Role of Cardiac CT Before Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)Current Cardiology Reports - Tập 18 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Mohamed Marwan, Stephan Achenbach
Catheter-based aortic valve implantation is increasingly being performed in high-risk patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. For successful planning of the procedure, CT has been shown to provide crucial information concerning the aortic root as well as the peripheral access vessels. This article illustrates the increasing role of CT before transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Pulmonary Hypertension with Valvular Heart Disease: When to Treat the Valve Disease and When to Treat the Pulmonary HypertensionCurrent Cardiology Reports - Tập 21 - Trang 1-7 - 2019
Christophe Martinez, Toshimitsu Tsugu, Tadafumi Sugimoto, Patrizio Lancellotti
This article will review the current guidelines for therapeutic intervention in (pulmonary hypertension) PH related to left heart disease (PH-LHD). The 6th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension (WSPH) recommended that the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) should be lowered to 20 mmHg. In several randomized controlled trials performed in patients with PH-LHD, pulmonary arterial hypertension...... hiện toàn bộ

Have the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Perturbations in Cardiovascular Disease Been Exhausted?Current Cardiology Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 450-463 - 2010
Sulaf J. Mansur, Fadi G. Hage, Suzanne Oparil
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in blood pressure control and volume homeostasis. Inappropriate activation of the RAAS has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension and related cardiovascular disease. Several classes of agents that block RAAS signaling have been shown to be effective antihypertensives and to have cardioprotective and renoprotective...... hiện toàn bộ
Low molecular weight heparins and coronary artery diseaseCurrent Cardiology Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 61-68 - 2000
Peter J. Zed
Coronary artery disease encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions including silent ischemia, exertional angina, unstable angina, and myocardial infarction. Acute coronary syndromes (unstable angina and myocardial infarction) are caused by the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, platelet activation, and fibrin deposition resulting in thrombosis. Aspirin and unfractionated heparin (UFH) have tradi...... hiện toàn bộ
Weighing the evidence for infection as a risk factor for coronary heart diseaseCurrent Cardiology Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 280-287 - 2000
Christopher J. O'Donnell, Daniel Levy
There has been considerable attention in recent years to the intriguing hypothesis that coronary heart disease and other atherosclerotic diseases may be caused by infection with pathogens such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, and cytomegalovirus. Supporting this hypothesis are studies that localize bacterial antigens to atherosclerotic plaques and that draw associations of systemic in...... hiện toàn bộ
A Primer on Arrhythmias in Patients with Hypertrophic CardiomyopathyCurrent Cardiology Reports - - 2012
Katy E. Bockstall, Mark S. Link
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are at risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, yet treatment options for these patients are made almost solely by extrapolation from patients with other diseases. Heart block may be seen spontaneously but is especially prevalent following septal reduction strategies. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in patients with hypertrophic cardio...... hiện toàn bộ
Clopidogrel and PPI Interaction: Clinically Relevant or Not?Current Cardiology Reports - Tập 14 - Trang 49-58 - 2011
Robert W. Harrison, Kenneth W. Mahaffey
Proton pump inhibitors and clopidogrel are commonly prescribed medications, both alone and in combination. In January of 2009 the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency issued warnings with regard to the concomitant use of clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors. Later that year, these warnings were limited to the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. These warnings were larg...... hiện toàn bộ
Platelet Function Monitoring and ClopidogrelCurrent Cardiology Reports - Tập 15 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Andrew R. Harper, Matthew J. Price
Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonist reduces thrombotic and ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention and acute coronary syndrome. The platelet inhibitory effect of the thienopyridine clopidogrel varies widely among individuals, and high on-treatment platelet reactivity has been associated with a substantial hazard for post-PCI cardiovascular ev...... hiện toàn bộ
