BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Few studies have compared clinical outcomes after catheter ablation between patients with and those without DM.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare AF in DM.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis 351 consecutive who underwent first-time ablation. Clinical included freedom from recurrent arrhythmia, symptom burden (Mayo Symptom Inventory score), cardiovascular all-cause...
For decades, a precept was passed down by academic physicians to trainees and staff as guideline for inpatient care of patients with diabetes. That bit wisdom held that it is best “keep the patient little sweet.” The Diabetes Control Complications Trial1 U.K. Prospective Study2 showed ability intensified control reduce microvascular complications Despite increased risk hypoglycemia, these trials changed practice patterns in ambulatory settings favor intensification diabetes therapy. Among...
Study Objective To evaluate the impact of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and advanced chronic systolic heart failure. Design Retrospective medical record review. Setting Large academic tertiary quaternary care hospital. Patients Eighty-three adults failure who underwent a LVAD between July 1, 2008, June 30, 2013. Measurements Main Results Baseline demographic data laboratory values pertinent to...
To assess whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was associated with increased rotor burden among atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. We studied 33 consecutive patients who were scheduled for focal impulse and modulation (FIRM) ablation at our institution to describe the mapping, ablation, outcomes, without OSA. Patients underwent biatrial FIRM mapping in AF of stable rotors addition conventional lesion sets. Differences between groups tested student's t-tests Fisher's exact tests, as...

Dofetilide, a class III antiarrhythmic agent, is prescribed for conversion to and maintenance of normal sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or flutter. Most antiarrhythmics have significant toxicities such as torsade de pointes, should be closely monitored while receiving therapy. However, we know no reports concerning management intentional overdose dofetilide that been published. We report the case 33‐year‐old man who was treated ingestion approximately 5 mg...
Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections have high mortality and morbidity. CIED secondary to gram-negative pathogens are rare, there few data regarding their treatment. We report a case of 60-year-old male who developed recurrent Salmonella enteritidis bacteremia leading infection nonsusceptibility ciprofloxacin.
The optimal way of pacing in patients with an indication for and concomitant first-degree atrioventricular (AV)-block is not known, consequently, firm guidelines on this topic are lacking. This study explored the current pacemaker programming pattern AV-block who have a dual chamber without cardiac resynchronization.The was retrospective chart review conducted at Duke University Hospital. Patients receiving due to sinus node dysfunction coexistent were studied. Baseline demographics...
