Purpose: Federal programs to mitigate hospital readmission of patients with heart failure (HF) monetarily encourage hospitals through the use penalties. The limited performance predictive models have created potential challenges implementation and unintended consequences, criticisms about its consequences low models. We study sought refine existing using data from a large multi-payer national dataset. Methods: Premier healthcare database, nationally representative all-payor dataset, was...
Intravenous iron therapy is recommended to improve symptoms and exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure (HF) -reduced ejection fraction deficiency (ID), but there are limited published data on the implementation of intravenous practice. A pharmacist-provider collaborative ID treatment clinic was established within an advanced HF pulmonary hypertension service optimize IV therapy. The objective evaluate clinical impacts clinic.A retrospective cohort study performed compare outcomes...
BackgroundThe optimal anti-platelet regimen after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains uncertain. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety single therapy (SAPT) vs. dual (DAPT) (TAVR).MethodsElectronic databases were searched for randomized observational studies, which compared SAPT versus DAPT TAVR. primary outcomes all-cause mortality, major bleeding. Summary adjusted risk ratios (RR) calculated using a Der-Simonian Liard model. bias included...
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been highly increased as the recommended option for patients with a high surgical risk.This study aims to commit systematic review and meta-analysis assess outcomes in severe stenosis following emergency transcatheter (emergent TAVR) compared elective TAVR or eBAV followed by TAVR.Methods: We conducted literature search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, Science Direct, Google Scholar.We included nine studies latest...
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) associated with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) may manifest 5 to 10 years prior diagnosis. Transthyretin (ATTR) identification in the tenosynovium isolated during carpal release (CTR) facilitate earlier ATTR-CA diagnosis and treatment. Hypothesis: Amyloid discovered at CTR will be with, and/or serve as a precursor for, involvement. Aim: We aimed determine frequency type of amyloid found well incidence involvement treatment indication....

Background: Attenuation correction (AC) hardware and software has been shown to increase the specificity of SPECT MPI decreasing false positive results improving prognostic ability results.These benefits should reduce subsequent unnecessary confirmatory coronary angiography.We sought assess implication Gd-153 scanning line source AC on downstream invasive testing.Methods: All patients who underwent a Tc-99m stress study from 2013-15 at 5 different hospitals (2 with equipped cameras 3...
