Article Abstract
This is a retrospective review of a pilot program to provide in home vascular testing to patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Results: Eighty-four patients underwent a total of 105 vascular imaging tests as part of the program. Two patients required hospitalization secondary to imaging findings. A description of the program, the results of the testing and patient experience with in-home vascular testing is discussed.

Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) for non-culprit lesions (NCLs) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be influenced by temporary changes in microvascular resistance. Angiography-derived vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) has been tested as a less-invasive alternative.
Aims: The FAST STEMI II study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of acute-setting vFFR vs.

Background: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TICM) is typically reversible with rhythm control, but individual susceptibility remains poorly understood and may reflect genetic predisposition.
Case Summary: A 66-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) presented with new-onset heart failure. Genetic testing identified a likely pathogenic heterozygous ABCC9 gene variant (c.

Background: BMPR2 mutations cause heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and may also influence epithelial carcinogenesis.
Case Summary: We report 3 women with BMPR2-related PAH who developed early onset epithelial cancers: 2 breast cancers (34 and 54 years of age) and 1 colorectal cancer (47 years of age). All were on advanced PAH therapy at diagnosis.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) have distinct pathognomonic features, but they frequently co-occur as mixed dementia (MD) in elderly adults. This study aimed to develop a novel MD mouse model using bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) in 5 times familial Alzheimer's disease (5xFAD) transgenic mice and characterize its behavioral and histological features.
Methods: Thirteen C57BL/6 and sixteen 5xFAD transgenic mice were prepared.
