Reactive Oxygen Species In Acute Coronary Syndrome, Fernando Cisneros, Alex Zuo
Research Symposium
Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have diverse functions in biomedicine, providing roles in cellular metabolism and signaling while posing a threat to cellular components through oxidative damage. This poster explores the significance of ROS in various cardiovascular diseases, specifically hypertension, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction, all of which are associated with acute coronary syndrome which are the conditions and symptoms caused by ischemia. We have studied over 30 most recent or related literature to the topic and determine important roles of ROS in cardiovascular disease. Correlations have linked ROS culprits, particularly upregulation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) 2 and NOX 4, with …

North Texas Research Forum 2024
Background: Acute coronary syndrome patients presenting with Cardiogenic shock carry a very high mortality risk >70% without appropriate intervention in a timely fashion. Here we present a patient requiring an axial pump mechanical circulatory support despite having an apical thrombus. Case report: 55-year-old male with past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and medication noncompliance was transferred from outside facility for high risk ACS with EKG showing ST segment elevation in inferior and anterolateral leads. Lab showed hsTroponin more than 125K, BG 556, HCO3 17, and Beta hydroxybutyrate of 41.87 indicating DKA. Emergent coronary angiography showed mid LAD artery …
