Background: Crises such as pandemics and wars significantly impact cardiovascular health, particularly ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). The COVID-19 pandemic led to overwhelmed healthcare systems delayed care, while the October 2023 war in Israel posed unique challenges, including altered patient behavior access care. This study compares STEMI outcomes during these two crisis periods, focusing on mortality care pathways. Methods: retrospective cohort study, conducted at Soroka...
Abstract Background ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a critical condition, especially in the older population, who are at increased risk due to comorbidities and delayed diagnosis. This study aimed investigate impact of ethnicity on clinical characteristics, treatment timelines, outcomes patients with STEMI southern Israel, comparing Jewish Bedouin populations. Methods We conducted retrospective cohort Soroka University Medical Center from 2016 2022, including (≥ 65 years)...
Abstract Background and Aims Amiodarone-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most severe adverse effect of amiodarone treatment. Most data on amiodarone-related ILD are derived from periods when was given at higher doses than currently used. Methods A nationwide population-based study conducted among patients with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) between 1 December 1999 31 2021. Amiodarone-exposed were matched 1:1 controls unexposed to based age, sex, ethnicity, AF diagnosis...
In COVID-19 patients, lung ultrasound is superior to chest radiograph and has good agreement with computerized tomography diagnose pathologies. Most protocols published date are complex time-consuming. We describe a new illustrative Point-of-care Lung Injury Score (PLIS) help guide the care of patients assess if PLIS would be able predict patients' clinical course.This retrospective study describing novel was conducted in large tertiary-level hospital. were included they required any form...
Introduction: An ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a clinical syndrome defined by symptoms of ischemia, persistent electrocardiographic ST-segment elevation and subsequent release biomarkers suggestive necrosis. In practice, echocardiography has become essential in evaluating patients after acute infarction. We aimed to assess echocardiographic parameters that may affect LV function recovery STEMI. Methods: This study retrospective observational from tertiary referral center...
Early activation of the emergency medical service (EMS) is crucial for care patients with STEMI.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition with the potential to progress right heart failure. Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS), used and interpreted in real time at bedside further cardiopulmonary assessment, has improve longitudinal care of PAH patients ambulatory setting. Patients from clinics two academic medical centers were randomized either POCUS assessment cohort or non-POCUS standard (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05332847). The group received blinded heart,...
Abstract Background The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected millions of people worldwide, is associated with a chronic fatigue sequela, also known as long-COVID. While various adverse effects COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system were reported, prolonged sequela heart rhythm remains unknown. Aim To describe prevalence cardiac dysrhythmias among patients who presented Long Covid following recovery from infection. Methods We conducted prospective study 87 suffered syndrome and...
