Cardioprotective Role of Coronary Collaterals in the Development of Intramyocardial Hemorrhage in ST-Segment Elevation MI Patients Open
Extent of coronary collaterals is a determinant of IMH in revascularized STEMI. Since IMH is known to drive post-PCI infarct expansion, determination of collateral status has the potential to identify patients at high risk of infarct expan…

Intracardiac Cement Embolism After Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Open
We report a case of intracardiac cement embolism in a 24-year-old male patient as a rare postprocedural complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty. The patient was assessed 1 month after the procedure because of persistent tachycardia. Co…

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea as an Exacerbator of Vasospastic Angina Open
Little is known about the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and vasospastic angina. The authors report the case of a 47-year-old female with vasospastic angina who had a high symptom burden despite nitroglycerine and a cal…

Utilization of Shock Team and Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the Management of Cardiogenic Shock in Northern Ontario Open
This analysis demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a shock team in remote Northern Ontario, enabling the use of VA-ECMO with success in a centre with a sizeable rural catchment area. This initiative helps address the gap in cardiac…

A56 LEVELS OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN PATIENT AND PRACTITIONER LED MALUTRITION SCREENING TOOLS IN CIRRHOSIS Open
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is prevalent in cirrhosis, and tools to screen for nutrition risk are available, however, screening is seldom implemented in clinical practice. Time constraints in a clinic setting may provide one explanation for t…

Recent Advances in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Open
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become the gold standard for evaluating myocardial function, volumes, and scarring. Additionally, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is unique in its comprehensive tissue characterizatio…

Persistent Microvascular Obstruction After Myocardial Infarction Culminates in the Confluence of Ferric Iron Oxide Crystals, Proinflammatory Burden, and Adverse Remodeling Open
Background— Emerging evidence indicates that persistent microvascular obstruction (PMO) is more predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events than myocardial infarct (MI) size. But it remains unclear how PMO, a phenomenon limited to th…

Cardiac magnetic resonance in clinical cardiology Open
Over the last decades, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has transformed from a research tool to a widely used diagnostic method in clinical cardiology. This method can now make useful, unique contributions to the work-up of patients with i…
