<h3>Importance</h3> Among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a survival benefit associated radial access compared femoral remains controversial. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether there is when used instead of among STEMI PCI. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 5 PCI centers in Canada. In total, 2292 were enrolled...
The optimal hemoglobin threshold to guide red blood cell (RBC) transfusion for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and anemia is uncertain. To estimate the efficacy of 4 individual thresholds (<10 g/dL [<100 g/L], <9 [<90 <8 [<80 <7 [<70 g/L]) in MI anemia. Prespecified secondary analysis MINT (Myocardial Ischemia Transfusion) trial using target emulation methods. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02981407). 144 clinical sites 6 countries. 3492 participants a level below 10 g/dL. Four...
Suppression of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) below the normal range with administration L-thyroxine has been shown to improve survival in patients treated for cancer (TC). Although most TC require long-term TSH suppression therapy, effect this treatment on cardiac rhythm remains unknown. A cross-sectional study was conducted determine prevalence atrial fibrillation (AF) suppressive therapy.All seen between June 2009 and March 2010 through a multidisciplinary oncology clinic, Halifax,...
Given changes in the care and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients over past several decades, we sought to develop prediction models that could be used generate accurate risk-adjusted mortality readmission for hospitals current practice across Canada.A Canadian national expert panel was convened define appropriate AMI reporting models. Preliminary candidate variable evaluation conducted using Ontario hospitalized with a most responsible diagnosis from April 1, 2015 March...
To determine the one-year and five-year occurrence prognosticators of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: composition all-cause death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, thrombosis), mortality, lesion revascularization (TLR) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) treated drug-eluting balloons (DEBs).DEBs have become an emerging therapeutic option for ISR. We report results a single-center retrospective study on treatment ISR DEB.94 consecutive paclitaxel-eluting...
The disposition of patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is commonly the coronary care unit. Recent studies have suggested that low-risk STEMI could be managed in a lower-acuity setting immediately after percutaneous intervention (PCI). We sought to determine frequency downstream intensive-care therapy used our "stable" post-PCI.A single-centre, retrospective review was completed consecutive who underwent primary PCI for between 2013 and 2016. Post-PCI, were...
