Electronic cigarettes (E-Cigs) have been advertised as a safer alternative to smoking. However, E-Cigs use, like smoking, delivers ultra-small aerosol particles, which may be associated with cardiovascular disease. This study aimed look into the association between use and disease outcomes. The involved self-reported data from 16,855 participants National Health Interview Survey years 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018. Results logistic regression analysis report users had higher odds of having...
Background The impact of medical record-based frailty assessment on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing revascularization for critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is unknown. Methods and Results This study included with CLTI aged ≥18 years from the nationwide readmissions database 2016 to 2018 who underwent endovascular (ER) or surgical (SR). hospital risk score, a previously validated International Classification Diseases, Tenth Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)...
Introduction Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes hospitalization and readmissions. Approximately six million Americans are living with HF. Among patients HF, rate in United States higher for those over age 65, making it leading this group. Furthermore, about 15% who were hospitalized HF readmitted within 30 days 30% 60 days. chronic kidney disease (CKD) share many risk factors; therefore, expected that CKD more prevalent About 50% also have concomitant CKD. Those been found...
Introduction. Combustible cigarette use is associated with an increased risk of several cardiovascular diseases; however, less known about associations between these conditions and electronic use. Methods. This study investigated relationships and/or combustible diagnoses diseases using the National Health Interview Survey from 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018. Results. Compared to non-users, dual users cigarettes had likelihood having prior hypertension (OR 1.660, 95% CI=1.519-1.814), stroke 2.396,...
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a genetic anomaly where the wall replaced by thick trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses held together thin compacted layer. We present case of 26-year-old male who presented dyspnea on exertion and edema in his legs for last one week.
Introduction: Mortality estimates from sepsis and septic shock ranged 18% to 35% 40% 60%, respectively, prior 2014. Sepsis patients who experience subsequent cardiovascular events have increased mortality; however, data are limited among patients. This study reports in-hospital mortality, incident events, procedures with without shock. Methods: Patients a primary diagnosis of secondary were identified the 2016 2017 National Readmissions Database. These then evaluated for occurrence...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality risk. The risk for adverse outcomes in patients PAH sepsis or septic shock (SSS) uncertain.Adult diagnosed SSS were identified the National Readmissions Database over years 2016-2017. A 2:1 ratio nearest propensity matching method was employed several demographic, social, clinical variables. In-hospital compared between those without, using t-test chi-squared test as appropriate. Patients cardiogenic...
Purpose: Septic shock (SS) manifests with profound circulatory and cellular metabolism abnormalities has a high in-hospital mortality (25%-50%). Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients have underlying dysfunction compromised cardiac reserve that may place them at increased risk if they develop sepsis. Outcomes in CHF who are admitted SS not been well studied. Materials Method: Retrospective cross sectional secondary analysis of the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) for 2016 2017. ICD-10...
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a form of reversible cardiomyopathy. It usually due to sudden emotional or physical stress. associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation and catecholamine release. Patients have very similar presentation an acute coronary syndrome patent coronaries. We present case takotsubo in patient who has history Sjogren ' s disease on steroid taper. Cardiol Res. 2018;9(6):378-380 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/cr759w
Drug abuse is an increasing concern all over the world especially in United States. Methamphetamine have been well established to cause elevated body temperature, irregular heartbeat, seizures, and heart disease. We present a case of ventricular thrombus with systemic emboli patient dilated cardiomyopathy after methamphetamine use.
There is paucity of information on the incidence, clinical characteristics, admission trends, and outcomes hypertensive crisis (HTN-C) in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who are maintenance dialysis.We conducted a retrospective observational study HTN-C admissions using United States Renal Data System. We identified aged ≥18 years dialysis were hospitalized for from January 2006 to August 2015.A total 54 483 during period. After exclusions, 37 214 included analysis. A majority...
