Patients are increasingly using the Internet as a source of information on medical conditions. Because average American adult reads at 7th- to 8th-grade level, National Institutes Health recommend that patient education material be written between 4th- and 6th-grade level. In this study, we assess compare readability materials major surgical subspecialty Web sites relative otolaryngology.Descriptive correlational design.Patient from 14 (American Society Colon Rectal Surgeons, Association...
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), the world’s most common arrhythmia, often goes undetected and untreated in low-resource communities, including India, where AF epidemiology is undefined. an important risk factor for stroke, which plagues estimated 1.6 million Indians annually. As such, early detection of management high-risk patients critically to decrease stroke burden individuals with AF. This study aims describe Anand District, Gujarat, characterise clinical profile who are...
Leadless pacemakers are designed for implantation in a subpulmonic, morphologic right ventricle patients with normal cardiac anatomy. In selected scenarios the subpulmonic may be left ventricle. We present case of 38-year-old male patient congenitally corrected transposition great arteries (ccTGA) complete heart block who developed pocket infection after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. He had significant superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis, making vascular access...
Abstract Background Low health literacy is associated with poor outcomes. Hospital discharge instructions are often written at advanced reading levels, limiting patients’ low ability to follow medication or complete other necessary care. Previous research demonstrates that improving the readability of reduces hospital readmissions and decreases healthcare costs. We aimed use artificial intelligence (AI) improve instructions. Methodology/Principal Findings collected a series for adults...
Background: The annual risk of recurrent stroke after cryptogenic (CS) is estimated at 3-6%. Atrial myopathy, characterized by left atrial structural and electrophysiological remodeling, associated with fibrillation (AF) stroke. Hypothesis: myopathy an increased or transient ischemic attack (rCVA) within one year. Methods: Patients interpretable echocardiograms who received implantable loop recorder for CS a tertiary care medical center (2015-22) were included followed least 1 Left emptying...
Introduction: Current guidelines recommend interpretation of at least 300 echocardiograms to achieve competency in echocardiography for independent practice (level II COCATS). Recommended core competencies include proficiency evaluating native and prosthetic valve diseases, pulmonary hypertension right heart dysfunction, suspected cardiac masses or endocarditis, among others. Whether the recommended number cases allows adequate exposure various competencies, however, is unclear. Hypothesis:...
Introduction: A significant proportion of patients with embolic stroke unknown source (ESUS) are subsequently diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). Left myopathy characterized by mechanical left dysfunction has been associated development AF. Hypothesis: Decreased emptying fraction (LAEF) is independently AF in ESUS. Methods: Patients admitted at a tertiary care medical center for ESUS treated implantable loop recorders from 2015-2022 were included. excluded lack an interpretable transthoracic...
Background: Dofetilide is a class III antiarrhythmic often used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Given its QTc prolonging properties, it invariably initiated in an inpatient setting. While admissions this drug are unexciting, pharmacologic cardioversion general and dofetilide particular carry unique hazards. Objective: To review case where several risk factors converged during load to produce life threatening event. Case: A 75 year old male persistent fibrillation was admitted...
Background: Increased left atrial minimum volume indexed by body surface area (LAVImin) is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. The mechanism underlying this association not well defined. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that increased LAVImin associated with low appendage emptying velocity (LAAV). Methods: reviewed medical records of 167 patients who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) within twelve months transthoracic (TTE), which was obtained during sinus rhythm, in tertiary care...
