Article Abstract

The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) classified cardiogenic shock (CS) into five stages ranging from A-E. There remains significant ambiguity regarding the assessment and management of SCAI Stage B. Given its nebulous nature that can rapidly escalate, prompt interventions are needed. Here, we describe the trajectory of cases that presented with SCAI Stage B CS.

Cardiac adipose tissue is normally present in the epicardium, but a variable amount can also be present in the myocardium, particularly in the subepicardial regions of the right ventricular anterolateral and apical regions. Pathological adipose tissue changes may occur in both ischemic (previous myocardial infarction) and nonischemic (previous myocarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, cardiac lipomas and liposarcomas) conditions, with or without extensive replacement-type myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging technique to characterize myocardial tissue changes and to distinguish between physiological and pathological cardiac fat deposits.

Reproducibility and research integrity are foundational tenets to scientific discovery, which are produced utilizing well-established, proven principles and protocols. Furthermore, with the ever-increasing prevalence and burden cardiovascular disease (CVD) places on individuals and society at large, it deems essential to cultivate robust and validated model for investigation. Our group utilizes a two-surgery protocol in a swine model that has been progressively refined over the last twenty years, in which we first induce chronic myocardial ischemia by placement of an ameroid constrictor mimicking the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans.

Hypertension is a clinical condition associated with an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension is also a driver of faster disease progression. Correct and appropriate treatment with antihypertensive medication reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and slows kidney disease progression.

The effect of shape and size of embolic agents on embolization phenomena has been discussed clinically for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). We numerically discussed the unique embolization behavior of new deformable toroidal microparticles in blood vessels by computational fluid dynamics simulations. We employed an Eulerian-Eulerian (full Eulerian) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method to analyze the flow and deformation behaviors of a deformable torus in a cylindrical pipe.

Objective: Originally designed to evaluate stroke risk in individuals with atrial fibrillation unrelated to valvular disease, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, and Sex category - female) is now additionally utilized for the prognostic evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for lesion severity and long-term survival outcomes in individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Method: This retrospective analysis included 784 patients diagnosed with PAD via computed tomography (CT) angiography, consecutively enrolled from two medical centers.
