Mashup Score: 7Acute Heart Valve Emergencies - 4 day(s) ago
Within the cardiac intensive care unit, prompt recognition of severe acute valvular lesions is essential because hemodynamic collapse can occur rapidly, especially when cardiac chambers have not had time for compensatory remodeling. Within this context, optimal medical management, considerations for temporary mechanical circulatory support and decisive treatments strategies are addressed. Fundamental concepts include an appreciation for how sudden changes in flow and pressure gradients between cardiac chambers can impact hemodynamic and echocardiographic findings differently compared to similarly severe chronic lesions, as well as understanding the main causes for decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock for each valvular abnormality.

Mashup Score: 4Management of arrythmias during pregnancy - 4 day(s) ago
### Learning objectives A sensation of abnormal or irregular heart beating is a very common symptom in pregnancy. This is often secondary to sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia, or isolated premature atrial or ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). The overall incidence of arrhythmia documented in pregnancy is reported to be in the range of 0.03%–0.5% of pregnancies,1 making this one of the most common cardiac complications of pregnancy, in women with and without structural heart disease.2–4 The incidence of arrhythmia in pregnancy is increasing, a rise attributable to the increase in the proportion of women with structural heart disease achieving successful pregnancies in the last decade.5 Clinical evaluation of the symptomatic pregnant patient begins with a careful history, detailing the timing of onset of symptoms, frequency and potential exacerbating factors. A careful family history, probing for a history of unexplained sudden death, heart failure, cardiac transplant
