Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is indicated in patients who need to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.1 Compared with oral anticoagulation (OAC) and aspirin, DAPT has been shown to reduce the risk of thrombotic events and the rate of bleeding events.2 Chronic OAC is required in up to 10 % of the patients undergoing PCI, and is usually indicated for AF and mechanical… View more

Embolisation of atherothrombotic material is a common occurrence during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This may lead to distal vessel occlusion resulting in impaired myocardial perfusion, which is associated with larger infarct size, incomplete ST resolution and increased mortality. Unfortunately, there is a lack of significant adjunctive… View more

Arterial hypertension is a slow killer. A severe coarctation presenting in the neonatal period is frequently associated with hypoplasia of the aortic arch, which is proof of earlier poor foetal flow. Many hypoplastic segments after coarctation repair will show good outgrowth, probably due to enhanced flow through the arch. Early repair during infancy optimises arch growth, while late repair… View more

Many profound physiological changes take place in the cardiovascular system during pregnancy to meet the increased metabolic demands of both the mother and foetus. Such changes include an increase in circulating blood volume and cardiac output and decreases in systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure and hypercoagulation.1,2 The increase in circulatory burden during pregnancy and the… View more

Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains the leading cause of death among patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with mortality rates of approximately 50%.1 Even with the benefit of thrombolytic therapy and intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs), the in-hospital mortality rate of patients with CS from AMI was only lowered from 63 to 47% according to a report from the SHould we emergently… View more
