Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently seen with atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated increased cardiovascular morbidity, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, ischemic disease, stroke. However, the impact of OSA on in-hospital outcomes patients AF unclear. Methodology All aged ≥18 admitted primarily for between January 2016 December 2017 were identified in National Inpatient Sample database. They then categorized into those without OSA. The primary outcome was...
Heart failure (HF) remains one of the leading causes death in United States. While many large-scale studies show a positive relationship between cardiovascular mortality and body mass index (BMI), several have also observed lower rates among obese HF patients. Therefore, we sought to assess impact BMI on in-hospital outcomes patients admitted with HF.Patients hospitalized congestive heart (CHF) diagnosis 2005 2014 were identified from US National Inpatient Sample database using...
Background Substance use is widely prevalent among young adults and associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity mortality such as sudden cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy. However, they are limited studies analyzing the impact of substance disorder on in-hospital outcomes patients events. Methods All aged 18-39 years admitted primarily for major events including myocardial infarction (AMI), arrhythmia, ischemic stroke, venous thromboembolic in 2019...
Abstract Background An increasing correlation between atrial fibrillation (AF) and a heightened risk of cardiac arrest is emerging. Yet, the specific predictors in hospitalized patients with AF remain unclear. Purpose This study aims to identify these predictors, providing essential insights for refined assessment targeted clinical interventions. Methods Adult 2018 2020 primary diagnosis or without were identified using International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) code....
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been recognized as a global health problem. Concurrent MetS diagnosis in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is becoming increasingly common. Given the paucity of studies on impact treatment outcomes STEMI patients, purpose this study was to evaluate in-hospital mortality concurrent undergoing stenting procedure treat their underlying coronary artery disease. Method Patients or without who underwent following between 2005 and 2014...
Background This study elucidates recent trends in application and match rates the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Match. We hypothesized that (1) have increased with time; (2) are highest for US allopathic graduates; (3) most candidates at 1 of their top 3 ranked fellowship choices. Methods Results was a retrospective cohort all applicants Match from 2010 to 2021 (n=14 674). Chi-square tests were used compare over time by applicant archetype (US graduates non-US graduates). The annual...
Pulmonic valve endocarditis is a rare and clinically elusive identity, commonly associated with congenital heart malformations intravenous (IV) drug abuse. We describe case of 40-year-old male who has established sickle cell disease presented pain crisis, febrile episodes, oxygen desaturation on room air. The clinical presentation echocardiographic findings pulmonic mass were consistent the diagnosis endocarditis. Due to small size vegetation, patient was treated antibiotics discharged home oxygen.
This article presents a case report highlighting the association between fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and acute myocardial infarction in 25-year-old female patient with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities. Initially presenting hypertensive emergency, subsequently developed coronary syndrome. MRI revealed irregular narrowing of bilateral renal arteries, consistent diagnosis FMD. Further evaluation through cardiac catheterization confirmed 95% stenosis mid-circumflex artery, necessitating...
We report the case of a 71-year-old African American male with history chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, vitiligo, penicillin allergy, and cocaine use, who presented respiratory symptoms was diagnosed sepsis, COVID-19 pneumonia, exacerbation COPD, acute kidney injury (AKI). Treatment included antibiotics high-dose steroids. The patient developed thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, liver interstitial nephritis associated prolonged ibuprofen use. High-dose...
To assess temporal changes in clinical profile and in-hospital outcome of patients with amyloidosis presenting non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI.
Sickle cell disease (SCD), the most common genetic disorder globally, is often associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). Many these patients have central lines placed for purposes repeated medication administration, blood transfusions, and draw, further increasing VTE. Given non-specific presentation VTE pulmonary embolism, as well mortality if interventions are delayed, a high index suspicion required early diagnosis condition. We report case 35-year-old woman...
Orthostatic hypotension and atrial fibrillation have common etiology a bidirectional relationship with several cardiovascular conditions. Despite both conditions being highly prevalent in hospitalized patients, prior research has primarily evaluated adverse outcomes due to orthostatic independent of each other. In this study, we aim assess if the presence exacerbates in-hospital patients hypotension.Adult 2019 primary diagnosis or without pre-existing were identified using International...
Background: It is well-known that African American (AA) patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) have a higher incidence of stroke in comparison to the general population. To our knowledge, limited data exist on gender disparities risk factors contributing among AA patients. The objective this study identify for AF by comparing females and males AF. Methods: aged 18 years old or above diagnosis were included study. Patients selected from 2019 national inpatient sample. primary outcome interest...
Despite optimum guideline directed medical therapy, one-year mortality rate of patients with end stage heart failure exceeds 50%. The use mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been shown to improve the overall quality life in advance failure. Studies have explored disparities clinical outcome undergoing for acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Data on sex-specific, racial, socioeconomic requiring MCS as a bridge-to-transplant or destination therapy is limited. Using most...
