This syndrome, which can be reverted, is also one of the causes of preventable stroke, at least in the context of carotid endarterectomy. At present, there is little information on the incidence of this condition in the context of carotid stenting, which is the purpose of this study, in addition to providing tips to prevent it....
Nutritional status is associated with higher mortality in elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis who require valve replacement, whether through conventional surgical strategy or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Noradrenaline (or norepinephrine) seems a safer choice than adrenaline (epinephrine) in patients undergoing acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock, according to the outcomes of this randomized study. Patients receiving adrenaline more often developed refractory shock, which led to early termination of this study. The administration of adrenaline was associated to over increased cardiac rate,...
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. The current population of frail and elderly patients is increasing, and while non-ST-segment acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) guidelines recommend early invasive treatment, this group has been excluded from most studies on the subject. Current information on its efficacy is controversial but agrees with the notion that this is a higher-risk group...

However, women who underwent angioplasty had a trend towards worse outcomes, a finding that might be related to comorbidities and somewhat increased chances of peri-procedural complications. In its formal...
