- Unprotected significant LMCA disease - heart team discussion between interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon to select best treatment option is the recommended approach
- Substernal chest pressure provoked by eating relieved by sublingual nitroglycerin - Atypical angina
- Viral myocarditis rapidly progress, hypotension, bradycardia, severe LV dysfunction - perform endomyocardial biopsy and consult cardiac surgery regarding mechanical circulatory support
- Risk factor for intracranial haemorrhage in patients receiving fibrinolytic are HTN, body weight, age, concomitant anticoagulation, use of alteplase
- Early defibrillation is associated with favourable neurologic outcomes in out-of-hospital arrests
- Unfractionated heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, fibrinolytic therapy may be effective in pulmonary embolism even at 2 weeks after onset of symptoms
- CPK greater than 10 times ULN, statin should be stopped
- NSAIDs can cause hypertension difficult-to-control
- Systemic vascular resistance decreases during normal pregnancy
- Very low EF, severe 3V CAD - PET scan to assess viability before proceeding with CABG or PCI
