Data on the health burden of COVID-19 among Asian American people various ethnic subgroups remain limited. We examined outcomes and other racial groups in an urban safety net hospital system.We conducted a retrospective analysis 85 328 adults aged ≥18 tested for at New York City's public system from March 1 through May 31, 2020. positivity, hospitalization, mortality, as well demographic characteristics comorbidities known to worsen outcomes. adjusted multivariable regression analyses...
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the procedure of choice for patients with acute syndrome (ACS), as it significantly improves cardiovascular outcomes. However, considerable uncertainty persists regarding potential sex differences in PCI outcomes, due to conflicting results previous studies. This meta-analysis aims evaluate sex-related adverse outcomes after among ACS patients. The primary outcome was major events (MACE) and its components. Outcomes were examined various...
Background: The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) highlights the ongoing gender inequities in medical profession, particularly pay, leadership roles, workplace treatment, and work-life integration. Objective: To present evidence of disparities medicine, analyze their root causes, propose strategies for fostering a more equitable inclusive environment. Findings: Despite progress, women physicians continue to face significant disparities, including lower salaries, underrepresentation...
Abstract There is growing recognition of the burden COVID-19 among Asian Americans, but data on outcomes ethnic subgroups remain extremely limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis 85,328 patients tested for at New York City’s public hospital system between March 1 and May 31, 2020, to describe characteristics compared Asians overall other racial/ethnic groups. South had highest rates positivity hospitalization Asians, second only Hispanics Blacks hospitalization. Chinese mortality rate...
Ethnic and sex-based disparity in outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may exist could be due to social factors inequality care. We aimed study whether ethnic differences occurred a safety net hospital within the largest municipal healthcare system United States.We conducted retrospective cohort of patients successfully resuscitated from an OHCA brought New York City Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, January 2019 September 2021. Out-of-hospital characteristics, do not resuscitate...
IntroductionTroponins are known to be released in response cardiac damage and therefore the biomarkers of choice for early diagnosis acute myocardial infarction (AMI), improving outcome patients presenting with chest pain. However, false results can occur due interference from other substances blood.CaseA 52-year-old male a past medical history alcohol abuse, hypertension, coronary artery bypass graft at age 34 normal stress test 2 years before presented emergency department (ED) complaining...
Background Amiodarone causes less drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP) compared to other class III antiarrhythmics. Two theories proposed for this finding include that amiodarone has repolarization heterogeneity, and/or decreases early after depolarization (EADs). Corrected QT (QTc) dispersion as measured on a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) represents spatial heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization. Objective The purpose study was analyze the difference in between and antiarrhythmics...
This report details cases of uterine fibroid-associated deep vein thrombosis leading to massive pulmonary embolism, as well the likely associated physiology. Two women, aged 33 and 37, presented with embolism. They both had large sizes no underlying thrombophilia. Case 1 an uncomplicated course, whereas 2 a course complicated by cardiac arrest prolonged recovery. The presence fibroids enhances coagulation platelet adhesion. Mechanical compression also plays role in predisposing thrombosis....
Pericardial effusion, commonly associated with malignancies such as lung, breast, and esophageal cancers through local extension, or leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma via metastatic dissemination, is rarely observed in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This report presents a rare case of large loculated pericardial effusion 68-year-old male, potentially linked to RCC, who concurrently presented an inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The patient, history hypertension,...
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.
Abstract Background Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), a stress-induced transient left ventricular dysfunction, remains poorly understood, with an estimated incidence of 1-2% among acute coronary cases. This study investigates racial and ethnic disparities in hospital outcomes clinical characteristics TTS. Methods We conducted retrospective cohort using the National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020, identifying TTS cases through validated ICD-10 codes. Statistical analysis was performed Stata...
