Few studies have examined the relationship between heavy metal and serum cholesterol levels, no recent study has this in US population.A total of 19,591 individuals aged 0-80 years were included National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2012; current was composed survey participants for whom some or all low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), triglyceride, high-density cholesterol, blood lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) levels had been measured. Three tertiles (T1-T3) metals used to...
The case of a patient who suffered cardiac arrest while undergoing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is presented here. A 75-year-old man with moderate right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension became bradycardic hypotensive after receiving propofol for procedural sedation. His profound hypotension ultimately led to pulseless electrical activity (PEA) arrest. TEE images captured immediately prior show severely dilated hypokinetic RV, consistent acute failure. This...
Introduction: Heavy metals, defined as metals with densities higher than 5g/cm3, can interact various physiological processes in the body cardiovascular consequences. We sought to gain a better understanding of relationship between serum levels heavy and total LDL-cholesterol. Hypothesis: Serum LDL-cholesterol may be related metals. Methods: Cross-sectional survey using NHANES 2009-2012 database. Age, Gender, were considered covariates. cholesterol (TC; normal <200 mg/dl) LDL (LDL-C; <...
Background: Ambulatory health care visits (HCVs) have substantial impact on heart failure (HF) outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that number of HCVs vary by race, insurance status and other socioeconomic (SES) factors among both hospitalized non-hospitalized HF patients. Methods: Using United States NHANES 2005-2016 database, 1154 individuals with were identified based reported diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression using proportional odds model was performed in 12 months as dependent...
