Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

3
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

1.2K
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...

Antianginal Drugs: Calcium Channel Blockers and Ranolazine

455
Angina pectoris, a primary symptom of ischemic heart disease, requires careful pharmacological interventions. In this context, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and ranolazine have emerged as crucial pharmacotherapeutic agents, providing deep insights into the complexities of angina management.
CCBs, a diverse class that includes dihydropyridines (nifedipine) and diphenylalkylamines (verapamil and diltiazem), exert their effect by blocking calcium channels in cardiac and smooth muscle cells. This...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

2.1K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Chest pain is a frequent emergency department complaint with diverse causes, including acute coronary syndrome.
  • Initial assessment involves symptom characterization and risk factor identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review contemporary risk stratification methods for acute coronary syndrome.
  • To summarize the 2021 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines for chest pain evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing clinical decision pathways and cardiac troponin biomarkers for risk stratification.
  • Applying the recommendations from the 2021 guidelines for acute chest pain evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Contemporary risk stratification identifies patient subgroups needing no further testing, immediate cardiac catheterization, or further anatomic/functional testing.
  • The 2021 guidelines provide a framework for evaluating patients with acute chest pain.
