Cardiac Testing

The complete evaluation of the cardiovascular patient begins with a thorough history and a detailed physical examination. These two initial steps will often lead to the correct diagnosis and assist in excluding life-threatening conditions. The history and physical examination findings should be assessed in the overall clinical status of the patient, including the patient's specific complaints, lifestyle, comorbidities, and treatment expectations. This chapter discusses the cardiovascular conditions that frequently require evaluation: chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, syncope, claudication, and cardiac murmurs; and reviews the background, history and physical examination, and diagnostic tests available for each. Diagnostic algorithms are provided, and the appropriate use of invasive and noninvasive cardiac testing for each condition is discussed. This review contains 8 highly rendered figures, 12 tables, and 52 references.

Oxidative Processes

In the problem of the pathogenesis of cardiac decompensation, we are currently interested not only in issues of hemodynamics. It is known that a cardiovascular patient has various metabolic disorders, carbohydrate and protein metabolism suffers, basal metabolism and acid-base balance are disturbed, and undeoxidized metabolic products appear in the blood in excess. In the light of these data, it is of interest to solve the problem of the state of oxidative processes in the tissues of a cardiovascular patient.

Sedative Agents

In the current era, cardiovascular intensive care units care for more complex patients who are far sicker than historical post-myocardial infarction patients, and sedation has become a common intervention in these units. Current sedation best practices derive mainly from non-cardiac units which limits their generalization to the critically ill cardiac patient. Thus, a great variability in sedation protocols, especially the selection of sedative agents, is commonly seen in daily practice across cardiac units. We present an updated review on sedation in cardiovascular critical care medicine with emphasis on the hemodynamic impact. The goal of this review is to generate a general sedation algorithm specific for the cardiac patient.
