Prompt identification of higher-risk patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is crucial to pursue a more aggressive approach. We aimed assess whether the modified shock index (MSI), ratio heart rate mean arterial pressure, could predict six-month mortality among admitted STEMI. A retrospective observational cohort study was performed in single center including 1158 diagnosed STEMI, without cardiogenic on admission, between July 2009 and December 2014. They...
Background: Palliative Care professionals are often confronted with therapeutic futility, consisting in inappropriate strategies that do not add any advantage to the patient and may actually increase adverse events. Scientific literature concerning this issue is lacking. This article one of first study futility specifically at time transition palliative care setting. Aim: To phenomenon pharmacologic a cancer care. Design: The pharmacological prescriptions appointment an oncological unit...
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is less frequent in young adults, but it has become a significant health problem, associated with the increasing prevalence of modifiable risk factors.To characterize patients admitted premature ACS, comparing those nonpremature ACS.We performed retrospective study encompassing Portuguese Registry (ProACS), two groups: one composed men than 55 and women 65 years old; other ≥55 ≥65 old at ACS admission. The primary endpoint was composite in-hospital mortality,...
Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the most common renal pathology diagnosed in geriatric cats, and its prevalence increases with age. The arterial resistive index (RI) important when evaluating vascular resistance compliance, can be applied (renal RI [RRI]), allowing evaluation of haemodynamics. present study aimed to: (1) investigate cats CKD relationships between RRI following parameters: age, sex, body weight, plasmatic creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, potassium, urine specific...
The diagnostic performance of the new Peguero-Lo Presti ECG criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has not been validated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). aim this study was to evaluate and compare Presti, Cornell Sokolow--Lyon voltage LVH as defined CMR in an all-comers European population.A total 240 consecutive patients referred who had a concomitant electrocardiogram review were evaluated. group according reference values sex age mass index (LVMi). A control group, adjusted...
O défice de ferro (DeF) é uma condição prevalente em doentes com patologia cardíaca. Naqueles insuficiência cardíaca (IC) demonstrou‐se que esse se associa a pior prognóstico. Existem poucos dados na literatura relativamente ao impacto prognóstico do DeF nas síndromes coronárias agudas (SCA), sendo este o principal objetivo deste estudo. Estudo observacional retrospetivo incluiu 817 admitidos por SCA. Definiram‐se dois grupos acordo presença (n = 298) ou ausência 519) à admissão. evento...
The differential diagnosis of true aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms is challenging, multimodality cardiac imaging often necessary. We report a case in which the limitations these techniques are exposed, showing that post-operative evaluation tissue layers remains gold standard establishing this diagnosis. (Level Difficulty: Beginner.)
J-point elevation in the inferior and/or lateral leads is associated with an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), although exact underlying mechanism not known. As severe left ventricular hypertrophy and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) are important risk factors for SCD this population, we aimed to assess whether there was association between early repolarization pattern (ERP) greater mass (LVM) LGE extent among patients HCM.This a...
Iron deficiency (IDef) is a prevalent condition in patients with heart disease and those failure (HF). Evidence has shown that this deficit associated worse prognosis. Data literature are scarce on the prognostic impact of IDef acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which main objective study. Observational, retrospective study included 817 admitted for ACS. Two groups were defined according to presence (n=298) or absence (n=519) admission. The clinical event under was occurrence death severe HF...
