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...
We aim to determine the added value of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in stroke risk assessment for hypertensive Black adults.
Introduction Cardiac Amyloidosis is often underdiagnosed due to the heterogeneity of clinical presentation, disease rarity, and clinician unfamiliarity with diagnosis management. Studies have shown that timely effective treatment can prolong median survival in patients cardiac amyloidosis. By optimizing cardiovascular care, multidisciplinary heart teams play a significant role We describe team (MDHT) based approach management suspected cases amyloidosis safety net hospital. Methods: A MDHT...
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) are major causes of cardiac in low-income countries. We present a case patient with mitral stenosis restrictive cardiomyopathy, initially attributed to severe RHD, but progression despite valve replacement, likely secondary previously undiagnosed EMF.
BACKGROUND: Black adults show heightened cardiovascular risk compared with other groups despite comparable or lower coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, indicating potential underestimation by CAC. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), preceding CAC, may predict events better in who are prone to early atherosclerotic disease and excess at low CAC scores. METHODS: We included 2551 participants from the JHS (Jackson Heart Study) visit 2 examination (2005–2008) without disease, followed...
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is the measure of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis most strongly associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. However, CAC rarely reported in inpatient setting to guide chest pain management. We present a case very high 64-year-old woman hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia presenting dyspnea. Initial electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrated normal conduction heart rate 76 beats/min, but new T-wave inversions V1–V4...
Background: Rothia species are known to cause dental caries and periodontal disease, infrequently native or prosthetic valve endocarditis mostly in immunocompromised persons. With an increasing use of implantable cardiac devices, early clinical suspicion a rapid diagnosis is essential for optimal treatment reduce complications mortality. Bacteremic infection with dentocariosa immunocompetent persons uncommon. Pacemaker lead-related caused by spp. rare management guidelines not defined. Case...
In-hospital acute kidney injury (IH-AKI) has been reported in a significant proportion of patients with COVID-19 and is associated increased disease burden poor outcomes. However, the mechanisms are not fully understood. We sought to determine significance race on cardiopulmonary outcomes in-hospital mortality hospitalized AKI. conducted retrospective cohort study consecutive Grady Health System Atlanta, Georgia between February July 2020, who tested positive for severe respiratory syndrome...
