Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring may be a useful tool for assessing cardiovascular disease in young adults, particularly those with risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, or smoking. In this study, we aimed to address the developing noncalcified plaque adults by total burden. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1026 consecutive patients aged 18-45 years who underwent CAC and coronary computed tomography (CT) angiograms clinical indications. scores...
Ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation has improved quality of life and short-term survival for advanced heart failure patients. There are limited data from single-center studies addressing the characteristics etiologies 30 day readmissions after VAD implant. We used Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) 2014 to identify insertion implantable system during index admission. Primary secondary outcomes were leading etiologies, respectively. analyzed 1,481 patients who received primary...
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a of the systemic arterial tree and growing concern globally. It commonly affects lower extremities leads to increased mortality morbidity due its known association with coronary strokes. Over past several decades, advanced imaging has become major part in diagnosis management PAD, but there still no consensus agreement as preferred initial test choice. years, different trials, reviews, analyses have compared three primary modalities PAD: ultrasound,...
267 The traditional in vivo test for DST is re-transplantation of a second graft from the donor. Usually donor skin (DSG) common standard. Recently, variety studies our group and others have suggested wide spreads differences between organ survivals host models. In addition, immunobiological rejection mechanisms organs such as kidney heart been documented. We tested primary secondary grafts rat model using pre-transplant spleen injections ATG. Cardiac allografts (ACI→Lewis) were markedly...
