A Review of Neurogenic Stunned Myocardium. [PDF]
Neurologic stunned myocardium (NSM) is a phenomenon where neurologic events give rise to cardiac abnormalities. Neurologic events like stroke and seizures cause sympathetic storm and autonomic dysregulation that result in myocardial injury.

Arterial coronary revascularization failure as a result of coronary vasospasm [PDF]
Discussion Although this experience is limited to a single case, a low-dose rt-PA regimen with longer infusion duration is a promising approach for patients who are in hemodynamically stable condition and do not require rapid lysis. There may be a lower complication rate because of the significantly lower infusion rate, despite longer infusion duration.

A New Insight Into the Pathogenesis of Coronary Vasospasm [PDF]
See related article, pages 682–689 To elucidate the control mechanisms of coronary vascular tone is one of the central interests in cardiac pathophysiology, because ischemic heart disease is one of the major causes of death in many countries. Although the coronary vascular tone is finally determined by the contractile state of smooth muscle, exo ...

ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery vasospasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication that can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Nitroglycerin‐resistant vasospasm, particularly involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), poses significant diagnostic and ...
