Massive haemorrhage and transfusion: quick reference

…determines the outcome. Transfusion restores circulating volume, oxygen transport and haemostatic capacity, but it cannot compensate for an uncontrolled source of bleeding. Minimise the time…

Primary Aldosteronism: Screening and Management

…aldosterone responsive genes. Although the kidney is a major target—where MR activation promotes sodium transport—MRs are also present in cardiac myocytes, vascular smooth…

STEMI: Fibrinolysis, Indications, Contraindications and Rescue PCI

…restoration of coronary blood flow to the infarct zone, thereby limiting infarct size and preserving myocardial function. The benefit of reperfusion is strongly time dependent…

STEMI: Primary PCI and System-of-Care Time Targets

…of ischaemic symptoms. The immediate pathophysiological objective is restoration of blood flow to the infarct related myocardial territory and limitation of infarct size. The extent…

Acute coronary syndrome: quick reference for loading doses and time targets
