Diuretic Strategy and Decongestion in Heart Failure

…congestion, systemic venous hypertension, and peripheral interstitial edema. These abnormalities produce breathlessness, orthopnea, weight gain, peripheral edema, early satiety, abdominal distension and, in some patients…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and Electrocardiographic Criteria

…Endothelial dysfunction triggers leukocyte and platelet activation, while thrombotic debris may worsen the obstruction. Furthermore, cardiomyocyte swelling, interstitial edema, and tissue inflammation promote extravascular compression…

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and ECG Criteria

…or right ventricular involvement Pre existing abnormalities such as prior infarction, left bundle branch block, Wolff–Parkinson–White patterns or ventricular pacing STEMI and non…

Anticoagulation Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation

…and the arrhythmia itself. This remodeling manifests as interstitial fibrosis, atrial dilation, and endocardial denudation, which collectively promote local inflammation and create a highly prothrombotic…

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

…metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the interstitial collagen of the cap, leading to structural failure. Rupture exposes highly thrombogenic subendothelial matrix components, notably tissue factor and collagen…

Hypoglycaemia: quick reference for emergency management

…sample and send a venous plasma glucose, but do not delay treatment of a neurologically compromised patient. Continuous glucose monitoring reflects interstitial glucose and lags…

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

…PCI because of endothelial dysfunction, leukocyte and platelet interaction, distal thrombotic debris, cardiomyocyte swelling, interstitial edema, and inflammatory extravascular compression. This impaired tissue perfusion can…

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

…producing abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) components, primarily interstitial collagen types I and III, elastin, and proteoglycans [6] . This matrix forms a fibrous cap that sequesters…

Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Risk Assessment and Prevention

…of its high blood flow and the concentration of filtered substances along the nephron as water is reabsorbed. Nephrotoxic injury may involve the tubules, interstitium…
