Continuous intravenous adenosine infusion reportedly produces stable and maximal hyperemia to allow for fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement; however, several observers have noted variation of the coronary/aortic (Pd/Pa) pressure ratio during course an infusion.Pd/Pa recordings continuous peripheral were examined in 51 patients (68 measurements) with data collected at least 150 sec 30 after lowest Pd/Pa reading. The recorded was used as true FFR value hyperemia. highest subsequent...
Hyponatremia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients. The implication of hyponatremia during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy remains unknown. In this retrospective study, consecutive LVAD patients implanted between April 2014 March 2018 were stratified by the presence (serum sodium <135 mEq/L) at 30 days post-LVAD. Incidence HF readmissions survival 1-year follow-up compared groups. Of 204 identified, 170 included. Serum levels...
• Cases of spontaneous vasospasm with both involvement the peripheral and coronary arteries are truly rare. Appropriate suspicion identification will lead to timely pharmacologic reversal transient myocardial ischemia.
