Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in asymptomatic individuals, whereas its role symptomatic patients is less clear. Purpose To assess the of CAC scoring MACE participants with stable chest pain initially referred invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Materials and Methods This prespecified subgroup analysis from Diagnostic Imaging Strategies Patients With Stable Chest Pain Intermediate Risk Artery Disease (DISCHARGE)...
Aims To evaluate temporal trends of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) treated via percutaneous intervention (PCI) throughout the COVID-19 outbreak in a European healthcare system affected but not overwhelmed by COVID-19-related pathology. Methods and results We performed retrospective multicentre analysis rates PCI for treatment ACS within period 2 months pre post first confirmed case Ireland, as well comparing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with corresponding 2019. During 2020 (29...
This case describes the management of a woman in her 70s with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and concomitant suprarenal abdominal aorta due to 'coral reef' calcification wall lumen (CRA). Due religious beliefs as Jehovah's Witness regarding use blood products, she rejected option surgical valve replacement. Transfemoral (TF) delivery transcatheter was challenged by presence CRA. A successful TF implantation (TAVI) achieved treatment CRA intravascular lithotripsy-assisted angioplasty,...
<h3>Aims</h3> To retrospectively compare performance outcomes and cost with use of Tiger versus Judkins diagnostic catheters <i>in trans</i>-radial coronary angiography. <h3>Methods</h3> The hospital's electronic database was used to review angiograms performed by four cardiology registrars, each acting as first operator under consultant supervision. Fifty-four days were reviewed between 16/10/17 23/4/18. First-choice catheter(s) assessed 1) need for additional 2) total Dose Area Product...
<h3>Aims</h3> To retrospectively review patients who presented with a STEMI to primary PCI centre between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2015, assess their 1 year mortality, refractory angina, unplanned revascularisation heart failure, compare these data underwent Primary following cardiac arrest or required inotropic support during the procedure. <h3>Methods</h3> We used hospitals registry obtain patient records for all STEMI. local electronic details about initial presentation follow...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is the modality of choice for diagnosing aortic atheroma. This characterized by irregular intimal thickening at least 2 mm, and has been shown to be associated with an increased risk ischaemic stroke. Based on association between atheroma stroke, 2016 European Society Cardiology guidelines allocate a CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score one patients documented evidence During TOE guided direct current cardioversion (DCCV)...
<h3>Background</h3> Infection of implantable cardiac electrical devices (ICEDs) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The rates are higher devices' replacement than primary device implantation. <h3>Aims objectives</h3> aim this project was to identify the ICEDs develop implement strategies reduce infection in our centre compliance best practice. <h3>Methods</h3> This a complete audit cycle completed tertiary assess impact change from cefuroxime 1.5 g Teicoplanin 10 mg/kg as...
