Managing Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Case Study
Acute coronary syndrome is a term used to state lots of conditions related to sudden reduction of blood flow to the heart. One such condition is heart attack (myocardial infarction). As the reduction of blood flow changes the heart function and puts the heart at high risk. It shows symptoms like chest pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting, indigestion and shortness of breath, heavy sweating, dizziness, fatigue and restlessness.However,the sings and symptoms can depend on the age,sex and other medical conditions. However, signs and symptoms may vary significantly depending on your age, sex and other medical conditions.

Infective Endocarditis: Diagnosis and Management
Infective endocarditis (IE) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis, effective treatment, and prompt recognition of complications are essential to good patient outcomes. Therapy of IE caused by the more commonly encountered organisms, including streptococci, enterococci, staphylococci, and the HACEK organisms (Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Actinobacillus [Haemophilus] actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella species, and Kingella species). Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of IE.
Echocardiography in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Non-invasive imaging, particularly echocardiography, plays a central role in the evaluation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography helps to rule in HFpEF among patients with unexplained dyspnea when the diagnosis is uncertain. In established HFpEF, echocardiography provides important insights into pathophysiology and phenotyping, such as isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, left atrial dysfunction, abnormal right ventricular- pulmonary artery coupling, ischemia, or obesity phenotypes
TAVR- Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
A "sternotomy," in which the chest is surgically divided (opened) for the procedure, is typically required for valve replacement. All of the chest bones can remain in place when the TAVR or TAVI procedures are performed through extremely small incisions. There are two methods that can be used. Using a minimally invasive surgical approach with a small chest incision and entering through a large artery in the chest or through the tip of the left ventricle (the apex), which is known as the transapical approach, or through the femoral artery (large artery in the groyne), the transfemoral approach, which does not require a surgical incision in the chest.
