Lipid-Lowering Therapy: Statins as First-Line Treatment

…angiographic reduction of coronary obstruction. Intensive lipid lowering improves endothelial function, lowers circulating high sensitivity C reactive protein, reduces thrombogenicity, and favourably modifies inflammatory and…

Pharmacologic agents in myocardial perfusion imaging

…They are contraindicated in patients with bronchospastic lung disease, or a history of significant reactive airway disease. Contraindications also include second degree or third degree…

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

…within the subendothelial space, LDL C particles undergo oxidative modification by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enzymes such as myeloperoxidase and lipoxygenase. Oxidized LDL (oxLDL…

Artifacts in ultrasound imaging

…Side lobes and side lobe artifacts. Refraction artifact Reflection and refraction occur when ultrasound passes tissue boundaries. Tissue boundaries represent acoustic reflectors at which some…

Assessment of the pupillary reflex in cardiac arrest

…of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). A brisk, reactive pupil generally indicates an intact brainstem and adequate cerebral perfusion, whereas fixed, dilated pupils can signal severe global…
