Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a severe complication of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with mortality rates approaching 50%. The ability to identify high-risk patients prior the development CS may allow for pre-emptive measures prevent CS. objective was derive and externally validate simple, machine learning (ML)-based scoring system using variables readily available at first medical contact predict risk developing during hospitalization in ACS. Observational multicentre study on ACS hospitalized...
Recent advances in machine learning provide new possibilities to process and analyse observational patient data predict outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a processing pipeline for cardiogenic shock (CS) prediction from the MIMIC III database of intensive cardiac care unit patients with acute coronary syndrome. The ability identify high-risk could possibly allow taking pre-emptive measures thus prevent development CS. We mainly focus on techniques imputation missing by generating...
Mechanical assist device indications have changed in recent years. Reduced incidence of complications, better survival, and the third generation mechanical support devices contributed to this change. In single-center study, we focused on two time periods that are characterized by use different types devices, patient characteristics, change indications.
Abstract Background More than 64 million patients with heart failure (HF) are burdened poor quality of life, frequent hospitalizations, and high readmission rates. While HF reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) accounts for approximately half these patients, there is currently no effective tool performing cost-effective reliable early-stage screening. For this purpose, we derived cross-validated a machine learning (ML) based system capable identifying HFrEF on analysis the photoplethysmographic...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): Ministry Education, Science, Research and Sport the Slovak Republic VEGA Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a serious life-threatening condition affecting almost 10% patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Despite recent treatment improvements such as mechanical circulatory support devices (MCS), mortality remains 50%. It hypothesized that early implantation MCS...
The aim of this study is to summarize results and analyze risk factors for the development wound infection in heart surgery patients after median sternotomy.In retrospective analysis with assessment multiple factors, we examined 143 sternotomy treated VAC therapy from total 4,650 operated our department 2012 2015.Total developed significant SSI by following cardiac surgery. Of these, only 14 DSWI one patient was diagnosed suspected osteomyelitis. BMI, female gender, use BIMA proved be...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high risk of stroke preventable by timely initiation anticoagulation. Currently available screening tools based on ECG are not optimal due to inconvenience and costs. Aim this study was the diagnostic value apelin for AF in patients stroke. Methods: We designed a multicenter, matched-cohort study. The population consisted three groups: healthy control group (34 patients) two matched groups 60 (AF non-AF group). Apelin levels were...
INTRODUCTION: Based on a longtime voluntary registry founded by the Ministry of Healthcare Slovak Republic in 2012 and endorsed National Institute Cardiovascular Diseases, well-defi ned data all adult cardiac surgery procedures performed during year 2021 are analyzed.MATERIAL AND METHOD: For this period, 947 were submitted to registry.RESULTS: The unadjusted in-hospital survival rate for 352 isolated coronary artery bypass grafting including urgent emergency (relationship on-/off pump 3.8 :...
AIM: Asymptomatic atrial fi brillation (AF) detection and pulmonary veins isolation (PVI) outcome prediction remain challenging.Our aim was to study the association between apelin paroxysmal AF in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter PVI.METHODS: Sixty-three consecutive (55 ± 8years, 12 females) with without a structural heart disease implanted ECG loop recorders PVI healthy control group of 34 persons (41 9.5years, 21 were included.Apelin plasmatic concentrations measured before...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The relevance of the use intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in cardiogenic shock (CS) has been discussed over past years.The aim this study is to describe a singlecentre 10-year experience with IABP and analyse risk factors for 30-day mortality.METHODS: data single-centre, observational, retrospective were drawn from records dated January 2012 May 2022 pertaining patients presenting CS, treated hospitalised at Department Acute Cardiology, Institute Clinical...
The aim of this study was to investigate bleeding risk in patients treated with VKAs after ground-level falls, considering the type and severity bleeding.The designed as a retrospective cohort included total 204 elderly aged > 65 years for AF continuously warfarin more than 3 years. Data were obtained from hospital registries Bratislava, Slovakia. A 5-year assessment death/survival performed determine mortality.There no statistically significant difference severe (2.13 % falls vs 2.55...
Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition with mortality reaching 50% despite the use of mechanical circulatory support devices (MCS). It hypothesized that early implantation MCS before hemodynamic deterioration could prevent CS. For this purpose, we have developed and externally validated an AI model for CS prediction available as smartphone application (STOPSHOCK app). Research question: Could STOPSHOCK app identify ACS...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to present our experience in the treatment post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect and examine various risk factors.METHODS: This is a retrospective study.From January 2010 December 2018, 20 patients underwent an urgent /emergency surgical repair defect.RESULTS: mortality group 45 %.Non-survivors compared survivors were all cardiogenic shock (p=0.0098),had emergency/salvage operation (p=0.0055),preoperative mechanical ventilation...
Background and Objectives: Surgical revascularisation of patients with atherosclerosis the ascending aorta remains a challenge. Different surgical strategies have been described in coronary to offer alternative other than conventional unsuitable for it. The aim this study is compare real-world outcomes between two groups who underwent off-pump surgery (left internal mammary artery graft left anterior descending artery) or hybrid percutaneous procedure at later stage.
