Management of Metabolic Acidosis in the Post-Cardiac Surgical Patient

Varghese, Midhuna Jomon, Rexy Roy, Keith Buchan
Abstract
The base deficit is the best way to evaluate severity of Metabolic Acidosis (MA). It indicates a value corresponding to the number of mmol/L below 24 of the measured bicarbonate concentration. Base deficit between 0 and 5 mmol/L indicates that the patient is not at risk of immediate harm. Arterial blood gases are typically measured every 2-4 ho

Clinical Profile and Approach to Osteal LAD Lesion During Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI)
Prakash Sanzgiri, Charan Reddy KV*, Rohan Thanedar and Srinivas Kudva
Abstract
Isolated Coronary Artery Stenoses (CAS) involving the ostium of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery is very challenging, especially in a setting of primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI). Intimal atherosclerosis in the Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) bifurcation is primarily in area of low shear stress which is the lateral w

COVID-19 Pneumonia with Atrial Fibrillation, Coronary Spasm, and Wavy Triple Sign (Yassers Sign); Dramatic Reversal at Home Management
Abstract
Rationale: A novel COVID-19 with a severe acute respiratory syndrome or pneumonia had arisen in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Emerging atrial fibrillation in COVID-19 patients is highly significant in cardiovascular medicine. A newly coronary artery spasm in the presentation of COVID-19 infection has certainly a risk impact on both morbidity

Maintenance (r) Alpha Lipoic Acid Reduces Sudden Cardiac Death in Geriatric Diabetes Mellitus II Patients
Gary L Murray and Joseph
Colombo
Abstract
Background: Diabetes carries a two-fold risk of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN), often progressing to Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN, critically low parasympathetic tone [P]), increases death 3.5-fold over 5 years, half sudden or non-renal. Oxidative stress is a major cause of DAN. Also, increased symp

The Feasibility of Blood Pressure Control with Autonomic-Assisted Hypertension Therapy Versus JNC 8 Therapy
Abstract
Background: Over one billion people have Hypertension (HTN); mortality and morbidity are increasing. The Parasympathetic and Sympathetic (P&S) nervous systems prominently affect the onset and progression of HTN, yet P&S measures are not used to assist in management. Our objective was to determine the feasibility of HTN control using P&S-guided
