Background Atrial fibrillation is associated with higher mortality. Identification of causes death and contemporary risk factors for all‐cause mortality may guide interventions. Methods Results In the Rivaroxaban Once Daily Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibition Compared Vitamin K Antagonism Prevention Stroke Embolism Trial in Fibrillation (ROCKET AF) study, patients nonvalvular atrial were randomized to rivaroxaban or dose‐adjusted warfarin. Cox proportional hazards regression backward...
Aortic valve replacement accounts for a significant portion of cardiac surgeries in the United States. Despite advances prosthetic heart design, surgical technique, and postoperative care, complications after aortic remain leading cause morbidity mortality. Routine surveillance valves with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal (TEE), fluoroscopy is important, as these techniques allow accurate detection dysfunction. However, may not identification specific underlying cause,...
Metabolic syndrome (MS) increases cardiovascular risk and is associated with cardiac dysfunction arrhythmias, although the precise mechanisms are still under study. Chronic inflammation in MS has emerged as a possible cause of adverse events. Male Wistar rats fed 30% sucrose drinking water standard chow for 25–27 weeks were compared to control group. The group showed increased weight, visceral fat, blood pressure, serum triglycerides. most important cytokines included IL‐1 β (7‐fold), TNF‐ α...
<i>Background:</i> Abnormal heart rate (HR) recovery at 1 min after exercise (≤12 beats) was recently suggested to be a predictor of all cause and cardiac mortality. <i>Aim:</i> This study aimed (1) correlate HR with known myocardial perfusion markers increased mortality, (2) compare the mortality between patients normal abnormal exercise. <i>Methods:</i> One hundred or suspected coronary artery disease referred for stress testing (ETT) were prospectively...
A previously healthy young man presented with a 12-hour history of sudden dyspnea and severe chest pain at rest. Initial findings physical examination, electrocardiogram radiography showed typical pericarditis clinical instability. Echocardiogram revealed small pericardial effusion right ventricle dilatation. The patient was admitted in the ICU; new echocardiogram moderate diagnosis complicated acute cardiac tamponade established. transiently improved after window. In following hours,...
Abstract Purpose To study the feasibility of a combined high spatial and temporal resolution real‐time spiral MRI sequence for guiding coronary‐sized vascular interventions. Materials Methods Eight New Zealand White rabbits (four normal four with surgically‐created stenosis in abdominal aorta) were studied. A interactive combining 1.1 × mm 2 in‐plane 189‐msec total image acquisition time was used to all phases an interventional procedure (i.e., guidewire placement, balloon angioplasty,...
Background: Fast-track worldwide reperfusion programs improve outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction and stroke. Similar called Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) focus on submassive massive pulmonary embolism (PE) excluding deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods: PREVENTION-team (Hospital Zambrano Hellion Venous Thromboembolism [VTE] Rapid Response). Primary objective: stratification, diagnostics, treatment (60-90 min) to proximal DVT PE patients care.Secondary objectives:...
Despite the elevated mortality rates associated with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), this condition remains understudied. Data regarding effectiveness and safety of invasive therapies such as venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patient population controversial. Here, we present case a 61-year-old male PE refractory cardiac arrest cardiogenic shock who underwent combination cardiopulmonary resuscitation VA-ECMO pharmaco-invasive therapy (mechanical thrombi...
<i>Aim:</i> To determine whether the use of inhaled β-agonists decreases duration dobutamine stress testing (DAS), reduces amount infused and atropine. <i>Methods:</i> 34 patients on (group A) (mean age 65 ± 8 years) 32 not or β-blockers B) 10 undergoing DAS with SPECT were enrolled. <i>Results:</i> The time infusion in group A was 6.41 1.58 min B 9.77 3.60 (p < 0.001). 10.64 5 mg 19.20 In A, 2 18 needed atropine to reach peak HR...
To correlate the left ventricular parameters obtained with 64-slice Volumetric Computed Tomography (VCT) those reference standard, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.VCT and a 3.0T MRI scanner were used. Results from both studies independently evaluated by two cardiologists. A linear correlation paired Student's t test used to analyze data P<0.05 being considered significant.Thirty consecutive patients VCT CMR. The indices for CMR were, respectively, mass 86.4±25.8 vs....
