Background The incidence of cardiovascular disease among pregnant women is rising in the United States. Data on racial disparities for major events during pregnancy are limited. Methods and Results Pregnant post-partum hospitalized from January 2007 to December 2017 were identified Nationwide Inpatient Sample. outcomes interest included: in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism, peripartum cardiomyopathy. Multivariate regression analysis was used assess...
Significant aortic regurgitation (AR) leads to left ventricular (LV) remodeling; however, little data exist regarding sex-based differences in LV remodeling this setting. We sought compare and AR severity, assessed by echocardiography cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), discern differences. Patients with ≥ moderate chronic who underwent CMR within 90 days between December 2005 October 2015 were included. Nonlinear regression models built assess the effect of regurgitant fraction (RF) on...
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is an inflammatory granulomatous process of the myocardium that can be asymptomatic or have several different clinical phenotypes. One its rarely described presentations consists hypertrophy septal myocardium, similar to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Isolated cardiac haemodynamically mimics obstructive (HOCM) has been in literature.A 64-year-old Caucasian female previously diagnosed with non-critical aortic stenosis presented pre-syncope, and echocardiography...
Abstract Background Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) frequently have reduced exercise capacity, which can be associated subclinical cardiac dysfunction. Left ventricle global myocardial strain (LV-GLS) is a sensitive index to detect However, the clinical utility of LV-GLS during test remains uncertain. Purpose We assessed association functional capacity at rest and peak stress in HCM patients. Methods examined 566 asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic patients (54±14 years, 57%...
We report a case of 55-year-old male with history methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteremia whose initial transesophageal echocardiography revealed cardiac mass attached to the right atrium. Because uncommon location mass, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET was used confirm diagnosis infective endocarditis.
A 57-year-old man with end-stage heart failure presented incessant ventricular tachycardia in the setting of cardiogenic shock, requiring support a percutaneous left assist device. He underwent ablation tachycardia. Hours later console alarm was evident, and patient experienced worsening shock elevated central venous pressure, leading to diagnosis cardiac tamponade. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
