In-Stent Restenosis: Achilles’ Heel of Post-PCI Era
Despite advancements in stent design and polymer coatings over the past two decades, 1% to 2% of patients annually still experience instent restenosis (ISR). ISR reduces myocardial perfusion, may develop symptoms of myocardial ischemia, and thus leads to a high risk of myocardial infarction and cardiac death. Given that millions of drug-eluting stents (DES) are implanted globally every year, ISR remains a prevalent clinical issue with significant public health implications.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Effective prevention and management strategies are essential to reduce the burden of CVDs. This review summarizes recent advances in the prevention and management of CVDs. In terms of prevention, lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, and smoking cessation, remain important strategies.

Left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOTO) is a potential complication following surgical replacement of the aortic valve. We present an 88-year-old man who experienced periodic episodes of pre-syncope following aortic valve replacement. The underlying cause was identified as LVOTO resulting from elongated mitral valve leaflets. The diagnosis was established using stress echocardiography, which detected transient LVOTO with moderate rise in heart rate.

Background: Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality after cardiovascular disease. The second common leading cause of mortality in cancer patients is thrombosis, vary from arterial or venous thromboembolism to disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Infective endocarditis has a high mortality rate. Criterion for diagnosis is a positive blood culture, however, some cases present with negative blood culture. We present a 65-year-old male complaining of palpitations. EKG showed atrial fibrillation with RVR. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe mitral regurgitation and possible vegetation. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed endocarditis with ruptured chordae and vegetation on the posterior leaflet.
