VA ECMO Increases Afterload

Post category:CardioNerds Infographics Critical Care Heart Failure and Transplantation

VA ECMO Increases Afterload This infographic illustrates the hemodynamic effects of VA ECMO (veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) on left ventricular performance, focusing on the pressure-volume (P-V) loop and the implications of increased afterload. P-V Loop at Different ECMO FlowsThe diagram shows how higher ECMO flow rates increase afterload, limiting left…

Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis

Post category:CardioNerds Infographics Pericardial Disease

This infographic breaks down the different responses of the heart muscle to myocardial ischemia, from early reversible states to irreversible damage. This infographic dives into the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of effusive-constrictive pericarditis through five essential questions: How does pericardial tamponade lead to hypotension? Pericardial pressure rises, reducing diastolic filling…

Spectrum of Responses to Myocardial Ischemia

Post category:CardioNerds Infographics Coronary Artery Disease

Spectrum of Responses to Myocardial Ischemia by Dr. Hussain Khalid

This infographic breaks down the different responses of the heart muscle to myocardial ischemia, from early reversible states to irreversible damage. The spectrum begins with acute ischemia, which, if prolonged and severe, can lead to myocardial necrosis (non-viable tissue, forming a scar). Necrosis is marked by calcium overload and oxygen…

COVID-19 Cardiovascular Implications

Post category:CardioNerds Infographics

COVID-19 Cardiovascular Implications, updated 1.20.21

This infographic explores the cardiovascular risks linked to viral infections, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on heart health. It outlines complications such as pericarditis, myocarditis, acute heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, and arrhythmias. A key component of the infographic is the role of the ACE-2 receptor, which facilitates viral…
