Diuretic Strategy and Decongestion in Heart Failure

…of extracellular volume expansion include elevated cardiac filling pressures, pulmonary congestion, systemic venous hypertension, and peripheral interstitial edema. These abnormalities produce breathlessness, orthopnea, weight gain…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and Electrocardiographic Criteria

…thrombotic debris may worsen the obstruction. Furthermore, cardiomyocyte swelling, interstitial edema, and tissue inflammation promote extravascular compression, exacerbating myocardial injury. Clinical Presentation and Symptoms In…

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and ECG Criteria

…Thrombotic debris may worsen microvascular obstruction, while cardiomyocyte swelling, interstitial oedema and tissue inflammation produce extravascular compression. In the most severe form, termed no reflow…

Anticoagulation Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation

…hypertension, heart failure, and the arrhythmia itself. This remodeling manifests as interstitial fibrosis, atrial dilation, and endocardial denudation, which collectively promote local inflammation and create…

Non-ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and Unstable Angina

Introduction to Coronary Atherosclerosis, Plaques, Atherothrombosis Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive, and highly dynamic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. It is characterized by…

Hypoglycaemia: quick reference for emergency management

…treatment of a neurologically compromised patient. Continuous glucose monitoring reflects interstitial glucose and lags behind the blood glucose during rapid changes. Pressure on the sensor…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

…distal thrombotic debris, cardiomyocyte swelling, interstitial edema, and inflammatory extravascular compression. This impaired tissue perfusion can extend injury beyond the initial ischemic zone and contributes…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI): Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management

Cardiology Coronary Atherosclerosis Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive, and highly complex lipid driven inflammatory disease of the arterial intima that serves as the fundamental…

Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Risk Assessment and Prevention
