Antiplatelet therapy is the standard of care for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and/or patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting.1–3 Plaque rupture and/or iatrogenic vascular damage during PCI would normally result in the development of intravascular thrombus. Findings across multiple investigations consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of dual… View more

The rare but catastrophic occurrence of stent thrombosis, in particular 'late' stent thrombosis, in association with deployment of drug-eluting stents has focused attention on the adequacy of the current dual anti-platelet regimen of aspirin and clopidogrel. Stent thrombosis is due to multiple factors. These include, specific stent features (delayed healing or polymer hypersensitivity),… View more

Coronary angiography and subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the appropriate treatment in many patients with moderate- and high-risk acute coronary syndromes (ACS). As ACS and complications after PCI are primarily platelet-driven, adequate antiplatelet therapy is of utmost importance in patients with ACS and after coronary stent implantation. The main antiplatelet agents… View more

To date, cardiologists have alleviated the symptoms of patients with significant lesions in the coronary angiography by stenting or coronary artery bypass grafting. While normal-looking coronary segments in angiography have been regarded as ‘disease-free’ and mild/moderate stenoses as ‘non-treatable’, today that we know that from these non-significantly diseased areas may potentially arise acute… View more

EHRA 24: A Substudy of NOAH-AFNET 6
Author(s): Julius Nikorowitsch Added: 3 days ago
EHRA 24 - We are joined onsite by Dr Julius Nikorowitsch (University Heart and Vascular Centre Hamburg (UHZ), DE) to outline the impact of age, sex, cardiovascular comorbidities, and kidney function on outcomes with oral anticoagulation therapy in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation in a substudy of the NOAH-AFNET 6 trial (NCT02618577).The substudy consisted of 2534 patients from… View more

Amyloidosis is a condition characterised by accumulation of pathologic fibrillar proteins in organs causing dysfunction.1 Several protein precursors have been shown to cause amyloidosis.2 Cardiac amyloidosis, when waxy, starch-like deposits infiltrate the heart, is most commonly secondary to the accumulation of amyloid fibrils derived from immunoglobulin light chains (AL) or transthyretin (ATTR)… View more

Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. Although the incidence of death due to coronary artery disease has declined over the last several years, the prevalence of coronary artery disease remains high, with the American Heart Association (AHA) estimating that over 81 million Americans suffer from cardiovascular disease and 2,200 people dying every day of… View more
