Abstract

There are numerous cardiac imaging modalities which aid in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Each modality has variable efficacy in detecting stenosis and stratifying risk among those with CAD. Clinicians must evaluate these methods in light of their patients’ clinical presentations, to choose the most appropriate imaging technique. Understanding the unique benefits and indications of each modality aids in the selection of high-value imaging. Following is a review of the available cardiac imaging methods for the identification and risk stratification of CAD.

2. A review of cardio-pulmonary microvascular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension

Subjects
Microvascular dysfunction, Pulmonary hypertension, Right heart failure, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract

Microvascular dysfunction progressing to pulmonary hypertension can be a primary cause of right ventricular failure or a secondary cause because of an underlying systemic illness. Little is known regarding the etiology and epidemiology of coronary microvascular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension. Despite this limitation, its presence has been described in patients with pulmonary hypertension. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of cardiac and pulmonary microvascular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension. Additionally, this review provides a contemporary assessment on the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular dysfunction in patients in pulmonary hypertension. This topic is important to raise awareness of microvascular dysfunction in the coronary and pulmonary circulation, so that future studies will investigate its impact on the pulmonary hypertension patient cohort.

3. Fixed right ventricular collapse: A loculated pericardial effusion due to metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Pericardial effusions can occur as either circumferential or loculated when referencing their anatomic distribution in the pericardium. These effusions can result from multiple different etiologies, including malignancy, infection, trauma, connective tissue disease, acute pericarditis drug induced, or idiopathic. Loculated pericardial effusions can be difficult to manage. Even small loculated effusions can result in hemodynamic compromise. Oftentimes in the acute setting, point of care ultrasound can be used to evaluate pericardial effusions directly at the bedside. We present a case of a malignant loculated pericardial effusion and offer insight into management and clinical evaluation using point of care ultrasound.

5. Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk for Noncardiac and Nonsurgical Activities

Author

Christopher Perry, Jeffery B. Budweg, Andrew P. Stein, Jonathan Harder, Shishir Gupta, Alex J. Nusbickel, Madeline Smoot, Keval Patel, and David E. Winchester

Subjects
General Medicine
Abstract

Cardiovascular risk stratification is a frequent evaluation performed by health professionals. Not uncommonly, requests for risk stratification involve activities or procedures that fall outside of the scope of current evidence-based guidelines. Estimating risk and providing guidance for these requests can be challenging due to limited available evidence. This review focuses on some of these unique requests, each of which are real examples encountered in our practice. We offer guidance by synthesizing the available medical literature and formulating recommendations on topics such as the initiation of testosterone and erectile dysfunction therapy, SCUBA and skydiving, polygraphy, and electroconvulsive therapy.

Abstract

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a difficult disease to treat and can result in mucosal injury in the pharynx and larynx. This typically results in symptoms such as cough, hoarseness, and globus sensation, but the manifestation of cancer is a possibility. We present a patient with a squamous cell cancer of the larynx who was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and found to have LPR. The cancer was treated locally and GERD was eradicated with magnetic sphincter augmentation. After 15 months of follow-up, there was no residual cancer. This case highlights the role that untreated LPR may play in patients’ risk of developing laryngeal cancer.

8. Intrapartum leprosy

Author

Madeline Smoot, Randy Volkmer, Casey Roth, and Brandon Cornelius

Subjects
Case Reports, General Medicine, reproductive and urinary physiology
Abstract

Leprosy is caused by an infection with Mycobacterium leprae, an acid-fast, slow-growing, obligate intracellular rod-shaped bacillus. Intrapartum leprosy most commonly occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. This is likely due to pregnancy decreasing cellular immunity, thus allowing the organism to proliferate unchecked. This case report reviews the current understanding of intrapartum leprosy and details the hospital course of a patient who presented with active intrapartum leprosy at 32 weeks gestation.
