Background: There are limited data on acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) stratified by chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Objective: To assess clinical outcomes in AMI-CS CKD Methods: A retrospective cohort of during 2005–2016 from the National Inpatient Sample was categorized as no CKD, stage-III (CKD-III), stage-IV (CKD-IV) and end-stage renal (ESRD). CKD-I/II were excluded. Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, use coronary angiography, percutaneous...
We present a case of man in his 70s who presented with worsening rectal and back pain associated weight loss, dyspnoea brownish discolouration urine. Physical examination noted abdominal distention epigastric tenderness. Laboratory investigations revealed acute kidney injury, hyperkalaemia, hyperphosphataemia hyperuricaemia. Contrast CT the abdomen/pelvis showed multiple, low-density masses throughout liver, suspicious for metastatic disease. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated large,...
Background There are limited data on the complications with a percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) vs. intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in acute myocardial infarction-cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). Objective To assess trends, rates and predictors of complications. Methods Using 17-year AMI-CS population from National Inpatient Sample, admissions receiving pLVAD IABP support were evaluated for vascular, lower limb amputation, hematologic, neurologic kidney injury (AKI) In-hospital...
Abstract Aims There are limited contemporary data on the use of initial fibrinolysis in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (STEMI‐CS). This study sought to compare outcomes STEMI‐CS receiving vs. primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods Using National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample from 2009 2017, a comparative effectiveness adult (>18 years) admissions pre‐hospital/in‐hospital were compared with those PPCI. Admissions alternate indications for...
