National guidelines have been set to achieve door-to-balloon time (D2B) is less than 90 minutes improve outcomes for patients with STEMI. The purpose of this study see if a more aggressive approach utilizing prehospital ECGs could reperfusion times.The EMS personnel obtained 12-lead ECG during initial assessment in the field from chest pain. was immediately transmitted ER physician by cellular link computer receiving station. reviewed digital tracing. cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL)...
Background In the current age of ever‐increasing healthcare costs, it is utmost importance to adopt strategies that reduce hospital stay and cost, while still maintaining patient safety. this study we review our approach same‐day discharge following implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement for primary prevention sudden cardiac death (SCD). Methods We conducted a retrospective chart 415 consecutive patients who underwent ICD implantation SCD between 2007 2010. Patients were...
In patients with cardiac sarcoidosis, the sarcoid granulomas usually involve myocardium or endocardium. The disease typically presents as heart failure ventricular arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, both. Constrictive pericarditis has rarely been described in sarcoidosis: we found only 2 reports of this association. We report case a 57-year-old man who presented clinical and hemodynamic features constrictive pericarditis, unclear cause. He was admitted for treatment recurrent pleural...
Papillary muscle rupture is one of the catastrophic mechanical complications following myocardial infarction. Rupture leads to acute mitral valve regurgitation, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Survival dependent on prompt recognition surgical intervention.We present two cases where infarction was complicated by papillary resulting in severe regurgitation In both occurred within week Both patients did not receive coronary revascularization; patient presented late after onset chest...
Atherosclerotic renal artery disease is a common cause of hypertension and chronic kidney that may progress into end stage failure if not diagnosed treated early. Renal stenosis (RAS) has been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with coronary disease. We sought determine whether race developing RAS. A retrospective study was conducted including 324 resistant who underwent angiography or without angiography. In univariate analysis, Caucasian associated significant...
The Gerbode defect is a rare ventricular septal (VSD) between the left ventricle (LV) and right atrium (RA). We describe challenging case of acquired from infective endocarditis. A 73-year-old male presented for lower extremity edema shortness breath with exertion. He was discharged hospital one week prior after being diagnosed hip septic arthritis. transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) did not demonstrate an abscess or vegetation, but significant severely elevated tricuspid regurgitation...
Introduction: Injury to the right bundle causing Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a known complication of central line placement.Complete heart block may result in patients with pre-existing Left (LBBB).There are no organized guidelines for preparedness such condition.Case Report: Seventy-eight-year old woman presented intraparenchymal hemorrhage.Venous access was obtained subclavian vein and guide wire passed.As catheter passed over guidewire, rhythm went complete block.She paced an...
A 56-year-old male presented to the hospital with fever, chills and malaise. His past medical history included; coronary artery disease status post bypass graft surgery, chronic severe mitral regurgitation, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance portal vein thrombosis. Vital signs demonstrated a blood pressure 130/70 mmHg, heart rate 110 bpm normal temperature. The physical examination was unremarkable except for an apical pan-systolic murmur. Two sets culture revealed Group B...
