Mashup Score: 6Spectrum of Ischemic Heart Disease Throughout a Woman’s Life Cycle - 12 hour(s) ago
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both genders; however, young women fare the worst, likely reflecting the more complex spectrum of IHD in women when compared to men. Substantial sex-based differences exist in the underlying risk factors, risk enhancers, presentation, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of IHD that are mainly attributed to the influence of female sex hormones. This article reviews the spectrum of IHD including obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary artery disease, ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary microvascular dysfunction, vasospastic angina, and coronary thrombosis/embolism that occur in women throughout various stages of their life cycle. We aim to update clinicians on the diagnosis and management of these various types of IHD and highlight where further randomized controlled studies are neede

Mashup Score: 11An Overview of Arrhythmias in Pregnancy - 22 day(s) ago
Cardiovascular disease significantly jeopardizes pregnancies in the United States, impacting 1% to 4% of pregnancies annually. Among complications, cardiac arrhythmias are prevalent, posing concerns for maternal and fetal health. The incidence of arrhythmias during pregnancy is rising, partly due to advances in congenital heart surgery and a growing population of women with structural heart disease. While most arrhythmias are benign, the increasing prevalence of more serious arrhythmias warrants a proactive approach. Guidance and reassurance suffice in many cases, but persistent symptoms require cautious use of antiarrhythmic drugs or other therapies for a safe outcome. Managing more serious arrhythmias requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach involving specialists, including maternal-fetal medicine physicians, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and anesthesiologists.

Mashup Score: 6
Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are surgically implanted mechanical support devices utilized with increasing frequency as a bridge to myocardial recovery, destination therapy, and heart transplantation. While the use of such devices in patients with advanced heart failure has shown significant survival benefits and improved quality of life, they bear their own risks and complications.1…

Mashup Score: 0Stem Cell Therapy: A Possible Role in the Treatment of Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia? - 4 month(s) ago
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of peripheral arterial disease that portends high morbidity and mortality. Patients may undergo various endovascular or open procedures with the goal of limb salvage. No-option CLTI patients represent a vulnerable population for whom conventional options have been exhausted, or anatomy precludes any attempts at revascularization, often…
