Background Clinical trials demonstrating improved cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT2 inhibitors have limited representation from Black and Hispanic populations. While mechanisms of action are not well known, ethnicity-based receptor physiology may render a better agent in certain Methods Medical records query yielded diabetic patients on between 2013 2020. Patients coronary artery disease heart failure were excluded. Transthoracic Echocardiographic studies (TTE) before after starting...
Aim: Right ventricular failure (RVF) complicates 30–50% of cases with inferior wall myocardial infarctions (IWMI). Large-scale studies exploring the recent trends in morbidity and mortality IWMI RVF context improved reperfusion strategies are currently lacking. Materials & methods: The International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes were used to query National Inpatient Sample 2018–2019 yield admissions stratified based on presence RVF. primary outcome was...
Background: Clinical trials demonstrating improved cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT2 inhibitors have often had limited representation from Black and Hispanic populations. While the mechanisms of action are not well known, ethnicity- or gender-based receptor physiology may render a better agent in certain populations over others. Methods: A medical records query yielded diabetic patients initiated on between 2013 2020. Patients coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure were...
An expanded tricuspid regurgitation scale has been shown to be incrementally useful in understanding the response transcatheter therapies. A similar approach mitral (MR) not evaluated. The purpose of this study was investigate how an MR grading system that includes categories massive and torrential would regrade patients undergoing edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for evaluate procedural outcomes. We retrospectively identified 142 consecutive with severe who underwent TEER. Transesophageal...
BackgroundTranscatheter mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) replacement has emerged as an alternative to redo valve (MV) surgery for the management of failed bioprosthetic MVs. The degree cardiac remodeling assessed by echocardiography been shown have prognostic implications in degenerative regurgitation patients undergoing MV surgery. impact transcatheter MViV with failure on and its associated prognosis remains undescribed.ObjectivesThe aim this study is describe early anatomic functional changes...
Introduction: Blood supply to the right bundle comes from left coronary circulation, which also supplies other major dominant areas of myocardium. Intuitively, RBBB in setting AWMI would indicate more extensive myocardial involvement and thus portend a worse prognosis. Limited previous studies on have demonstrated adverse outcomes, however large scale observational are still lacking. We hypothesized that as compared patients without RBBB, presence with be associated increased morbidity...
170 Background: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were half a million documented cases with 83,000 re-infections 29,000 deaths due Clostridium Difficile Infection(CDI) in year 2011. The influence of CDI on outcomes gastrointestinal(GI) malignancies is not well described, although incidence known be higher this subgroup patients. Methods: National Inpatient Sample 1999-2014 was analyzed identify adult admissions (>18 years age) using ICD-9-CM codes primary...
e18735 Background: Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) resulted in almost half a million cases, 83,000 re-infections and 29,000 deaths 2011. Limited studies have shown increased incidence of CDI patients with malignancies autologous stem cell transplant. While solid organ such as the lung gastrointestinal tract are major causes morbidity mortality, there is paucity demonstrating mortality due to infections these patients. Our study aims examine association (GI) cancers Methods: Adult...
e18754 Background: Skeletal-related events (SRE) are frequent consequences of bone metastases from solid tumours like breast, prostate and lung. In 2010, US FDA approved Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibiting RANK-L, for SRE metastatic tumors. Studies lacking which compare the trends before after advent RANK-L inhibitors. Our study aims to examine in hospitalizations mortality due prostate, lung breast cancer approval Denosumab. Methods: We analyzed data using Nationwide Inpatient...
Introduction: Papillary muscle rupture (PMR), ventricular septal (VSR) and cardiac free wall (FWR), are dreaded complications of STEMI associated with increased morbidity mortality. In multiple previous small to intermediate sized studies, TT as compared P-PCI was an increase in these mechanical complications. However, large scale observational studies lacking. Methods: Adult admissions a primary diagnosis between 1999 2014 were extracted from the NIS using ICD-9 code 410.x, except 410.7x...
