Incidence and Predictors of Hypoattenuated Thickening and Device‐Related Thrombus at Three Months Postprocedural CT Assessment Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Amplatzer Devices—A Single‐Center Cohort

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a valuable alternative to long‐term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those at high bleeding risk. Hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) and device‐related thrombus (DRT) remain notable postprocedural concerns ...

Remote assessment of platelet function in patients with acute stroke or transient ischaemic attack [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Antiplatelets reduce recurrence after cerebral ischaemia. The international TARDIS trial assessed the safety and efficacy of intensive (combined aspirin, dipyridamole and clopidogrel) versus guideline (aspirin and dipyridamole, or clopidogrel

A Prospective, Multicenter, Open Label Study Investigating the Implementation of a Standardized Algorithm for Coronary CaLcificatiOn With PlaquE Modification Using UltraSound Guidance to Improve Procedural and Clinical Outcomes (CYCLOPES): Design and Rationale of the CYCLOPES Trial

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate‐to‐severe calcification is present in ~20%–30% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary lesion modification is often necessary to facilitate optimal stent delivery and expansion, with several dedicated devices now approved for calcium modification before stent implantation. The CYCLOPES study aims to evaluate

Elevated Hemoglobin Levels and Risk of ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in High‐Altitude Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Retrospective Analysis

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background High‐altitude populations typically exhibit elevated hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to chronic hypoxic exposure; however, the impact of this elevation on the risk of ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. Existing evidence is primarily derived from low‐altitude populations and cannot be directly extrapolated

Thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation and association with cognitive decline: systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objective:Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with dementia. If AF-related cognitive decline is driven by cerebral embolic events, thromboprophylaxis may impact on this.

Nationwide Analysis of PCI After TAVR From the Netherlands Heart Registration

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has gained interest as concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is now often treated conservatively before TAVR, and TAVR is increasingly used in younger patients with longer life expectancies. Therefore, more contemporary data on PCI after

Perioperative antithrombotic medication: An approach for the primary care clinician

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine
The primary care clinician faces many challenges and is often left to manage complex pathology because of resource constraints at higher levels of care. One of these complex conditions is the perioperative management of antithrombotic medication.

Levels and trends in cardiovascular risk factors and drug treatment in 4837 elderly Dutch myocardial infarction patients between 2002 and 2006 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background It is important to gain insight into opportunities for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Our aim was to investigate levels and trends in cardiovascular risk factors and drug treatment in Dutch post-myocardial infarction (MI ...
