The "weekend effect" has been associated with worse clinical outcomes. Our aim was to compare off-hours vs. regular-hours peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in cardiogenic shock patients.
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> The reliability of the recommended echocardiographic methods for assessing RV diastolic function has been questioned. We aimed to validate noninvasive indices function, derived from tricuspid Doppler and myocardial deformation metrics, against intrinsic chamber properties filling pressures. <bold>Methods</bold> obtained simultaneous high-fidelity pressure-volume loops data in separate animal clinical settings: 1) a porcine model acute...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Previous studies have described a circadian pattern of death from cardiovascular causes with morning peak. Our aim is to describe the daytime oscillations in mortality hospitalized patients diseases. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> retrospective registry including all who died Cardiology Department, cardiac intensive care unit, Madrid, Spain. <b><i>Results:</i></b> From total 500 patients, time was...
Background: Previous studies suggest variability in the management of cardiogenic shock (CS). Methods: An anonymous survey was sent to Spanish hospitals. Results: We obtained 50 answers, mainly from cardiologists (36–72%). The annual average ECMOs is 16.7 ± 11.3 applications CS patients and Impellas 8.7 8.3 patients. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation used majority (31–62%), Impella 7 (14%). In 36 (72%) cases, ECMO as a treatment for cardiac arrest. 10 removal percutaneous (20%). 25 (50%)...
Magnetic resonance has become a first-line imaging modality in various clinical scenarios. The number of patients with different cardiovascular devices, including cardiac implantable electronic increased exponentially. Although there have been reports risks associated exposure to magnetic these patients, the evidence now supports safety performing studies under specific conditions and following recommendations minimize possible risks. This document was written by Working Group on Cardiac...
