Depending on their form and location, amyloid deposits can produce a variety of clinical manifestations resulting in considerable morbidity, death, and a deterioration in quality of life. \"Cardiac amyloidosis\" refers to the clinical condition associated with cardiac amyloid infiltration of the heart. The American College of Cardiology has issued an expert consensus addressing cardiological management of cardiac amyloidosis, the need for an interdisciplinary approach to extra-cardiac manifestations and highlighting the importance of removing barriers to equitable care for patients with amyloidosis. In this editorial we summarize and discuss on relevant issues addressed in the consensus.","PeriodicalId":32453,"journal":{"name":"Heart Vessels and Transplantation","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76079475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through double standards and prejudice in society, due to the color of his skin, his accomplishments were not duly recognized. Together with the physician Alfred Blalock (1899-1964) and cardiologist Helen Taussig (1898-1986), Vivien Thomas developed a method of arterial shunting that helped to save the lives of thousands of children with congenital \"blue baby\" heart defects, including tetralogy of Fallot. Thomas was the first to perform a successful shunt operation on a dog's heart (1944) and also produced the necessary tools for its successful implementation. Only at the age of 60 did he receive recognition for his years of work and was awarded a doctoral degree. He became the first Black person whose portrait was hung at Johns Hopkins University alongside presidents and professors of the university. His story inspired the creation of the films \"Something the Lord Made\" (2004) and \"Partners of the Heart\" (2003). This article aims to shed light on the unrecognized contributions of Vivien Thomas and to call for the addition of his name to the Blalock-ThomasTaussig shunt, which would be a just recognition of his contributions to the history of medicine, despite the skin color.","PeriodicalId":32453,"journal":{"name":"Heart Vessels and Transplantation","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135474313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Subclavian coronary steal syndrome in a post coronary artery bypass grafting patient: A case report","authors":"Rujuta Parikh, J. Shah, Abhishek Shah, R. Charaniya","doi":"10.24969/hvt.2023.385","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24969/hvt.2023.385","url":null,"abstract":": Objective: “Subclavian coronary steal” refers to diversion of blood flow from coronary bed to subclavian artery. In patients receiving internal mammary grafts during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), aorta and its proximal branches become part of coronary circulation. Atherosclerotic occlusion of subclavian artery can manifest as subclavian coronary steal syndrome and patients may present with angina, myocardial infarction and even sudden cardiac death. The objective of our case report is to identify and present important non-conventional causes of angina for better management of patients. Case presentation: A 50-year-old, hypertensive, male patient with a prior history of having undergone CABG, presented with CCS class III angina of one-month duration. He was found to have a completely occluded left subclavian artery from origin with retrograde flow of blood in left internal mammary artery from coronary to subclavian artery. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting to subclavian artery was performed. Antegrade flow was established and coronary steal through left internal mammarian artery graft was thus abolished with subsequent resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: We have presented a case of refractory angina in post coronary artery bypass grafting patient who was eventually treated with percutaneous stent implantation to treat the subclavian stenosis; and had complete resolution of symptoms post intervention. Take home message: Patients undergoing CABG should be screened for a possible asymptomatic subclavian stenosis that may become symptomatic after CABG. Also, subclavian coronary steal syndrome should be suspected in patients presenting with refractory angina post CABG.","PeriodicalId":32453,"journal":{"name":"Heart Vessels and Transplantation","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85388512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growth (drawdown) rate was calculated using the least-squares method to align the time series. A comparative analysis of the rates was carried out by calculating the long-term average annual level of incidence by gender and age. Ethical approval was not necessary for the preparation of this article.\u0000\u0000Results: The most common type of stroke registered for the population of Bishkek was ischemic stroke (IS) (68.5%), followed by hemorrhagic stroke (HS) (21.4%) and cryptogenic stroke (10.1%). During the analyzed period of time there has been a moderate decrease in the incidence of IS (4,0%) and a notable decrease of HS (9,0%) and cryptogenic (26,9%) strokes. As for stroke mortality in long-term dynamics, we could observe an essential decrease in this indicator in all strokes (IS-13.0%, HS 13.6%, cryptogenic ones-37.7%).\u0000\u0000The most remarkable risk factor for stroke was arterial hypertension (86.5%). Cardiovascular pathology of another origin was detected in 32.7% of patients.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Our results further help to understand what changes have been in the long-term dynamics of the incidence and mortality of stroke in Kyrgyzstan, in relation to which risk factors for stroke should be taken more action. There is a need to continue to strengthen prevention at the population level, to assess and manage the risk of cardiovascular disease in primary healthcare. Such measures will help prevent complications and support efforts to prevent relapse and disability.\u0000","PeriodicalId":32453,"journal":{"name":"Heart Vessels and Transplantation","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76900489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
