BACKGROUND: With heavily calcified coronary and peripheral artery lesions, lesion preparation is crucial before stent placement to avoid underexpansion, associated with stent thrombosis or restenosis and patency failure in the long-term. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology disrupts superficial and deep calcium by using localized pulsative sonic pressure waves, making it to a promising tool for patients with severe calcification in coronary bed. AIMS: The aim of the study is to systematically review and summarize available data regarding the safety and efficacy of IVL for lesion preparation in severely calcified coronary arteries before stenting...

Minji Sohn, Soo Lim
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) stands as the leading global cause of mortality. Addressing this vital and pervasive condition requires a multifaceted approach, in which antiplatelet intervention plays a pivotal role, together with antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and lipid-lowering therapies. Among the antiplatelet agents available currently, cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor, offers a spectrum of pharmacological effects. These encompass vasodilation, the impediment of platelet activation and aggregation, thrombosis inhibition, limb blood flow augmentation, lipid profile enhancement through triglyceride reduction and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol elevation, and the suppression of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation...

Electrotactile stimulation through matrix electrodes is a promising technology to restore high-resolution tactile feedback in extended reality applications. One of the fundamental tactile effects that should be simulated is the change in the size of the contact between the finger and a virtual object. The present study investigated how participants perceive the increase of stimulation area when stimulating the index finger using static or dynamic (moving) stimuli produced by activating 1 to 6 electrode pads...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic morbidity after coronary heart disease and stroke yet is widely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Treatment of risk factors such as diabetes and cigarette smoking can benefit patients with PAD. Patients should have adequate blood pressure and lipid control to decrease clinical manifestations and symptoms of PAD. Use of antithrombotic medications should be individualized to the patient depending on presence of symptoms, revascularization, and comorbidities...

Introduction To predict postoperative myocardial infarction rates in patients who undergo noncardiac surgery, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Risk Assessment and Management recommends assessment of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in certain patients. Serial troponins are measured if the BNP level is elevated. In certain cases, Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) alone does not perform well, for example, during vascular surgery. Cardiac events occur in 20% of all vascular surgery patients...

BACKGROUND: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe clinical form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), accounting for approximately 11%, and is strongly associated with the incidence of amputation, cardiovascular events, and mortality. The Global Vascular Guideline (GVG) proposed a new Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) for evaluating the anatomic complexity of arterial lesions. However, more research is required to evaluate outcomes after endovascular intervention in CLTI patients using the GLASS...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have a significant risk of myocardial infarction and death secondary to concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). This is particularly true in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who exceed a 20% mortality rate at 6 months despite standard treatment with risk factor modification. Although systematic preoperative coronary testing is not recommended for patients with PAD without cardiac symptoms, the clinical manifestations of CAD are often muted in patients with CLTI due to poor mobility and activity intolerance...

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death around the world. Most CVDs-related death can be prevented by the optimal management of risk factors such as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for CVDs, provide some evidence-based recommendations which help healthcare professionals to achieve the best care for patients with CVDs. This systematic review aims to appraise the methodological quality of CPGs systematically and summarize the recommendations of self-managed non-pharmacological interventions for the prevention and management of CVDs provided by the selected guidelines...

Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing foot ulcers. To better understand internal soft tissue loading and potential treatment options, subject-specific finite element (FE) foot models have been used. However, existing models typically lack subject-specific soft tissue material properties and only utilize subject-specific anatomy. Therefore, this study determined subject-specific hindfoot soft tissue material properties from one non-diabetic and one diabetic subject using inverse FE analysis...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Guidelines no longer recommend low-fat diets and currently recommend more plant-based diets to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Furthermore, these guidelines have consistently recommended salt-reduced diets. This article describes current self-reported use and time-trends in the self-reported use of low-fat, low-salt and vegetarian diets in ASCVD patients and examines patient characteristics associated with each diet. METHODS AND RESULTS: 9005 patients with ASCVD included between 1996 and 2019 in the UCC-SMART cohort were studied...
