Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) revascularization poses a distinct technical challenge with increased risk of periprocedural complications without certain benefits. Literature looking into Long term effects in patients Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is limited. We looked at readmissions as marker for long effect. Nationwide Readmissions Database 2020 was queried to identify adults CTO-VT and (PCI or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) using ICD-10 CM PCS codes. All acute myocardial infarction were...
Background Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) increases propensity for premature atherosclerotic disease. Knowledge of inpatient outcomes among patients with FH admitted acute myocardial injury (AMI) is limited. Objectives Our study aimed to identify types, including type 1 infarction (MI), 2 MI and takotsubo cardiomyopathy, assess lesion severity adverse short-term AMI. Setting retrospectively queried the US National Inpatient Sample from 2018 2020. Population Adults AMI dichotomised based...
Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recognized as a class I indication treatment for patients with high-grade Atrioventricular (AV) blocks, infra-Hisian conduction and symptomatic sinus node diseases such bradycardia. There remains scarcity of data regarding the impact dialysis-dependent End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on PPM outcomes, particularly in terms readmission rates. We aim to evaluate short-term readmissions ESRD post-PPM placement, utilizing from National...
Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement (TMVR ViV) is becoming a favorable, less invasive procedure among high-risk patients to manage valve dysfunction. We aimed investigate the trends of predictors and outcomes procedure.
Background: Familiar hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder affecting lipoprotein metabolism which strongly associated with early atherosclerosis. Our resolve in this study to evaluate the severity of coronary lesions ,complexity acute interventions and clinical outcomes. Hypothesis: Patients familiar are relatively younger, have high atheroma burden less comorbidities, thus likely complex atherosclerosis but paradoxical better prognosis. Method: A retrospective cohort data from 2016...
Background: Thrombocytopenia is known to be a marker of adverse clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndromes, pulmonary hypertension and critically ill patients. Its impact on heart failure (HF) patients has not been well characterized. We aim compare the admitted for HF with without thrombocytopenia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed using data obtained from 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Adult (age >18) principal diagnosis Heart Failure were...
Abstract Disclosure: E. Krishnaraju: None. K.N. Patolia: U.A. Ogar: S. Karki: A.G. Olafimihan: Introduction: Hemichorea-Hemiballismus syndrome (HCHB) associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia is a rare cause of acute to subacute acquired chorea. The usually characterized by unilateral choreiform movements, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, and striatal abnormalities on an MRI the brain. Clinical Case: This case 70-year-old man history congestive heart failure, hypertension, remote ischemic...
Background: Advanced chronic kidney disease (advanced CKD) patients have several metabolic, immunologic, and hemodynamic derangements that can negatively impact the natural history of cardiac disease. Some efficacious treatments for acute pericarditis such as colchicine NSAIDS may not be well tolerated by advanced CKD patients. Hypothesis: portend worse outcomes based on clinical severity likely higher side effect among hospitalized with pericarditis. Method: A retrospective cohort study...
Background: The percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) rate continues to increase nationwide, and better strategies achieve negligible complication rates are required. Data on risk assessment specific cardiovascular complications limited. Hypothesis: presence of systolic dysfunction is associated with increased frequency adverse outcomes periprocedural among patients undergoing angioplasty. Method: A retrospective cohort study was designed using data obtained from the 2016...
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) rate continues to ascend nationwide as per the transcatheter therapy registry, and this calls for even better strategies aim negligible complication rates. Current practice relies on surgically derived risk models. We set out assess impact of systolic dysfunction perioperative cardiovascular adverse events. Hypothesis: The presence is associated with increased frequency poorer outcomes periprocedural events among patients undergoing...
Regorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that used in the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant metastatic colorectal carcinoma. However, inhibitors have been known to cause cardiac side effects, most notably hypertension. Myocardial ischemia a very extraordinary adverse effect regorafenib. Our patient was 74-year-old gentleman with stage IVa colon cancer who underwent right colectomy end ileostomy and on cycle two regorafenib during presentation. He came acute onset chest pain...
Introduction: The prevalence of hypertension and obesity has been soaring, emerging as major global health problems. Similarly, optimal management in obese individuals a perpetual struggle due to barriers accurate diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, primarily complex body habitus intricate underlying pathological facets. Methods: National Inpatient Sample database (NIS) 2020 was employed identify hospitalizations with Hypertensive crisis which were further dichotomized based on Co-morbid using...
Introduction: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy often presents as acute myocardial infarction (MI) due to reversible cardiac dysfunction caused by catecholaminergic surge. Hypothesis: Is there any difference in the short-term outcomes of patients who present with MI accompanied cardiomyopathy when compared alone. Methods:: National Inpatient Sample Database 2016-2019 was queried for Primary ICD code and secondary Cardiomyopathy. The in-patient mortality primary outcome whereas CVA, CHF Arrythmias...
Introduction: COVID-19 infection notably impacts the cardiovascular system, with evidence of higher in-hospital mortality in patients acute heart failure (AHF) and infection. However, less is known about short-term outcomes following discharge. Therefore, we sought to analyze readmission data hospitalizations AHF from National Readmission Database (NRD). Methods: NRD (2020) was queried identify all co-existing using ICD-10 CM codes. The group then stratified into reduced ejection fraction...
Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy where local deposition of amyloid fibrils causes heart failure, arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities. Involvement the AV nodal infra-hisian increases need for a permanent pacemaker (PPM). Studies have noted worse outcomes in patients with implantable-cardioverter defibrillator placement amyloidosis, but comparison PPM lacking. We sought to analyze readmissions CA following utilizing National Readmission...
