Mashup Score: 44Fibromuscular Dysplasia: A Focused Review for the Cardiologist - 4 month(s) ago
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndromes. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an idiopathic, nonatherosclerotic, and noninflammatory arterial disease that affects small- to medium-sized arteries that can result in multifocal aneurysms, stenosis, tortuosity, and dissections. Extracoronary FMD has been identified in approximately 70% of SCAD patients and it is recommended that all SCAD patients undergo screening for FMD once in their lifetime using computed tomography angiography from head to pelvis.

Mashup Score: 28Safety of Continuing Trastuzumab for Mild Cardiotoxicity: A Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study - 10 month(s) ago
The safety of continuing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)âtargeted therapy in women with mild cardiotoxicity remains unclear. We performed a retrospective matched cohort study of 14 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2âpositive breast cancer receiving sequential anthracycline and trastuzumab therapy, nested within the Evaluation of Myocardial Changes During Breast Adenocarcinoma Therapy to Detect Cardiotoxicity Earlier With MRI (EMBRACE-MRI) trial. Among patients who developed cardiotoxicity and were treated with heart failure therapy, we compared those who had trastuzumab therapy interrupted to a matched cohort who continued trastuzumab therapy.

Mashup Score: 2Six-Month Progression of Massive Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm - 10 month(s) ago
A 59-year-old male patient was referred to our centre after a scheduled outpatient echocardiogram demonstrated that he had a left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm. The patient reported chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. He had a history of delayed presentation myocardial infarction (MI) 6 months prior, with negative cardiac troponin at presentation. At the time of MI, he was a smoker but had no other past medical history of note. Percutaneous intervention, with placement of a drug-eluting stent to a severe mid left anterior descending artery lesion was performed, and thrombotic occlusion of the principal diagonal artery was medically managed.

Mashup Score: 1Female-Specific Considerations in Aortic Health and Disease - 12 month(s) ago
The aorta plays a central role in the modulation of blood flow to supply end organs and to optimize the workload of the left ventricle. The constant interaction of the arterial wall with protective and deleterious circulating factors, and the cumulative exposure to ventriculoarterial pulsatile load, with its associated intimal-medial changes, are important players in the complex process of vascular aging. Vascular aging is also modulated by biomolecular processes such as oxidative stress, genomic instability, and cellular senescence.

Mashup Score: 8Validity of Home Blood Pressure Devices Sold in Canada - 1 year(s) ago
Measurement of home blood pressure is an important tool for the management of hypertension. However, the validity of home devices is of concern. The Recommended Blood Pressure Devices Program of Hypertension Canada reviews and recommends blood pressure devices using international validation standards. We sought to determine the proportion of Hypertension Canada-recommended devices available for purchase in pharmacies and online.
