Deciphering the source of an embolism is a common challenge encountered in stroke treatment. Carotid stenosis is a key source of embolic strokes. Carotid interventions can be indicated when a patient has greater than 50% stenosis in the carotid ipsilateral to the cerebral infarction, which is designated as the symptomatic carotid.

The study objective was to evaluate the feasibility of assessing and implementing patient-tailored interventions to reduce loneliness among elderly patients in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). Methods This randomized control trial conducted at the CICU included 58 patients, 28 patients were in control and 30 in the intervention groups.

Aims: Despite therapeutic advancements, the prognosis of heart failure (HF) remains poor, with high rates of mortality and readmission, particularly following a HF exacerbation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a nurse-coordinated multidisciplinary comprehensive HF management programme on HF patients.
Methods And Results: This retrospective cohort study involved patients admitted for acute HF exacerbation at a regional hospital in Hong Kong.

The indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have broadened in clinical practice, and its use in circulatory failure caused by acute drug intoxication has become more frequent. We reviewed three cases of venoarterial (VA) ECMO use for intoxication at our hospital. Three cases (aged 60-69 years) developed refractory shock following intentional overdose, including calcium channel blockers.

Background: Cardiac biomarkers are important components for diagnosing perioperative myocardial infarction (MI). Efforts to detect MI by biomarker-release only faced heavy criticism, because cardiac biomarker-release has also been observed in situations that are not always related to cell death (e.g.
