Current Problems in Cardiology RSS feed: Current Issue. For more than 20 years, Current Problems in Cardiology has provided focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. In most monthly issues, authors address a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation. Other issues explore the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research. 2009 Topics , Vol. 34 January Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia: From Bedside to Bench and Beyond Michael Eldar, MD, Michael Arad, MD, and Guy Katz, MD February Aldosterone and Cardiovascular Disease Krishna K.

There was a short period in the 1970s when it was considered due to an embolus on the basis of one pathologic study. The emboli theory was never seriously accepted and was completely discarded based on: (1) a study of coronary arteriographic findings and (2) the success of thrombolytic therapy.ForewordShahbudin H.

Clinically, platelet-rich thrombi underlie acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). Current therapies have improved outcomes, however, often at the expense of increased risk of bleeding. With the increase in our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of ACSs, newer targets for antiplatelet therapies continue to emerge. Novel antiplatelet agents may provide even greater reductions in ischemic events with the potential for less bleeding. This article reviews the evidence for current antiplatelet agents in ACSs as well as for the newer agents in later phases of clinical testing.Antiplatelet Agents in Acute Coronary SyndromesRahul Sakhuja, Robert W.
