Background: Inflammation plays a crucial role in clinical manifestations and complications of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Colchicine, commonly used treatment for gout, has recently emerged as novel therapeutic option cardiovascular medicine owing to its anti-inflammatory properties. We sought determine the potential usefulness colchicine patients with ACS. Methods: This was multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 17 hospitals Australia that provide...
Importance Abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces bleeding with no increase in ischemic events patients at high risk (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Objectives To evaluate the association of sex comparative effectiveness abbreviated vs standard DAPT HBR. Design, Setting, and Patients This prespecified subgroup analysis followed Management High Bleeding Risk Post Bioresorbable Polymer Coated Stent Implantation With an Standard Regimen (MASTER DAPT)...
The transradial approach for coronary artery catheterisation has increased in popularity compared to the transfemoral patients undergoing percutaneous interventions. However, radial spasm continues be a major complication of procedure. Current management strategies vary concerning and there is limited evidence practice Australian context.To identify predictors medications used its prevention management.A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out over three-month period two tertiary...
ObjectivesDescribe the incidence of cardiac complications in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 Australia.DesignObservational cohort study.SettingTwenty-one (21) Australian hospitals.ParticipantsConsecutive aged ≥18 years laboratory confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.Main outcome measuresIncidence complications.ResultsSix-hundred-and-forty-four (644) hospitalised (62.5±20.1 yo, 51.1% male) were enrolled study. Overall in-hospital...
While there has been an increase in the use of transradial approach when performing percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention, is evidence variations international practice. Ensuring that operators' practices are supported by important to ensure optimal outcomes.
Objective To assess whether hypertension is an independent risk factor for mortality among patients hospitalised with COVID-19, and to evaluate the impact of ACE inhibitor angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) use on in a background hypertension. Method This observational cohort study included all index hospitalisations laboratory-proven COVID-19 aged ≥18 years across 21 Australian hospitals. Patients suspected, but not were excluded. Registry data analysed in-hospital comorbidities including...
In Australia, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are managed in a complex and fragmented healthcare system across multiple providers. A data repository that links sources, enables advanced analytics big technologies, will generate novel insights, allow development of translational tools can improve patient care outcomes. The Cardiac Analytics Innovation (CardiacAI) project has established research-ready electronic medical records resource to enable collaborative research. CardiacAI prospectively...
Coronary artery fistulas are rare anomalies that categorized by site of termination: coronary-cameral (into a heart chamber) and coronary arterio-venous systemic or pulmonary vessels). Alternatively, they classified segment origin: Sakakibara type A originates in the proximal third native vessel B beyond as termination vessel.1Sakakibara S. Yokoyama M. Takao A. Nogi Gomi H. arteriovenous fistula. Nine operator cases.Am Heart J. 1966; 72:...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The use of remote monitoring technology for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is the standard care as highlighted by international guidelines. However, has not yet been integrated to universal, routine clinical practice. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> We aimed identify barriers and enablers implementation CIED monitoring. <title>METHODS</title> conducted semi-structured interview explore encountered when incorporating management....
The quantitative objective is to identify the effectiveness of vasodilatory medications on radial artery spasm in patients undergoing transradial coronary procedures.
The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize the best available research evidence related effects methods used achieve hemostasis on radial artery occlusion (RAO) rates, following approach for percutaneous coronary procedures.The specific question as follows: What effect post sheath removal RAO rates in adult patients, procedures?
Transradial cardiac catheterization is increasingly being used for the management of coronary artery disease given low risk procedural discomfort and complications with this approach. However, evidence relating to preprocedural anxiety levels in these patients scarce.The aim study was evaluate predictors undergoing transradial procedures.Data were collected using a self-administered survey. Anxiety measured Spielberg's State-Trait Inventory questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis...
