Sybrava (siRNA): The Next Marathon in ASCVD Management

Sybrava For decades, cardiologists have focused on one goal: lowering LDL cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Yet despite high-intensity statins, ezetimibe, and lifestyle modification, many patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) still fail to achieve guideline-recommended LDL-C targets. The question is no longer: “Should we lower LDL cholesterol?” The real question […]

Rotablation balloon uncrossable lesion

Rotablation!! “The balloon can’t cross…” Not all heart blockages are soft. Some are rock hard with calcium — so severe that even balloons and stents struggle to pass through. That’s where Rotablation comes in. A tiny high-speed diamond burr drills through the calcium to open the artery safely. From “impossible lesion” → successful stenting. Advanced […]

难忘的一晚: Primary PCI

Primary PCI 那天半夜,急诊部门的一通电话把我从睡梦中惊醒—— 一位病人突发严重心脏病! 我立刻赶往医院。抵达时,病人的儿子焦急地告诉我,他的母亲在车上已经没有反应了…… 当我看到她的心跳高达160次/分钟,我知道情况非常危急。我如实告诉他风险极高,而当时其他兄弟姐妹都在新加坡,所有决定只能由他一人承担。 那一刻,他的无助与挣扎,让人心疼。 在时间紧迫、生死一线之间,我们决定立即进行紧急冠状动脉介入治疗(Primary Angioplasty)。手术中成功打通了一条阻塞的血管,并将她送入加护病房继续观察。 然而,挑战才刚开始。在ICU里,我们发现她合并糖尿病酮症酸中毒(DKA),必须紧急处理。同时为她置入中心静脉导管与动脉导管,以进行更严密的监测与治疗。 随后,她又出现了克雷伯氏肺炎杆菌(Klebsiella pneumoniae)菌血症,不得不延长住院时间,接受抗生素治疗。 一关接一关,但她始终坚强地走过来了。 直到今天,她完全康复,带着笑容顺利出院。 临走前,她对我说:“您是我的救命恩人!!” 还送了我一束花表达她的感激之情。 那一刻,我深深感受到—— 作为一名医生,最珍贵的礼物,从来不是物质上的回馈,而是看到病人重获新生,带着笑容回家的那一刻。 这,才是我们最大的成就与幸福!!
