JACC: Advances Expert Panel Perspective: Shared Decision-Making in Multidisciplinary Team-Based Cardiovascular Care - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39130036/
Shared decision-making (SDM) and multidisciplinary team-based care delivery are recommended across several cardiology clinical practice guidelines. However, evidence for benefit and guidance on implementation are limited. Informed consent, the use...
This Expert Panel perspective highlights the current state of shared decision-making in team-based cardiovascular care, emphasizing patient-clinician collaboration and proposing best practices for multidisciplinary implementation across various cardiology domains.
Adenosine in Interventional Cardiology: Physiopathologic and Pharmacologic Effects in Coronary Artery Disease - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38892037/
This review article focuses on the role of adenosine in coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and treatment. Adenosine, an endogenous purine nucleoside, plays crucial roles in cardiovascular physiology and pathology....
Adenosine is vital in coronary artery disease diagnosis and treatment, influencing vasomotor function, stress testing, and therapeutic interventions like managing no-reflow phenomenon while highlighting its role in antiplatelet therapy side effects.
Management of high and intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism: A position paper of the Interventional Cardiology Working Group of the Italian Society of Cardiology - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38160911/
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening condition that remains a major global health concern. Noteworthy, patients with high- and intermediate-high-risk PE pose unique challenges because they often display clinical...
This position paper emphasizes tailored, multidisciplinary management of high-risk PE, highlighting catheter-directed therapies for rapid hemodynamic stabilization, reduced bleeding risks, and bridging gaps between evolving care standards and clinical practice.
Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma and Cerebrovascular Events: A Systematic Review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39582698/
CPFs are a differential diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke, especially if the initial workup for stroke is negative. Transesophageal echocardiography serves as a better imaging tool, compared to transthoracic echocardiography, in...
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are rare benign tumors causing stroke/TIA. Transesophageal echocardiography improves detection. Surgical excision is preferred for left-sided CPFs. Increasing age predicts recurrent cerebrovascular events.
Transient Ischaemic Attack in a Patient With Conn Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review on the Importance of Identifying Secondary Hypertension - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39740894/
This case highlights the increased stroke risk in patients with Conn Syndrome-related hypertension, emphasising the importance of early recognition and optimising hypertension management in patients with secondary hypertension to prevent...
A 78-year-old male with Conn Syndrome-related hypertension experienced a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Diagnosis led to carotid endarterectomy and optimised hypertension management, highlighting the stroke risk in secondary hypertension.
