The effect on cardiovascular outcomes of withholding angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers in chronic users before noncardiac surgery is unknown.In this international prospective cohort study, the authors analyzed data from 14,687 patients (including 4,802 inhibitor/angiotensin blocker users) at least 45 yr old who had in-patient 2007 to 2011. Using multivariable regression models, studied relationship between inhibitors/angiotensin and a primary...
AimsTo examine the prevalence of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden death (SD) in adults with atrial repair transposition great arteries (TGA) to determine associated risk factors.
(Abstracted from Anesthesiology, 126(1):16–27, 2017) The purpose of this international prospective cohort study was to assess the effect withholding angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) on risk 30-day composite outcome all-cause death, myocardial injury following noncardiac surgery (MINS), and stroke, as well determine relationship between ACEIs/ARBs perioperative hypotension.
Background— Assessment of systemic right ventricular (RV) function is a key point in the follow-up patients with transposition great arteries (TGA). Current echocardiographic assessment RV at best an estimate, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) considered gold standard. However, this technique expensive, has limited availability, requires significant expertise to acquire interpret images. The myocardial performance index (MPI) recently been studied for pulmonary shows promise as simple yet...
Importance Although major bleeding is among the most common and prognostically important perioperative complications, relative timing of events not well established. This information critical for preventing complications informing pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis. Objective To determine postoperative patients undergoing surgery up to 30 days after surgery. Design, Setting, Participants a secondary analysis prospective cohort study. Patients aged 45 years or older who underwent inpatient...
Objectives: Taekwondo performance is influenced by a complex and dynamic interplay of physical, nutritional, psychological factors, all which contribute to competitive success. However, the gender-specific relationships among these factors in young high-performance athletes remain understudied. This study aimed fill this knowledge gap. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted with 35 elite taekwondo (male: n = 20, female: 15, age: 13 ± 1 years). Participants underwent anthropometric...
Background: This study aimed to conduct a detailed and comparative analysis of body composition dietary habits in elite swimming water polo athletes. Through the examination these key parameters, this seeks compare intake two distinct aquatic sports disciplines. Methods: A total 10 top-level swimmers 13 athletes participated anthropometric assessments, as well nutritional intake. To groups, an independent samples t-test was used, variance homogeneity checked using Levene’s test. The effect...
Objective: The prognostic significance of left and right bundle branch block (LBBB RRBB) in patients with chronic stable cardiovascular (CV) disease is not well characterized was evaluated the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) study cohort. Design: Observational analysis data prospectively collected HOPE trial. Setting Patients: a multicenter, international trial, which ramipril vitamin E 9,541 aged ≥55 years CV or diabetes ≥1 risk factor(s) but without heart failure (HF) known...
AimsSupravalvar aortic stenosis is a rare form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction that often progressive in childhood. Little data are available on outcomes the adult population. Our aim was to define cardiac adults with supravalvar stenosis.
<h3>Importance</h3> Although the heart team approach is recommended in revascularization guidelines, frequency with which decisions differ from those of original treating interventional cardiologist unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine difference between and for treatment patients multivessel coronary artery disease. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this cross-sectional study, 245 consecutive disease were recruited 1 high-volume tertiary care referral center (185 enrolled through...
ObjectivesTo determine the treatment and outcomes of a cohort adults with Fontan circulation diagnosed intracardiac thrombus.BackgroundFormation thrombus is common after operation, albeit little has been published on these patients once they have developed an thrombus.MethodsWe identified all who had converted to from cardiology database at Toronto Congenital Cardiac Centre for Adults, Toronto, The Royal Brompton Hospital, London, studying period 1981 2003. We then reviewed relevant...
