Abstract Aims The safety of Ablation Index (AI)-guided 50 W ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain, and mid-term clinical outcomes have not been described. interplay between AI its components at has reported. Methods results Eighty-eight consecutive AF patients (44% paroxysmal) underwent AI-guided ablation. Procedural 12-month were compared with 93 controls (65% who using 35–40 W. Posterior wall isolation (PWI) was performed in 44 (50%) 23 (25%) the groups, respectively, P...
Background Major bleeding after acute coronary syndrome predicts a poor outcome but is challenging to define. The choice of antiplatelet influences risk. Methods and Results bleeding, subsequent myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality 1 year were compared in consecutive patients with treated clopidogrel (n=2491 between 2011 2013) ticagrelor (n=2625 2012 2015) 5 English hospitals. Clinical outcomes identified from national hospital episode statistics. Bleeding MI events independently...
Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is a major risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Serum cholesterol directly related to complications and mortalities associated with diseases. There are few studies that describe HC among youths Arab Gulf countries. We sought evaluate young healthy university students assess their developing CHD.Lipid profile 166 between ages 16-30 years (Mean: 20.49±2.96) were examined blood glucose, total protein, albumin, thyroid stimulating hormone...
Genetic polymorphisms affect lipid profiles and are associated with disease complications. variants in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we investigated effects of VDR genotypes on profile complications T2DM patients a Jordanian population. Ninety were genotyped for four major functional genetic variants, rs2228570 C > T (FokI), rs7975232 A (ApaI), rs731236 (TaqI), rs1544410 (BsmI), using polymerase chain reaction−restriction fragment length...
Objectives Early access to invasive coronary angiography and revascularisation for high-risk non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) improves outcomes is supported by current guidelines. We sought determine the most effective criteria at presentation emergency department (ED) identify NSTEMI. Setting Secondary care centre northwest England with national follow-up. Participants 1642 consecutive patients (median age 59, 52% male) presenting ED a primary symptom of chest pain in whom...
Background: The methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounts for 20% to 40% of all hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) cases with mortality rates up 55%. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Nasal MRSA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic utility evidence conflicting the literature HAP due a low number patients included prior studies or lack high-yield gold standard cultures defined comparisons. Methods: This was...
Abstract Background Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor with very good safety profile and animal models suggest it may be beneficial in the treatment of heart failure ventricular fibrillation. has also been associated reduced incidence atrial fibrillation (AF) retrospective observational study. We have therefore sought to determine whether sildenafil direct effect on electrophysiology resultant AF burden. Methods Invasive electrophysiological studies were performed 12 anaesthetised healthy adult...
A valid pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is essential for the hemodynamic characterization of hypertension (PH). We prospectively investigated methodology obtaining a PAWP measurement, while assessing impact prespecified factors on its determination.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder involving, intermittent mechanical obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Obesity most powerful risk factor for obstructive apnea. Objective: This study aimed to investigate long-term effect Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric surgery on patients with Methods: included were referred (Roux-en-Y bypass) control symptoms and complications obesity 5-year period. An overnight was performed each patient before after surgery, its...
Abstract Background. We sought to evaluate the clinical impacts of early administration trophic doses a glutamine/arginine enriched enteral nutrition formula (ENF) with high protein density cachectic hypoalbuminemic hospitalized patients intolerant nutrition. Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted using nutritional and non-nutritional data admitted our institution from April 2017 through August 2019. Patients who died or were discharged before completing ≥1 weeks hospital admission,...
