In patients with end stage renal disease and atrial fibrillation (AF), undergoing chronic dialysis, direct oral agents are contraindicated warfarin does not fully prevent embolic events while increasing the bleeding risk. The high hemorrhagic risk represents main problem in this population. Aim of study was to estimate safety efficacy for thromboembolic prevention left appendage (LAA) occlusion a cohort dialysis AF
Virtual reality offers a multisensory experience to patients, allowing them hear, watch, and interact in virtual environment. Immersive is particularly suitable for the purpose of completely isolating patients from external environment transport away suffering related disease. On this state art, we summarize available literature on effectiveness various physical psychological outcomes with atherosclerotic cardiovascular has been employed field settings such as cardiac rehabilitation,...
Introduction Primary immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by variable immune-mediated platelet destruction. These patients have reported thrombotic complications, both venous and arterial, in addition to bleeding. Splenectomy thrombopoietin receptor agonists are recommended for who do not respond steroids or immunosuppressive treatments. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension a rare disease that results from persistent, organized obstruction of the...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults and associated with an increased risk of embolic stroke. The main prevention strategy for cerebral events based on use oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has demonstrated non-inferiority to OAT clinical trials stroke non-valvular (NVAF). Patients NVAF may still suffer ischemic strokes despite receiving adequate OAT.The physiopathological substrate remains unclear only few theories can be...
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in end stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients undergoing dialysis is high, however, the high risk bleeding often hampers with a correct anticoagulation ESKD AF, despite thromboembolic risk. Left appendage (LAA) occlusion (OAT) for thromboembolism prevention AF populations hemorrhagic Methods and Results purpose study was to evaluate efficacy safety LAA cohort procedure (LAA cohort, n = 106), comparison two other cohorts, one taking...
To compare outcomes of patients who underwent left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) for nonvalvular fibrillation (NVAF) and contraindication to anticoagulants due history either gastrointestinal (GI) or intracranial (IC) bleeding.Patients with NVAF that LAAO GI IC bleeding from seven centers were included in this observational study. Baseline characteristics, procedural features, follow-up data collected, compared between the two groups. The primary incidence ischemic hemorrhagic events at...
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in high bleeding risk patients suffering fibrillation (AF) and analyze different antithrombotic therapies following intervention.This monocentric included 68 with nonvalvular AF an absolute contraindication OAT or at risk. Follow-up done a clinical visit 3-6-12 months.Successful LAAO achieved 67/68 patients. At discharge, 32/68 were on dual antiplatelet therapy (APT), 34/68 without any single drug,...
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) avoid complications secondary to transvenous leads, but inappropriate shocks (ISs) are frequent. Furthermore, IS data from patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) an S-ICD scarce.We aimed establish the frequency and predictors of in this population.We analyzed clinical electrocardiographic characteristics, automated screening test data, device programming, occurrence adult BrS S-ICD.Thirty-nine were enrolled (69% male, mean age at...
Background Chronic diseases have a negative impact on quality of life (QOL) and psychological health. There are limited related data regarding this topic in Brugada syndrome (BrS). We evaluated the effects diagnosis BrS health-related QOL status among patients their relatives. Methods Patients with relatives underwent evaluation at (T0), 1 2 years after (T1 T2) using questionnaires mental QOL, anxiety, depression, stress, post-traumatic resilience resources. Results Sixty-one 39 were...
A paucity of studies addressed sex-related differences in clinical outcomes the long term following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous intervention (PCI). In these patients, it remains uncertain whether heart failure (HF) might exert a differential impact on prognosis term.
Abstract Background While increased body mass index (BMI) is an established risk factor, the residual associated with visceral fat, remains a concern. We aimed to perform Mendelian randomization explore causal relationship between fat and of coronary artery disease (CAD), aiming address gaps left by observational studies that may be influenced confounding factors reverse causation. Methods Leveraging large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) databases, we identified single-nucleotide...
Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are two common diseases in elderly populations. Despite the effectiveness of oral anticoagulant therapy cardioembolic stroke prevention, intracranial hemorrhage represents most serious complication these therapies. Cerebral is one main risk factors for spontaneous bleeding, this highly increased by age concomitant antithrombotic can be silent years then manifest with clinical features simulating TIA (TIA-mimics) or...
Background. In the setting of coronary artery dissection, both spontaneous and iatrogenic, fixing intimal tear, usually with stent implantation, can be extremely challenging if distal wire position has been lost. Common complications are mainly related to inadvertent subintimal tracking guidewire while attempting gain true lumen. Aims. To report registry results using SUOH 0.3 for managing dissection in a real-world multicenter setting. Methods. The study population this retrospective,...
