Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs as a result of irreversible damage to cardiac myocytes secondary lack blood supply. Cardiogenic shock complicating AMI has significant associated morbidity and mortality, data on postdischarge outcomes are limited.We derived the study cohort patients with cardiogenic from 2013 2014 Healthcare Cost Utilization Project National Readmission Database. Incidence, predictors, causes 30-day readmissions were analyzed. From 43 212 index admissions for shock,...
There are no comprehensive guidelines on management of hypertensive emergency (HTNE) and complications. Despite advances in antihypertensive medications HTNE is accompanied with significant morbidity mortality.We queried the 2002-2012 nationwide inpatient sample database to identify patients HTNE. Trends incidence in-hospital mortality were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used assess relationship between end-organ complications mortality.Between 2002 2012, 129,914 admissions...
Left ventricular thrombosis (LVT) is a well-known complication of acute myocardial infarction, most commonly seen in anterior wall ST-segment elevation infarction (STEMI). It associated with systemic thromboembolism.Our aim was to evaluate the impact LVT on in-hospital mortality, thromboembolism, and bleeding patients STEMI.Data collected from Nationwide Inpatient Sample where primary diagnosis "Anterior STEMI" [ICD9-CM code 410.1] were included. Comparisons made between 429.79] vs those...
Current guidelines recommend implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), except those with completely reversible causes. We sought to examine the impact ICD on mortality SCA associated causes.We evaluated records 1433 patients managed at our institution between 2000 and 2012 who were discharged alive after SCA. A correctable cause was identified 792 (55%) patients. Reversible defined as significant electrolyte or metabolic abnormality,...
Objective: To determine the rate and predictors of palliative care referral (PCR) in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Introduction: The PCR is commonly utilized terminal conditions such as metastatic cancers. There no data on trends from large-scale registry general population regarding AHF. Methods: For this retrospective study, were obtained National Inpatient Sample Database 2010 to 2014. We used International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis codes...
Background Limited data exist on readmission among patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC), a commonly reversible cause of heart failure. Hypothesis We sought to identify etiologies and predictors for TC patients. Methods queried the National Readmissions Database 2013–2014 primary admission using ICD‐9‐CM code 429.83. Patients readmitted hospital within 1 month after discharge were further evaluated etiologies, predictors, resultant economic burden readmission. Additionally, we analyzed...
Inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) placement appears to be expanding over time despite absence of clear directing evidence.Two populations were studied. The first population included patients who received an IVCF between January 2005 and August 2013 at our community hospital center. Demographic information, indications for placement, retrieval rate was recorded among other variables. second comprised receiving from 2012 according the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) using ICD-9CM coding....
3 Background: The accurate prediction of outcome from MBC could be useful if it guide more effective therapies. Because PET/CT combines anatomical with functional imaging enable greater individualization treatment. However, there is substantial SUV variation by anatomic site. In this retrospective, single-institution study, we examine baseline on as a predictor MBC. Methods: Patients (Pts) ≥1 metastatic lesion performed ≤60 days diagnosis 01/01/2001-12/31/2008 were identified through...
Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from pulmonary (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly with high mortality. It associated cardiovascular complications and usually diagnosed soon after birth. Those who survive into adulthood can present signs myocardial infarction, heart failure, mitral regurgitation, severe hypertension, or sudden cardiac death. We 53-year-old female presenting atrial fibrillation found to have an incidental diagnosis ALCAPA refused surgical correction. also...
Abstract Introduction Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM) is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction and predominantly affects post-menopausal women. However, it rarely identified as a cause of acute heart failure in pregnancy. Objective We aimed to determine patient characteristics in-hospital outcomes TCM occurring Methods retrospectively analyzed the United States - National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database from 2010–2014 assess pregnant women ≥18 years using international...
A 57-year-old male presented with dyspnoea, cough, and weight loss for a month. He was in mild respiratory distress had BP of 90/60 mmHg heart rate 130 bpm. CT scan the chest showed large mediastinal mass compressing main pulmonary artery, pericardial effusion, no embolism ( Panel ). His dropped to 60/30 mmHg, which responded …
Introduction: SARS-COV-2 infection (COVID-19) may be associated with wide range of bacterial and fungal infections. Mucormycosis is a common potentially life threatening opportunistic responsible for morbidity mortality. Many factors like diabetes mellitus, hypertension corticosteroid therapy might have been role in the immunocompromised state patients. The aim present study was to know predisposing histopathology diagnosis assessing prognosis post COVID-19 mucormycosis cases. Material...
