Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...

Area of Science:

Neurology
Interventional Neuroradiology

Background:

Acute ischemic stroke presents with sudden neurological deficits.
Cerebral artery occlusion, particularly the middle cerebral artery, is a common cause.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 77-year-old female with hypertension experienced acute aphasia and right hemiplegia.
Cerebral multidetector computed tomographic angiography (MD-CTA) confirmed left middle cerebral artery occlusion.
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) verified the occlusion prior to intervention.

Findings:

Successful endovascular mechanical thrombectomy was performed within three hours of symptom onset.
The patient demonstrated neurological symptom improvement post-procedure.
Mechanical thrombectomy is a key treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion.

Implications:

Mechanical thrombectomy has become a standard of care for acute ischemic stroke.
This technique expands treatment possibilities beyond the traditional time window.
Patient selection based on ischemic core, penumbra, and collaterals is vital for successful thrombectomy.
