Prognostic Value of Acute Vasoreactivity in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Vasoreactivity, which refers to the reduction of mean pulmonary arterial pressure in response to inhaled vasodilators, is a well‐established metric for prognostication and treatment selection in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, the role of vasoreactivity in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is less studied ...

Levosimendan in Cardiac Arrest (LeiCA): Protocol for a Randomized, Double‐Blind, Phase II Clinical Trial

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Despite developments in advanced life support, outcomes after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain poor. Levosimendan, a calcium‐sensitizing inodilator commonly used in heart failure, has shown beneficial effects in several experimental models and anecdotal clinical cases of cardiac arrest. The Levosimendan in Cardiac Arrest

Impellent impeller—Switching intra‐aortic balloon pump to IMPELLA‐CP after ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction and refractory cardiogenic shock

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
Cardiogenic shock is a dreadful complication of myocardial infarction. Despite widespread use and availability, intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) does not reduce mortality nor improves outcomes.

Acute Reduction in Blood Flow in the Right Coronary Artery After PCI Facilitates Pacemaker‐Induced Ventricular Fibrillation

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 1, January 2026.
We present a case involving pacemaker sensing dysfunction caused by acute reduction in blood flow in the right coronary artery. The pacing spikes occurred progressively earlier on the T waves, eventually resulting in R‐on‐T pacing that triggered VF. ABSTRACT Asynchronous pacing itself does not directly lead to the development of malignant ventricular ...
