ESC 23: New Guidelines For the Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes
Author(s): Robert A Byrne Added: 7 months ago
ESC 2023 — Dr Robert Byrne (Mater Private Hospital, Dublin, IE) joins us on-site to discuss the new guidelines from the ESC covering the management of acute coronary syndromes. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a broad spectrum of conditions, and the presentation can vary from a stable patient, to a patient who is critically ill. In the past, separate guidelines were issued for ST-Elevation… View more

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in industrialised countries; among these, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent and is associated not only with high mortality but also with substantial morbidity. Acute manifestations of CAD are ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI (NSTEMI), unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and sudden ischaemic death.1 Due to the… View more

The introduction of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) strain was a great achievement in echocardiography and for the first time allowed true quantification of regional myocardial function. The central problem with this technique was the angle dependence and the unfavourable signal-to-noise ratio, which has been partially overcome with 2D speckle tracking. Figures 1 and 2 demonstrate application of… View more

Current Therapeutic Strategies in Stable Angina Pectoris Current strategies of drug-induced relief of symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease aim to improve the imbalance between oxygen supply to the heart and oxygen demand, which is well known to be relevant for myocardial ischaemia and hence angina pectoris.1 The agents that reduce myocardial oxygen demand are mainly beta-blockers,… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Torbjørn Omland Added: 3 years ago
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and heart failure (HF) are both associated with complex neurohormonal activation. Commensurate with advances in pharmacological and device therapies for both conditions, the concept of using circulating biomarkers for diagnosis and risk stratification, as well as for targeting and monitoring therapy, has received great attention. Although many novel biomarkers have… View more
