Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with high mortality rates and has inconclusive recommendations in clinical guidelines. We aimed to report the international experience of patients secondary MR MI compare outcomes those treated conservatively, surgically, percutaneously.Retrospective registry consecutive at least moderate-to-severe 21 centres North America, Europe, Middle East. The included conservatively having surgical valve repair or...
Abstract Objectives To assess outcomes in patients with acute mitral regurgitation (MR) following myocardial infarction (AMI) who received percutaneous valve repair (PMVR) the MitraClip device and to compare of developed cardiogenic shock (CS) those did not (non‐CS). Background Acute MR after AMI may lead CS is associated high mortality. Methods This registry analyzed were treated at 18 centers within eight countries between January 2016 February 2020. Patients stratified into non‐CS groups....
Development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), ie, a rise in serum creatinine by either ≥0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% from baseline within the first 2-3 days after contrast administration, is strongly associated with both increased inhospital and late morbidity mortality invasive cardiac procedures. The prevention CIN critical if long-term outcomes are to be optimized percutaneous coronary intervention. prevalence patients receiving varies markedly (from <1% 50%), depending on presence well...
Abstract Aims Acute mitral regurgitation (MR) in the setting of myocardial infarction (MI) may be result papillary muscle rupture (PMR). This condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We aim to evaluate feasibility transcatheter edge‐to‐edge valve repair (TEER) this acute setting. Methods results analysed data from International Registry MitraClip Mitral Regurgitation following Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) 30 centres Europe, North America, middle east. included patients...
Abstract Background Severe pain is prevalent in cardiac surgery patients and can increase complications, morbidity mortality. The objectives of the study were to assess perioperative intensity predictors post-cardiac surgery, including clinical characteristics depression. Methods A total 98 included study. Pain was assessed using a Numerical Rating System. measured one day pre-operatively recorded daily from Post-operative Day 2 7. Clinical data depression scores Center for Epidemiological...
Patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) after myocardial infarction (MI) have an increased risk of mortality. Transcatheter valve repair may therefore be a suitable therapy. However, data on clinical outcomes patients in acute setting are scarce, especially those reduced left ventricle (LV) dysfunction. We conducted multinational, collaborative analysis from 21 centers for who were, within 90 days MI, treated MitraClip due to MR. The cohort was divided according median ejection...
Anemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is strongly related to the increased risk of bleeding and mortality. Whether benefit early invasive strategy exceeds these unknown.To assess impact angiography on outcomes ACS baseline anemia.Biennial Israeli registry (ACSIS) prospectively collects data from all 26 public hospitals. The endpoints included rates in-hospital major bleeding, as well 30-day 1-year at was present 1,464 5,600 (26.1%). Coronary within index hospitalization...
Background Multiple contrast media exposures are common, but their cumulative effect on renal function is unknown. We aimed to investigate the consequences of repeated with coronary interventions. Methods and Results studied 2942 patients who underwent between 1 9 procedures. The primary end point was a persistent creatinine increase ≥50% above baseline at ≥90 days after last procedure. dose assessed using Cox models, exposure as time-dependent variable, propensity score matching. occurred...
The effect of contrast media (CM), delivered prior to- and during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), on kidney function, following the procedure, is debatable. Consequently, performance CM-based, acute injury (AKI) risk prediction models also questionable. We retrospectively studied 210 patients that underwent TAVI. recorded dose CM used TAVI, calculated results different AKI assessment containing a module, tested their association with after procedure. was diagnosed in 38...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Risk stratification in patients post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is limited to and based on clinical judgment surgical scoring systems. Serum natriuretic peptides are used for general risk with stenosis, reflecting the increase their afterload thereby stressing need intervention. The objective of this study was determine predictive value pre- post-procedural serum brain peptide (BNP) 1-year all-cause mortality who underwent...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. In chronic and myocardial infarction (MI) states, aberrant levels circulating microRNAs compromise gene expression pathophysiology. We aimed to compare microRNA in chronic-CAD acute-MI male patients peripheral blood vasculature versus coronary arteries proximal a culprit area. Blood from chronic-CAD, with/out ST segment elevation (STEMI/NSTEMI, respectively), control lacking previous CAD or having patent was collected...
Coronary artery calcium measured by CT predicts future coronary events. Similarly, carotid on dental panoramic radiographs has been associated with increased cardiovascular Pre-procedural assessment of candidates for valve replacement in our institution includes and chest tomography. We aimed to assess the association tomography.Paired pre-procedural tomography scans were done 177 consecutive patients between October 2016 2017. Carotid was quantified using NIH's ImageJ. Agatston score...
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is frequently associated with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Significant MR less favorable prognosis after transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI), including higher early and late mortality rate. The severity of improved in about half patients undergoing TAVI. However, the predictors improvement TAVI are unknown. We sought to investigate whether several demographic, clinical, echocardiographic laboratory parameters procedure characteristics predictive procedure.A...
Background: Conventional echocardiography used to assess volumes of the left ventricle (LV) and atrium (LA) along with mitral regurgitation grade is routine studies before after transcatheter edge-to-edge valve repair (Mitral TEER). Previous focus on LV parameter changes comparison functions a few months following Mitral TEER implantation, as well LA reverse remodeling, by assessing volumes. However, less known regarding strain in early phase procedure. The objective study was effect...
