Insights

Fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRCT) can assess coronary artery disease. This case shows FFRCT effectively evaluates myocardial bridges after surgical treatment, improving blood flow.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRCT) is a non-invasive tool for stable coronary artery disease.
  • FFRCT has not been validated for evaluating myocardial bridges (MB).

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...
Healing II: Complications01:24

Healing II: Complications

Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
