Background Although there has been a decrease in the incidence of ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) United States, this trend might be stagnant or increasing young women. We assessed trends, characteristics, and outcomes STEMI women aged 18 to 55 years. Methods Results identified 177 602 with primary diagnosis from National Inpatient Sample during years 2008 2019. performed analyses assess hospitalization rates, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor profile, in-hospital...
Background: Chest pain is a prevalent and critical complaint among patients in emergency departments (EDs) across the United States. Professional societies have refined clinical guidelines to establish most effective diagnostic pathways for identifying obstructive coronary artery disease. However, many healthcare systems do not adhere guideline-validated instead order repeat testing. This study evaluated efficiency of care delivered chest our tertiary medical center. Methods: We performed...
We aim to determine the added value of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in stroke risk assessment for hypertensive Black adults.
Background: Over the past 2 years of several strategies recommended to help fight COVID-19, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir is a novel drug shown in EPIC-HR phase 3 clinical trial lower COVID-19-related death or hospitalization at day 28 when compared with placebo. Objective: Our study’s aim was explore reported adverse events (AEs) associated use for COVID-19. Method: We conducted retrospective analysis using FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database AEs, listing as primary between January...
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), a rare complication of systemic sarcoidosis, can have subtle or no symptoms. It is characterized by granuloma formation in the myocardium, which occur isolation alongside sarcoidosis. Clinical manifestations include conduction system disorders (e.g., atrioventricular block and ventricular tachyarrhythmia), heart failure, sudden cardiac death. Timely evaluation screening for CS are crucial, especially patients with limited We present case 50-year-old African-American...
Degeneration of the cardiac conduction system resulting in complete heart block (CHB), ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and sudden death (SCD) is recognized patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) potentially preventable permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. However, other mechanisms for SCD have been proposed, efficacy implanting a defibrillator instead PPM remains to be investigated.We utilized National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database 2016-2019 investigate risk VA or dysrhythmic arrest...
Inflammation of the meningeal linings central nervous system (CNS), also known as meningitis, is one serious presentations in emergency because it carries high morbidity and mortality. The most common cause pus-producing organisms. However, non-suppurative termed aseptic another inflammation. Many etiologies stand behind meningitis. Those include viral non-viral, drug-induced, malignancy, systemic Drug-induced meningitis a rare type Although easily treated, can be challenging disease if not...
Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) continues to be a significant public health issue, posing heightened risk of morbidity and mortality for both genders. Despite the widespread use left ventricular assist device (LVAD), influence gender differences on clinical outcomes following implantation remains unclear. Objectives We investigated impact readmission rates other LVAD in patients admitted with advanced HF. Methods conducted retrospective study who underwent HF between 2014 2020, using...
Olmesartan-induced enteropathy is an underreported phenomenon, first described in 2012. While olmesartan’s antihypertensive properties were confirmed early on, its association with a sprue-like was subsequently noted. Although this has been reported olmesartan, there have few reports of other angiotensin-receptor blockers. We present case 79-year-old male who presented diarrhea, weight loss, jaundice, and transaminitis. Further history revealed that he had taking olmesartan 40 mg daily for...
Nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death 1 receptor, is prescribed for many advanced cancers like malignant melanoma, non-small lung cancer, renal etc. With the increase in use of nivolumab immunotherapy, incidences immune-related side effects are also on rise. Immune-related endocrinopathies hypothyroidism and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with use, although rare, already documented literature. Here we present case cancer patient receiving past six...
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. The disease characterized by fibrosis the pleura and subpleural lung parenchyma predominantly affecting upper lobes. Various triggers have been proposed as inciting factors in development disease. Diagnosis made clinically conjunction with radiographic findings histopathology when available. There are no known effective treatment options several cases transplantation reported. We report...
Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is congenital characterized by trabeculations of the left ventricle found on echocardiogram and/or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). This rare disease associated with thromboembolism and an increased risk ventricular thrombus formation. We present case a 73-year-old female who was admitted for suspected cerebrovascular accident (CVA), later CMRI to have NCC thrombus. She started warfarin indefinitely. highlight rarity this phenomenon as well unique...
BRASH syndrome is a newly coined diagnosis consisting of the clinical pentad bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. It rare with just under 50 reported cases. This case report literature review present syndrome, refractory to pharmaceutical measures, subsequent assess treatment decisions overall outcomes. The consensus from supports use advanced interventions in most cases, including transcutaneous or transvenous pacing, hemodialysis,...
Dysphagia lusoria is a congenital abnormality characterized by an aberrant right subclavian artery. It often presents as either incidental finding on imaging or chronic dysphagia. We describe the case of 66-year-old female who presented with severe chest pain, worse swallowing, along ongoing globus sensation. She was found to have negative cardiac workup for ischemia subsequent computed tomography angiogram (CTA) showing abnormal emphasize unique diagnostic approach this rare anatomical...
