|February 17, 2025
Summary
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) can cause serious neurologic issues like stroke. Identifying and treating PAVMs, as shown in this case, can prevent recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) represent abnormal vascular connections.
- These malformations can lead to significant neurologic complications, including ischemic stroke.
- Recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) may be an undiagnosed symptom of PAVMs.

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Pathogenesis
147
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.
There are various classifications for PH, each relating to different underlying causes and also...

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
