Abstract

Cardiovascular events are the consequence of vascular damage at both the macro and microcirculatory level. The relationship between large stiffening artery and microvascular disease may be bidirectional, since wave reflection from microvascular sites could increase systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure, while transmission of increased arterial pulsatility to microvessels could represent a mechanism of damage. Hypertension and aging share similar mechanisms of vascular dysfunction. In fact, vascular remodelling, endothelial dysfunction and vascular stiffness are common features in hypertension and aging. Structural and functional changes in small arteries occur during normal and accelerated aging, possibly triggered by hypertension. A cross-talk may be present between large and small artery changes, interacting with pressure wave transmission and reflection, exaggerating cardiac, brain and kidney damage, and finally leading to cardiovascular and renal complications.

Verschlechtert frühe Hyperoxie nach Reanimation die Prognose?

Kommt es sehr früh nach einer kardiopulmonalen Reanimation zu einem Zustand der Hyperoxie, ist dies bei Patienten nach einem Herzstillstand mit schlechteren funktionellen Ergebnissen assoziiert. Das zeigt eine Sekundäranalyse der TTM-2-Studie.

Lp(a) zur Risikoeinschätzung bei Thoraxschmerzen

Der Lp(a)-Wert kann dazu beitragen, bei stabilen Patienten mit neu aufgetretenen Thoraxschmerzen und ohne KHK-Diagnose die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Vorliegen von Koronarstenosen abzuschätzen.

Finerenon bei eGFR-Verlust nicht gleich absetzen!

Der Mineralokortikoid-Rezeptor-Antagonist Finerenon verbessert die Prognose bei Herzinsuffizienz mit leicht reduzierter oder erhaltener Ejektionsfraktion. Ein Rückgang der eGFR zu Beginn der Therapie scheint diese Wirkung nicht wesentlich zu mindern.

LVAD auch bei kalt-trockener terminaler Herzinsuffizienz wirksam
