Heart failure (HF) remains a major health problem affecting 5.7 million adults in USA. Data on the association of egg consumption with incident HF have been inconsistent. We, therefore, conducted this meta-analysis prospective cohort studies to assess relation general population.Using extensive online search, we new onset following exposure consumption. A random effects model was used and between heterogeneity estimated I2. Publication bias assessed graphically using funnel plot. All...
It is unclear if anomalous coronary arteries are at higher risk for atherosclerosis. The link between artery and early disease has been suggested. aim of this study to determine whether the anomaly predisposes development significant disease. Using retrospective chart review, patients with documented recognized during angiography years 2000 2007 were analyzed. Prevalence atherosclerotic (defined as more than 50% luminal narrowing) was compared normal coronaries. A total 147 found. Right most...
Pyrethroids are the major components of various commercially used insect repellants. These less toxic to humans due their slow absorption and rapid metabolism. However, cases suicidal accidental poisoning with household insecticides not uncommon. We report a case 59-year-old female who presented syncope after an exposure bed bug repellant spray at home. She was found be in complete heart block treated conservatively. There resolution symptoms atrioventricular conduction abnormality on day 2...
Introduction: Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) & valve-in-ring (ViR) are relatively novel therapeutic alternatives for patients with degenerated bioprostheses or failed annuloplasty rings whose reoperative risk is too high. The predominant procedural access both procedures transapical transseptal. However, whether there differences in outcomes of this procedure using transseptal versus has not yet been defined. Methods: We conducted a systematic review all published articles from...
Blunt trauma to chest cause injury various cardiac structures. Isolated rupture of aortic valve without dissection is rare complication blunt and can be caused by a tear or avulsion the valve. We report case 35-year-old male who presented with severe insufficiency due non-infected congenital bicuspid following non-penetrating trauma. The diagnosis was suggested echocardiography confirmed intra-operative histological findings. patient successfully treated surgical replacement uneventful...
Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a recently described variant of classic TCM. In contrast to TCM, the regional wall motion abnormalities are localized in basal segments. The condition can be triggered by acute stressful events, including medical illnesses. and left ventricular dysfunction usually completely reversible. We present case an 84-year-old man with complicated postoperative course after laparoscopic cholecystectomy multiple laparotomies recurrent sepsis. Echocardiographic...
In-training examination (ITE) has been used as a predictor of performance at the American Board Internal Medicine (ABIM) certifying examination. ITE however may not be an ideal modality it is held once year and represents snapshots compared with trend. We instituted monthly tests (MTs) to continually assess trainees throughout their residency.To determine predictors ABIM whether MTs can tool predict passing examination.The MTs, core competencies, scores were analyzed for cohort graduates who...
