Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma and stroke. Echocardiographic diagnosis and guide to excision.

TL;DR: A young male patient who had a stroke due to a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma is described, and not only did preoperative echocardiography establish the diagnosis, but intraoperative transesophageal two-dimensional echOCardiography was utilized to guide tumor excision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription factor MEF2A mutations in patients with coronary artery disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that CAD/MI can result from a spectrum of MEF2A transcription dysfunctions ranging from loss-of-function to dominant-negative suppression and that a significant percent of the CAD/ MI population may carry mutations in MEF 2A, although further definition of the prevalence is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term mortality benefit with the combination of stents and abciximab for cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Treatment with the combination of stent and abciximab resulted in higher procedural Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 3 flow rates and a long-term mortality benefit in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective alleles and modifier variants in human health and disease

TL;DR: By delineating the genomic factors that are protective against disease, there is potential to derive highly effective, genomically anchored medicines that assist in maintaining health.
