Aortic Dissection After TAVI What is the Real Risk?

Delayed aortic dissection post-TAVI is a rare but catastrophic complication demanding heightened vigilance. This case underscores the need for rigorous follow-up imaging protocols, especially in patients with pre-existing aortic vulnerabilities.

Atrial Fibrillation: A Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) should be seen as more than just an isolated arrhythmia; it's deeply intertwined with cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. This perspective demands a shift towards holistic patient assessment and management to address interconnected risks.

Genetics and Genomics Nursing Competencies: A Systemic Gap?

Many nurses lack sufficient knowledge and positive attitudes toward genetics and genomics, hindering optimal patient care. Addressing this gap requires systematic changes in nursing education, credentialing, and continuing professional development.

Surgical Endodontics: A Case of Periradicular Actinomycosis

Periradicular actinomycosis, a rare bacterial infection, can mimic other dental pathologies, leading to diagnostic delays. This case highlights the importance of surgical intervention and histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Atrial Fibrillation's Hidden Web: Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Risk

Patients with atrial fibrillation frequently present with a cluster of cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) risk factors, complicating management and worsening outcomes. On your next clinic day, implementing a standardized CKM risk assessment could help you identify high-risk patients who need more intensive interventions.
