular Filling Pressures: From Guideline to What is in the Pipeline - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41543402/

Assessment of diastolic dysfunction is a cardiac anesthesiologist' holy grail, considering the increasing recognition of diastolic dysfunction (DD) in cardiac surgical patient and its' impact on the associated outcomes. Withstanding,...

Review discusses limitations of guideline-based echocardiographic assessment of LV filling pressures, highlighting emerging modalities like speckle tracking to improve quantitative evaluation of diastolic dysfunction across perioperative clinical settings.

Did you know? Not all hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is sarcomeric. Nearly 40% of patients have HCM phenocopies—such as amyloidosis, Fabry disease, or metabolic disorders—that mimic classic HCM but differ in prognosis and treatment. Integrating ECG, echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and genetic testing is essential to ensure accurate diagnosis and guide disease-specific management.

Could routinely screening for HCM phenocopies help cardiologists avoid misdiagnosis and enable earlier, targeted interventions?
