Increased left ventricular myocardial mass (LVM) is a well known prognostic marker of poor cardiac outcomes. Decreases in LVM have been shown to decrease the cardiovascular risk. Aged garlic extract (AGE) has an overall favorable effect on health; however, best our knowledge, no study date specifically examined its effects mass. This investigated whether AGE can affect measured by computed tomography angiography (CCTA) patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). double‑blind, placebo controlled...
HIV infection has been associated with diastolic heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in left ventricular mass (LVM), end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), (LAV) indexed body surface area (left index, index [LVEDVI], [LAVI], respectively). Cross-sectional 721 men [425 HIV-infected (HIV+), 296 HIV-uninfected (HIV−) enrolled the cardiovascular substudy Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS). Participants underwent cardiac computed...
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are increasingly used to treat a wide variety of malignancies. The long-term cardiovascular risk profile ICI therapy remains incompletely understood. Methods: All patients at single academic center receiving any between 2015 and 2023 were identified. Using ICD codes, we adjudicated major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after initiation therapy, defined as composite endpoint coronary artery disease (CAD), acute syndrome (ACS), cardiomyopathy...
Background: Postoperative left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) is a known phenomenon, however, risk factors are not fully delineated. Methods: We performed single-center retrospective analysis of all OLT from 2015 to 2022 and identified cases which post-OLT ejection fraction (LVEF) was less than or equal 45% within one year. Controls were using 1:1 propensity matching on the variables age, sex, pre-OLT Model for End-Stage Liver...
A fifty-year-old woman with no past medical history presented typical angina and dyspnea. Chest radiography was suggestive of Scimitar syndrome, a diagnosis that confirmed coronary CT angiography. The patient managed surgically has been symptom-free since surgical repair.
Background: Surgical feeding ostomies (SFO, e.g. gastrostomy) have replaced natural orifice tubes (NOFT, nasogastric tube) as the preferred route for long-term enteral nutrition. Reports of complication rates SFO vary. Many hospitalized patients are required to accept before hospital discharge due skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) policy, and without supportive data. We compare adverse event between NOFT.Methods: A prospective cohort study enterally fed inpatients using semiweekly focused...
