Background There has been an increase in the prevalence of drug abuse ( DA ) national opioid epidemic. With increasing , there is increased risk infective endocarditis IE ). are limited recent data evaluating trends on incidence and geographical distribution ‐ . We aim to investigate those numbers as well determinants outcome this patient population. Methods Results Hospitalized patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis based International Classification Diseases Ninth Tenth Revisions...
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Following an initial negative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), clinical suspicion warrants repeat examination. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of contemporary TEE imaging for IE. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients ≥18 years old undergoing ≥2 TEEs within 6 months, confirmed diagnosis IE based on Duke criteria, 70 in 2011 172 2019, were included. compared 2019 versus...
Background The incidence of cardiovascular disease among pregnant women is rising in the United States. Data on racial disparities for major events during pregnancy are limited. Methods and Results Pregnant post-partum hospitalized from January 2007 to December 2017 were identified Nationwide Inpatient Sample. outcomes interest included: in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism, peripartum cardiomyopathy. Multivariate regression analysis was used assess...
We recount a single-center experience with cardiac immunity-related adverse effects in patients treated immune checkpoint inhibitors. Of 2,830 patients, 9 (0.3%) developed (4 cases of cardiomyopathies, 2 myocarditis, acute pericarditis, and 1 large pericardial effusion). Disease profiles, hospital courses, outcomes are reported. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.)
Abstract Background Breast cancer bears considerable morbidity and mortality is well known to increase the risk of major depression, whereas religiosity has been reported be protective. We searched for an association between depression in breast patients. also sought find various sociodemographic disease variables. Methods One hundred two patients were interviewed. Sociodemographic, profile, questionnaires administered. screened depressive disorders by using Mini‐International...
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) in bicuspid valves (BAV) is associated with an increased risk of paravalvular leak (PVL) after a transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR). Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be effective tool surgical training, but its utility clinical practice not studied. Here we present the first study evaluate use VR simulation pre-procedure planning and prediction PVL TAVR patients severe BAV AS.
New-onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) can develop after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) resulting in worse outcomes.Describe clinical and echocardiographic outcomes with new-onset LBBB TAVR.We included consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral-TAVR SAPIEN-3 (S3) between April 2015 December 2018. Exclusion criteria pre-existing LBBB, right BBB, anterior hemiblock, posterior wide QRS ≥ 120ms, prior permanent pacemaker (PPM), nontransfemoral access.Among 612 patients,...
Background Cardiac monitoring (telemetry) is a common over-utilized hospital resource in the United States. Previous studies have shown that telemetry does not improve outcomes for low-risk patients. Inappropriate utilization occurs because of lack awareness guideline-based indications or non-adherence to known indications. Objective A quality improvement study was conducted reduce overutilization during transition care from intensive unit (ICU) by 15% through increasing telemetry. Methods...
