Nursing professionals are not for everyone.

Nurses are amazing, wonderful, brilliant!

Nurses are the professionals who make any healthcare system work. Nurses you play a vital role in providing care, comfort, and support to patients during many of their most significant and often most challenging life experiences.

I love nursing because nursing professional is leading us to new opportunities and experiences that will enrich our lives, our careers, and the patients we serve.

PCI

 What is the goal for PCI when treating a patient?

The goal of PCI in these patients is to keep neurological function intact to increase survival.

Amiodarone

 Amiodarone is a medication that prevents and treats arrhythmia. This is a condition that causes a fast or irregular heartbeat. It slows down overactive electric signals in your heart. This stabilizes your heart's rhythm. Brand names of this medication are Cordarone® and Pacerone®.

While the United States FDA has labeled amiodarone for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, the drug is commonly used off-label to treat supraventricular tachyarrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation as well as for the prevention of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) in high-risk patients.Feb 6, 2023

Multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD)

 Multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) is defined as luminal stenosis of at least 70% in at least two major coronary arteries or in one coronary artery in addition to a 50% or greater stenosis of the left main trunk.

Given that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) both effectively revascularize the myocardium, there has been ardent study of and debate over the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with MVD. 

In some randomized trials comparing revascularization strategies for patients with diabetes, coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has had a better outcome than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 

Drug-eluting stents (DES) are vascular prostheses used by interventional cardiologists to reopen and maintain patent coronary arteries narrowed by arteriosclerosis. 

The history of interventional cardiology began with balloon angioplasty in 1977. Sigwart et al. introduced the first bare metal stent (BMS) in 1986. 

CONCLUSIONS

For patients with diabetes and advanced coronary artery disease, CABG was superior to PCI in that it significantly reduced rates of death and myocardial infarction, with a higher rate of stroke.

What are the two types of PCI?

Types of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

• Balloon angioplasty: Some catheters feature tiny, folded balloons on their tips. ...
• Angioplasty with stent: In addition to balloon treatment, we generally place a stent, a tiny mesh tube that we expand and leave behind to keep the artery open.

What does normal EF mean?

Ejection fraction is measured as a percentage of the total amount of blood in your heart that is pumped out with each heartbeat. A normal ejection fraction is 50 percent or higher. An ejection fraction below 40 percent means your heart isn't pumping enough blood and may be failing.Apr 13, 2022
