PP98. Suboptimal Medical Management in Vascular Patients

Medical Management: Portosystemic Vascular Anomalies (psva)

Sharon Center, DVM, DACVIM College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Key Points • Medical management improves clinical status of PSVA dogs before surgical intervention but must be individually titrated for each patient because of differences in shunting severity • Protein intake must avoid a negative nitrogen achieved by titrating allowances to maximum tolerance starting at...

vascular injuries: trends in management

abstract vascular injury presents a great challenge to the emergency resident because these injuries require urgent intervention to prevent loss of life or limb. sometimes serious vascular injury presents with only subtle or occult signs or symptoms. the patient may present weeks or months after initial injury with symptoms of vascular insufficiency, embolization, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous ...

Suboptimal cardiovascular risk factor identification and management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cohort analysis

INTRODUCTION Accelerated cardiovascular (CV) disease significantly contributes to increased mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, with a risk comparable to the one observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Part of this enhanced risk in RA is attributed to traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs). The aims of this study were to determine how often traditional CRFs...

Suboptimal consideration and management of potential familial hypercholesterolaemia in patients with suspected premature coronary artery disease.

INTRODUCTION Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene, resulting in high levels of LDL cholesterol and premature coronary artery disease (P-CAD). Studies have shown low detection rates of FH in patients admitted with P-CAD and suboptimal therapy at discharge. METHODS Males aged ≤ 55 years and females age...
