Unexplained strokes or migraines? It could be more than just coincidence. Asst Prof Ivandito Kuntjoro, Director of Structural Heart Programme and Senior Consultant, Dept. of Cardiology, NUHCS, sheds light on Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), a heart condition affecting 1 in 4 people. Early detection and treatment are key to reducing the risk of recurring strokes! Learn more about PFO and the importance of closing that hole in-the-heart in this CNA article: https://lnkd.in/gFHai-uY #NUHCS #PFO #hearthealth #stroke #migraine

Understanding heart health is crucial, and the CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score is a powerful tool for early detection. Dr. Sanjeev Gera, Director & HOD - Cardiology at Fortis Hospital, Noida, explains how this non-invasive test helps identify the buildup of calcium in the arteries, providing a clear measure of heart disease risk. Timely insights like these guide treatment plans and empower patients to take proactive steps toward better cardiac health. Early assessment can make all the difference. #FortisHealthcare #AtFortisWeCare

The Importance of Diet and Lifestyle Modification for treatment of Heart disease Author(s): Richard M Fleming*; Matthew R Fleming*; Tapan K Chaudhuri Journal: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology Journal ISSN: 2455-2976 Introduction: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and has been so for several decades affecting an estimated 12 million Americans. This year approximately 1.1 million Americans are expected to have an acute cardiac event with almost 2/3rds of these (650,000) being recurrent cardiac episodes in people already being treated for heart disease; accounting for 1 out of every 3 deaths [1]. This high rate of recurrence clearly illustrates that the problem doesn’t go away following initial medical treatment, interventional procedures and/ or by simply telling people to change their diet and lifestyle; particularly given all the confusion about what is a health diet and lifestyle. #CheneySyndrome #ASCAD #DietAndLifestyleInterventions #CoronaryArteryDiseases #ValvularHeartDisease #Electrophysiology #CardiacElectrophysiology #Echocardiography #InterventionalCardiology #ClinicalCardiology #NuclearCardiology #AcuteCoronarySyndromes #ArrhythmiaEP #CVImaging #CVDPrevention #CardiacArrhythmias #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #CardiacPhysiology #CardiacRegeneration #CardiacRehabilitation #Cardiomyopathies #CardiovascularDrugs #CardiovascularTherapy #CardiovascularAnatomy #CongenitalHeartDefects

Percutaneous coronary intervention is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat the narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. The procedure is used to place and deploy coronary stents, a permanent wire-meshed tube, to open narrowed coronary arteries. It is also called Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA ) or putting stents in coronary arteries of the heart. Get Coronary Artery Disease treated by Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty ( PTCA) or putting stents in heart arteries with the world’s best Intervention cardiologist at top cardiology ( Heart ) hospitals in the world.

More accurate tools for cardiology leaders will do great help in efficiency and diagnosis, also build more confidence in virtual care.

Loss of Glycemic Control in Diabetes Increases Stent Failure   For the first time, there is compelling evidence that the degree of poor glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes is a relative risk factor for stent failure after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).   In patients undergoing revascularization, diabetes has long been identified as an independent risk factor for stent complications, including stent failure, but this study demonstrates that the risk is dose-dependent, according to Irene Santos-Pardo, MD, Department of Cardiology, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm, Sweden.   https://lnkd.in/gCBpkt5t   #DiabetesManagement #ContinuousGlucoseMonitoring #CGMTechnology #BloodGlucoseControl #InsulinDosage #GlucoseAlerts #HealthTech #MedicalDevices #ImplantableCGM #DiabetesCare #GlucoseMonitoring Glucotrack

⚡⚡Case of the week 🧨🧨 Small hypertrophy, big gradient! This 62 year-old male patient, with known hypertension treated with a monotherapy (irbesartan), presented with LVOT obstruction with a maximal gradient up to 100 mmHg! However, the CMR - after a treatment with betablocker - only showed a mild hypertrophy in the anteroseptal basal wall, measured at 12-13 mm. No LGE, normal T1 and T2 mapping. Maximal gradient decreased to 40 mmHg with 100 mg atenolol. Authentic sarcomeric HCM or hypertensive disease?

Exciting Collaboration with Nephrology The Renal-Eye Connection We're thrilled to share that Advanced Eye Care Center recently visited #NorthTexasKidneyDiseaseAssociates Denton to engage in a meaningful discussion about the critical eye-brain connection in chronic kidney disease (CKD). As many of you may know, renal patients face an increased risk of eye conditions such as retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. This connection is not just coincidental; it stems from the way the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) operates in both our kidneys and our eyes. Diabetics with renal disease have a 42% increase risk for glaucoma. Understanding this relationship is vital for providing comprehensive care to our patients. During our visit, we explored how early detection and intervention can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected by CKD. By collaborating with kidney specialists, we aim to enhance our patients' overall health and well-being through integrated care. Together, we can bridge the gap between eye and kidney health, ensuring our patients receive the best possible outcomes. Here's to advancing our knowledge and improving patient care! 👁️💙🩺 #AdvancedEyeCareCenter #KidneyHealth #ChronicKidneyDisease #EyeCare #HealthcareCollaboration #PatientCare #RenalHealth #NorthTexasKidneyDiseaseAssociates Israel Ackerman, M.D. Lawrence Shafron @DrRodgersEckhart
