Background— Collateral damage to the vagal nerve and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) system during atrial fibrillation ablation has not been systematically evaluated. Methods Results— We performed a prospective, observational study assessing effect of on function vagus nerve/UGI system. All patients underwent esophageal manometry, gastric emptying study, sham-feeding test (corresponding esophageal, gastric, small intestinal evaluation, respectively) before (baseline) subsequently at 24 hours,...
Pocket haematoma is a common complication following pacemaker implantation. Impact of this on post-procedural outcomes has previously not been systematically studied. We sought to identify the incidence pocket after de novo and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation evaluate its impact hospital using large all-payer national inpatient database.Data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2010 was queried all primary implantations single chamber, dual chamber pacemakers,...
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) of the remnant pulmonary (PV) stumps in pneumonectomy patients has not been well characterized.This is a multicenter observational study with PV stump after pneumonectomy. Consecutive history and who had undergone RF ablation for drug refractory AF were identified from database at participating institutions.There 15 whom was performed, resection tumors 10, infection 4, bullae 1 patient underwent AF. The mean age 63 ± 7 years. right lower 5, left upper 3, 2...
The role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is less understood in the risk stratification patients with an acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), especially normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).This retrospective study from 2008 to 2012 evaluated all adult AECOPD having BNP levels and available echocardiographic data demonstrating LVEF ≥40%. were divided into groups 1, 2, 3 ≤ 100, 101 500, ≥501 pg/mL, respectively. A subgroup analysis was performed...
Pocket hematoma is one of the most common complications following cardiac device implantation. This study examined impact this complication on in-hospital outcomes Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2010 was queried to identify all primary implantations ICDs and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-D) during year using ICD-9 codes. We then identified patients who experienced a procedure related hospital stay. compared...
Myocardial injury occurs in 20% to 30% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection, and cardiovascular complications contribute approximately 40% all COVID-19-related deaths. Most cases myocarditis related infection occur the acute phase are self-limited. We describe a case delayed-onset fulminant that developed 5 weeks after mild leading cardiogenic shock need for mechanical circulatory support. Our illustrates how can as late complication even those initial course.
