Since their introduction in 1958, traditional cardiac pacemakers have undergone considerable upgrades over the years, but they continue to a complication rate of ∼3.8%-12.4%. There are no randomized controlled trials comparing outcomes leadless (LPM) with single-chamber transvenous (TV-VVI). The aim is assess differences procedural complications and in-hospital between LPM TV-VVI implants.
BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage heart failure and low pulmonary capillary wedge pressure are referred to as cold dry represent an understudied minority in whom the benefit of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is unclear. METHODS: Adults receiving LVADs between 2006 2017 Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support database were classified wet (pulmonary >15 mm Hg) ≤15 based on pre-LVAD hemodynamics obtained via right catheterization. The primary...
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful but operator-dependent tool for left atrial (LA) anatomical rendering during fibrillation (AF) ablation. The CARTOSOUND FAM Module, new deep learning (DL) imaging algorithm, has the potential to overcome this limitation. This study aims evaluate feasibility of algorithm compared cardiac computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing AF ablation.In 28 ablation, baseline patient information was recorded, and three-dimensional (3D) shells LA body...
A significant increase in the use of computed tomography with pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for diagnosis embolism (PE) has been observed past twenty years. We aimed to investigate whether validated diagnostic predictive tools and D-dimers were adequately utilized a large public hospital New York City.We conducted retrospective review patients who underwent CTPA specific indication ruling out PE over period one year. Two independent reviewers, blinded each other D-dimer results, estimated...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether early initiation catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in patients presenting with acute pulmonary embolism associated improved in-hospital outcomes. A retrospective cohort was extracted from the 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample database, consisting 21,730 weighted admissions undergoing CDT PE. From time admission, sample divided into (<48 h) and late interventions (>48 h). Outcomes were measured using regression analysis propensity score...
Type V hyperlipoproteinemia or multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome is a rare lipid disorder triggered mainly by uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, poor diet, particular medications. It associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis and accelerated coronary artery disease which may manifest in younger age groups. We present case 42-year-old male who presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining non-healing hand injury. Upon laboratory workup, patient was found have elevated...
Mitral valve aneurysm is a rare imaging finding most caused by infective endocarditis. The concurrent presence of an aortic unique and foretells severe presentation that would require replacement during the same admission.
Catheter Directed Embolectomy (CDE) is a growing modality in the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE). We aim to study predictors early (within 48 hours) comparison late (> 48hours) CDE intervention. The National Inpatient Sample database was queried from years 2016-2019 obtain our sample PE admissions using appropriate ICD-10-CM codes primary diagnosis field. Those with concurrent ischemic stroke, limb ischemia, or coronary revascularization same admission were excluded and cohort divided...
Watchman insertion is a procedure done for atrial fibrillation or flutter patients unable to tolerate chronic anticoagulation therapy. We aim study the sex disparities found in periprocedural outcomes and complications among undergoing this procedure. The National Inpatient Sample was queried between 2016 2019 using ICD-10 clinical modification codes I48x flutter. Patients who underwent left appendage occlusion (LAAO) were identified procedural code 02L73DK. Comorbidities ICD diagnosis...
Introduction: Pulmonary Embolism (PE) can be challenging to diagnose. Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated models help improve the diagnostic accuracy of detecting PE. Aim: Establish AI-generated in predicting PE as compared routinely used predictive tools (Well’s score, YEARS and revised Geneva score). Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review patients who underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for diagnosing over one-year period. Twenty-five...
ABSTRACT Learning from the healthcare system's response to COVID-19 pandemic is essential better prepare for potential future crises. We sought assess mortality rates patients admitted acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and analyze which factors demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with this primary endpoint. performed retrospective analysis of hospitalized diagnosis HF within New York City Health Hospitals 11-hospital system across different COVID surge periods....
Isolated native valve endocarditis (INVE) after prosthetic implantation (PVI) is a rare form of valvular infection. The contributing factors, management, and outcomes for INVE are not as well defined (PVE). A systematic review PubMed, Embase, Web Science was done to identify cases PVI. examined with respect its incidence PVI, age group, gender, comorbidity, infecting pathogen, type, left ventricular ejection fraction, treatment mortality rate. 166 were identified from total 3500 IE mean...
