Background: Racial inequities for patients with heart failure (HF) have been widely documented. HF who receive cardiology care during a hospital admission better outcomes. It is unknown whether there are differences in to or general medicine service by race. This study examined the relationship between race and service, its effect on 30-day readmission mortality Methods: We performed retrospective cohort from September 2008 November 2017 at single large urban academic referral center of all...
Abstract Background and Aims Skeletal muscle (SM) fat infiltration, or intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), reflects quality is associated with inflammation, a key determinant in cardiometabolic disease. Coronary flow reserve (CFR), marker of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), independently body mass index (BMI), inflammation risk heart failure, myocardial infarction, death. The relationship between SM quality, CMD, cardiovascular outcomes not known. Methods Consecutive patients (n =...
BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder associated with an imbalance in circulating proangiogenic and antiangiogenic proteins. Preclinical evidence implicates microvascular dysfunction as potential mediator of preeclampsia-associated cardiovascular risk. METHODS: Women singleton pregnancies complicated by severe antepartum-onset preeclampsia comparator group normotensive deliveries underwent cardiac positron emission tomography within 4 weeks delivery. A...
Background: The diagnostic yield of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) by endomyocardial biopsy is limited. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may facilitate noninvasive diagnosis, but the accuracy this approach not well defined. We aimed to correlate findings from FDG PET MRI with histological explanted hearts patients who underwent transplantation. Methods: analyzed heart histology for all transplant at our center April 2008 July 2018 had...
Background: Cardiac dysfunction and cardiovascular events are prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease without overt obstructive coronary artery disease, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Coronary microvascular has been proposed as a link between abnormal renal function impairment of cardiac events. We aimed to investigate relations dysfunction, adverse outcomes. Methods: Patients undergoing stress positron emission tomography, echocardiogram, ascertainment at Brigham...
Abstract Aims Hypertension is a well-established heart failure (HF) risk factor, especially in the context of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling. We aimed to use myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and global longitudinal strain (GLS), markers subclinical microvascular dysfunction, refine hypertensive HF assessment. Methods results Consecutive patients undergoing symptom-prompted stress cardiac positron emission tomography (PET)-computed transthoracic echocardiogram within 90 days without...
<h3>Importance</h3> Despite significant progress in primary prevention, the rate of myocardial infarction (MI) continues to increase young adults. <h3>Objectives</h3> To identify prevalence tobacco use and examine association both smoking cessation with survival a cohort adults who experienced an initial MI at age. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Partners YOUNG-MI registry is retrospective study from 2 large academic centers Boston, Massachusetts, that includes patients 50 years...
Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with poor health outcomes. However, whether socioeconomic factors are post-myocardial infarction (MI) outcomes in younger patient populations unknown.To evaluate the association of neighborhood-level long-term among patients who experienced an MI at a young age.This cohort study analyzed Mass General Brigham YOUNG-MI Registry (at and Women's Hospital Massachusetts Boston, Massachusetts) or before 50 years age between January 1, 2000, April 30, 2016....
BACKGROUND: Advanced chronic kidney disease is associated with high cardiovascular risk, even after transplant. Pretransplant cardiac testing may identify patients who require additional assessment before transplant or would benefit from risk optimization. The objective of the current study was to determine relative prognostic utility pretransplant positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon computed (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for posttransplant major adverse events...
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a robust predictor of coronary heart disease outcomes, with targeted therapies currently under investigation. We aimed to evaluate the association high Lp(a) standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs) for incident first acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
