Abstract Background and Aims Residual leaks are not infrequent after left atrial appendage occlusion. However, there is still uncertainty regarding their prognostic implications. The aim of this study to evaluate the impact residual Methods A literature search was conducted until 19 February 2023. comprised peri-device (PDLs) on transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or computed tomography (CT), as well patency CT. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed assess clinical leaks. Results...
Abstract Background Stress induced hyperglycemia (SIH) is common among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), even in without diabetes mellitus. However, evidence regarding its role on the angiographic outcomes and prognosis of presenting STEMI scarce. Methods This study included 309 consecutively enrolled undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Patients were diagnosed SIH if blood glucose admission was > 140 mg/dl. Also, had to fast for at least 8...
Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) constitute inter-related clinical entities. Biomarker profiling emerges as a promising tool for the early diagnosis risk stratification of either DM or CAD. However, studies assessing predictive capacity novel metabolomics biomarkers in coexistent CAD are scarce. Methods This post-hoc analysis CorLipid trial (NCT04580173) included 316 patients with comorbid who underwent emergency elective angiography due to acute...
Abstract Background There are limited data on the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) and levels glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with outcomes in patients atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods This retrospective cohort study included who were recently hospitalized a primary or secondary diagnosis AF from December 2015 through June 2018. Kaplan–Meier curves Cox-regression adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) calculated for outcome all-cause mortality cardiovascular (CV) composite CV death hospitalization....
Mining of electronic health record (EHRs) data is increasingly being implemented all over the world but mainly focuses on structured data. The capabilities artificial intelligence (AI) could reverse underusage unstructured EHR and enhance quality medical research clinical care. This study aims to develop an AI-based model transform into organised, interpretable dataset form a national cardiac patients.CardioMining retrospective, multicentre based large, longitudinal obtained from EHRs...
The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults with congenital heart disease raises significant questions regarding its management. unique underlying anatomic and physiological background further adds to the difficulty eliminating AF burden these patients. Herein, we provide an overview current knowledge on pathophysiology risk factors for adult disease, a special focus existing challenges ablation. Emerging imaging modalities ablation techniques might have role play....
Background/Objectives: Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common complication of transradial coronary catheterization. In this study, we aimed to evaluate incidence RAO and identify risk factors that predispose patients it. Methods: We conducted an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, open-label study involving 1357 who underwent cardiac catheterization via route for angiography and/or a percutaneous intervention (PCI). Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses...
Gut microbiota-derived metabolite Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is increasingly recognized as a potential novel prognostic biomarker for cardiovascular disease. Our research work aimed to investigate the utility of TMAO measurement in patients with STelevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). We performed systematic literature search PubMed from inception 1st February 2024 identify all studies examining association between plasma levels and disease complexity or clinical outcomes STEMI...
Abstract Background In acute heart failure (HF), low cardiac output and venous congestion are pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to renal function impairment. The present study investigated the association between advanced echocardiographic measures of right ventricular atrial impairment in patients with HF. Methods A total 377 hospitalized for HF were prospectively evaluated. first blood sample on admission was used measure estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using 2021...
Abstract Background The response of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) to therapeutic management in acute heart failure (HF) is variable. STR improvement may indicate reverse right ventricular remodeling and treatment. dynamic trends during HF hospitalization their prognostic relevance remain unexplored. Methods All consecutive patients hospitalized for underwent echocardiographic assessment within 24 hours from admission prior discharge. Patients were divided into 3 groups; No/mild on...
Background: Selecting the optimal oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy for elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains challenging. Our real-world study investigates clinical factors guiding OAC prescription patterns and compares outcomes between full- reduced-dose direct-acting anticoagulants (DOACs) vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in this demographic. Methods: This post hoc analysis of MISOAC-AF trial focused on hospitalized AF aged ≥ 75 years prescribed at discharge. Predictors VKA...
Abstract Purpose To determine the most important patient factors influencing quantitative MBF and to report lower (LRL) upper (URL) reference limits for 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Methods Patients who underwent PET-MPI were screened, those with evidence of ischemia or scar, known cardiomyopathy, impaired left ventricular function, non-response vasodilators, a stress-rest protocol excluded. Multiple linear regression analyses performed...
Background/Objectives: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a heterogenous clinical entity which differs in pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis from myocardial obstructive artery disease (MI-CAD) MINOCA mimickers, such as myocarditis or Takotsubo syndrome. This study aimed to compare the characteristics, imaging findings, management strategies, long-term outcomes of patients true MINOCA, MI-CAD, mimickers. Methods: retrospective cohort included 1596...
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple aspects physical and social health, including spiritual religious dimensions, has been discussed not only by numerous theologians, scientists, politicians, but also millions believers all faiths worldwide. seems to have exerted a significant practices. Massive gatherings devoted faithful people strongly discouraged even openly banned. Prominent festivals pilgrimages that conflated media with other "mega-spreader events" are incessantly canceled...
Our study aims to develop a data-driven framework utilizing heterogenous electronic medical and clinical records advanced Machine Learning (ML) approaches for: ( i ) the identification of critical risk factors affecting complexity Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), as assessed via SYNTAX score; ii development ML prediction models for accurate estimation expected score. We propose two-part modeling technique separating process into two distinct phases: (a) binary classification task predicting,...
