Lymphopenia is associated with adverse prognosis in chronic disease states that are related to immune dysregulation. We aimed determine the association between lymphopenia and mortality patients presenting coronary angiography investigate whether elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW), an established cardiovascular prognostic marker, further refines risk stratification.Retrospective analysis of undergoing for evaluation or treatment artery 2003 2018. Mortality relative...
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about potential links between SARS-CoV-2 infection and autoimmune diseases. This study investigated changes in the incidence rate (IR) of diseases among children following pandemic's onset. A retrospective cross-sectional analyzed data from Clalit Health Services, Israel's largest healthcare provider, examining IR different aged 0-18. compared pre-pandemic (2019) with pandemic/post-pandemic periods (2020-2023), encompassing a cohort over 1.5 million...
Introduction There is paucity of data regarding lipid goal attainment after coronary-artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and its impact on adverse outcomes. We aimed to investigate the goals association between plasma levels achieved CABG mortality. Methods Retrospective analysis 1230 patients undergoing CABG. Mortality was examined in relation most-recent attained, categorized by clinically-relevant thresholds, according improvement from pre-operative levels. Results Low-density lipoprotein...
Background: Ethnic minorities may face disparities in access to health care and clinical outcomes. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has an established role treatment of patients with severe symptomatic stenosis, however outcome these procedures among different demographics within the multi-ethnic Israeli society is unknown. We sought compare mortality following TAVR between Jewish Arab Israel. Methods: A prospective single-center registry northern Israel was analyzed. compared...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is often more extensive in older adults and may involve multivessel left main coronary (LMCA) disease. Elderly patients are commonly excluded from clinical trials, limited real-world data exist on the management of LMCA very old. We aimed to investigate features outcomes old undergoing revascularization due disease.A retrospective single-center analysis at least 80 years (n = 139) who underwent owing CAD involving unprotected stenosis than 50% was conducted....
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been widely used as an alternative treatment for heart failure, however, aortic regurgitation is a common complication in patients with LVAD support. And the O-A angle (the between outflow graft and aorta) considered vital factor associated function of valve. To date, biomechanical effect on valve remains largely unknown. The aim this study was to evaluate how influence properties. current employed novel fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model that...
This case describes management of recurrent valve migration during a TAVR procedure in patient with hypertrophic and hyperdynamic left ventricle. Since anchoring an optimal position within the aortic annulus was not possible, intentionally deployed deep ventricular outflow tract. used as site for additional valve, which achieved hemodynamic result clinical outcome outcome.
Background/Objectives: We sought to evaluate changes in hemoglobin level and renal function patients 5–12 months after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), examine possible relationships between these changes. Anemia is common older people with severe stenosis (AS). The two most etiologies for anemia this population are iron deficiency due gastrointestinal blood loss failure. Angiodysplasia the system a feature of AS syndrome. Methods: collected clinical data, including before TAVR...
Cardiac tamponade complicating transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) typically results from right ventricular (RV) injury induced by a pacemaker electrode, left (LV) guidewires and catheters used during the procedure, rupture of annulus implantation. We retrospectively analysed our institutional TAVR database to gain mechanistic insights relating this complication. A total 1247 procedures were performed 2010 2024. complicated 21 (1.7%) these procedures. There was nonsignificant...
Abstract Background Lymphopenia has been shown to be associated with adverse prognosis in chronic disease states that are related immune dysregulation. Purpose We aimed determine the association between lymphopenia and all-cause mortality patients presenting coronary angiography or without acute syndromes (ACS). also investigated whether elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW), an established cardiovascular prognostic marker, further refines risk stratification improves predictive...
Background: Myocardial ischemia may lead to lethal arrhythmias. Treatment of these arrhythmias without addressing the cause be futile. The length resuscitation is an important parameter for determining when stop but with shockable rhythms and reversible cardiac arrest, decision terminate complex. Case Summary: A patient a three-month history shortness breath effort developed pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) at early stages stress test. In coronary angiography, critical lesion in right...
