Cardiovascular Risk in Women: Sex-Specific Factors

…classification, remains incompletely established. Data concerning premature menopause and subsequent hypertension or diabetes are insufficient to support firm conclusions. Systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including…

Lipoprotein(a): Measurement and Clinical Implications

…not fluctuate substantially over the lifetime. A repeat test may be reasonable after menopause when a premenopausal value was borderline, because levels may increase during…

Premature atrial contraction (premature atrial beat / complex): ECG and clinical implications

…Thus, the P wave morphology of premature atrial beats differs from the sinus P wave. Note that the P wave might occur on the preceding…

Premature ventricular contractions (premature ventricular complex, premature ventricular beats)

…The premature ventricular impulse replaces a sinus beat and induces a delay to the next sinus beat (the RR interval is increased after a premature…

Familial and Genetic Screening in Premature Cardiovascular Disease

…Familial clustering may also reflect shared environmental or behavioural factors rather than a single gene disorder. This distinction is important in premature coronary disease, hypertension…

Sudden cardiac arrest: Case 6

CPR ECG 1 . The initial rhythm is atrial fibrillation. The fifth beat is a ventricular premature beat. A ventricular tachycardia (VT) emerges. As evident, ventricular…

Familial Hypercholesterolaemia: Diagnosis, Cascade Screening and Treatment

…characterized by persistently elevated plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL C) from early life and a consequent excess risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)…

Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: Assessment and Treatment

…It is an important cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular risk factor clustering, disability and premature mortality. Cardiovascular conditions associated with obesity include hypertension, dyslipidaemia…

Indications for pacemaker

…Intermittent bradycardia The following conditions may cause intermittent bradycardia: Extrasystoles (premature ventricular beats or premature atrial supraventricular beats) can cause transient AV blocks by affecting…

🟠 Prasugrel (Effient, Efient, Prasita)

…of PCI. Patients should also take acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) daily (75–325 mg). Duration of therapy : Premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy, including prasugrel, in ACS…
