The purpose of this study is to examine the peak sagittal plane joint angles and moments lower extremity during deep squat (DS) movement Functional Movement Screen (FMS) assess differences between classifications (1,2,3). Twenty-eight participants volunteered for were screened their FMS score on DS task. All underwent a quantitative analysis performing at self-selected speed. in Group 3 exhibited greater dorsiflexion excursion compared those 1. Participants had knee flexion than 2 who more...
Relationships between various ethnicities and glioma subtype have recently been established. As a tertiary referral center for Latin America the Caribbean, our institution treats diverse glioblastoma (GBM) population. We sought to clarify role of ethnicity on patient prognosis in GBM also compared these findings group consisting elderly patients. included 'elderly' as because subgroups within them were too small. It allowed us put scope effects overall survival. Material Methods: After...
Abstract Background Women have a higher prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and present at more advanced stages as compared with men. Given the high operative mortality associated valve (TV) surgery, transcatheter interventions (TTVI) emerged promising treatment option. We explored sex‐based differences among patients significant TR who would be expected to eligible for TTVI. Methods Between March 2021–2022, 12,677 unique adult underwent transthoracic echocardiogram our tertiary care...
Midodrine is occasionally used off-label to treat hypotension associated with advanced heart failure (HF); however, its association changes in prescription of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) unknown. We sought evaluate the effect midodrine on GDMT pattern and clinical outcomes patients decompensated systolic HF. retrospectively identified 114 admitted our hospital 2020 HF who were prescribed discharge compared them 358 not midodrine. At 6 months, group had more initiation or...
A 49 year old previously healthy woman presented to her general practitioner with a two week history of progressive headaches, forgetfulness, and decreased visual acuity. She had no other symptoms or findings note. On examination, she was oriented person, location, time. Her heart rate 78 beats/min, respiratory 18 breaths/min, blood pressure 116/78 mm Hg. afebrile meningeal signs. Physical examination identified right homonymous hemianopsia but neurological cognitive deficits. There evidence...
Abstract Background Midodrine is occasionally used off-label to treat hypotension associated with advanced heart failure. Its association changes in prescription of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has not previously been evaluated. Objectives We sought evaluate the clinical characteristics and GDMT prescriptions failure patients who were prescribed midodrine. Methods performed a retrospective cohort study identifying all admitted our hospital 2020 decompensated systolic midodrine...
ABSTRACT Background More than moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high mortality. Surgical valve repair and replacements are rarely performed due to operative mortality risk, mainly attributed late presentation. Novel transcatheter intervention (TTVI) devices being developed as an alternative surgery. The population of patients presenting tertiary care centers who can benefit from TTVI has not been well defined. Our objective was study the characteristics these define...
We present a novel complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) involving prosthetic migration due to entanglement by standard guidewire during non-large bore vascular access closure, followed successful bail-out using second prosthesis. To our knowledge, this mechanism prosthesis has not been previously described.
A 24-year-old gravida 3 para 1 woman with history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement complicated by patient-prosthesis mismatch presented for prenatal care. Her pregnancy was managed a multidisciplinary cardio-obstetrics team, resulting in an uncomplicated repeat cesarean section at term.
Background: Coronary angiography is frequently performed after the initial diagnosis of heart failure to determine etiology and revascularization strategy. Current body evidence suggests that surgical conveys a mortality benefit as compared medical therapy alone, role percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) not yet established. The aim this study describe patterns among patients presenting with systolic who underwent diagnostic at large urban county hospital. Methods: We evaluated emergency...
Early bioprosthetic mitral valve failure is uncommon, but cases can present with symptomatic heart and require careful attention evaluation. Transcatheter replacement a minimally invasive treatment for dysfunction that have considerable impact, particularly those who are at high surgical risk or history of failure. We rare case significant regurgitation due to the unexpected premature was implanted three years prior. This patient treated transcatheter implantation an Edwards SAPIEN Ultra...
Introduction: Right ventricular failure (RVF) after left assist device (LVAD) implantation is a feared complication. ventricle (RV) dysfunction by echocardiogram prior to LVAD implant significant risk factor for post-LVAD RVF. However, RV’s unique crescent shape makes it difficult accurate assessment through echocardiogram. Cardiac MRI can image RV in its entirety and the gold standard evaluating size function. Hypothesis: Our study aimed assess comprehensively cardiac before predict severe...
