Background: Leadless pacemakers offer a safe and effective alternative pacing strategy. However, limited data are available for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), population of significant relevance. Methods: Using the Nationwide Readmission Database, we extracted from all adult ESRD who underwent traditional transvenous or leadless pacemaker implantation between 2016 2021. We compared in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission rates, complication healthcare resource utilization...
Background: There are limited data on the impact of right heart failure (RHF) patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We investigated mortality, in-hospital complications, length stay, and total hospitalization charges for TAVI admissions, with without RHF. Methods: analyzed National Inpatient Sample from 2018 to 2022. The International Classification Diseases–Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes were used define patient cohorts. Propensity score weighting was balance...
Infective endocarditis (IE) primarily affects the endocardium of heart valves. Neurologic manifestations include strokes, intracerebral hemorrhages, meningitis, cerebral and spinal abscess, mycotic aneurysms. Although rare, meningitis is a potentially life-threatening complication IE, so physicians should be aware this rare fatal IE.Here, authors present case 53-year-old male who presented with bacterial secondary to IE. His blood culture was positive for methicillin-sensitive staphylococcal...
Key Clinical Message Immune checkpoint inhibitors can rarely lead to occurrence of myositis, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis (MG). Early recognition multidisciplinary management are crucial for optimal outcomes. Vigilance overlapping toxicities is essential in patients receiving combination immunotherapy. Abstract The use immune (ICIs) has revolutionized cancer treatment, but it associated with immune‐related adverse events (IRAEs) affecting various organ systems. simultaneous MG,...

Brugada syndrome is an aberrant ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It can progress into sudden cardiac death (SCD) among patients with structurally normal hearts. Most are asymptomatic at presentation, but those who develop symptoms present syncope due to other arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Early diagnosis and appropriate management prevent future complications a significant family history.
Introduction In the context of collective efforts taken in Japan to control spread COVID-19, state emergency and social distancing have caused a negative impact on mental health all residents, including foreign communities Japan. This study aimed evaluate level anxiety its associated factors among non-Japanese residents residing during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A web-based survey 13 languages was conducted living situation. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory assessed anxiety–State (STAI-S)...
Pulmonary Endarterectomy (PE) is the definitive treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Patient selection for PE complex and influenced by location obstruction, degree hemodynamic impairment co-morbidities. Reduced ejection fraction an independent risk factor postoperative mortality, increased venous return following surgery can further stress failing left heart. We aim to evaluate difference in in-hospital outcomes among patients undergoing with without systolic...
Coronary Artery Anomalies (CAA) are a group of congenital conditions characterized by an abnormal origin or source coronary arteries, and often identified in young patients after sudden cardiac death. Despite their increasing recognition during imaging, these remain relatively rare, the prognostic implications incidental CAA not yet clear. Our study aims to assess impact on in-hospital outcomes with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We all admissions principal diagnosis STEMI,...
Surgical patients with sleep apnea experience more peri-operative complications, including all-cause mortality. Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) offers an alternative for poor surgical candidates, yet data on the association between and TMVR outcomes are scarce. admissions (2016-2020) from NIS Database, identified by ICD-10 codes, were analyzed, comparing without using multivariate regression. In analysis of 38,770 procedures 6,100(15.73%) had co-morbid (Table 1). However, no...
Despite advancements and standardization of care, significant racial disparities persist in the management outcomes ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Given that patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) experience particularly worse from STEMI, we aim to evaluate resource utilization STEMI ESRD. We extracted data National Inpatient Sample Database 2016 2020 using ICD-10 codes. Admissions a principal diagnosis were identified. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality, while...
Percutaneous Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty (PBPA) is a potential treatment option for patients with inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Hypertension (CTEPH). While newer, more effective techniques are associated lower rates of morbidity and mortality, there lack data on real-world clinical usage patterns. This study aims to investigate contemporary trends, patient characteristics, in-hospital mortality undergoing PBPA. We conducted retrospective using the National Inpatient Sample Database...
Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) was designed to reduce lead and pocket related complications by creating an extrathoracic defibrillator system without need for venous access. However, there is limited data on the clinical characteristics outcomes of patients undergoing S-ICD implantation in real-world settings.
e24029 Background: Radiation therapy (RT) for malignancy in mediastinal region is associated with radiation-induced heart disease subsequent years, including coronary, valvular, myocardial, pericardial and conduction system disease. Although increased risk of diastolic failure (DHF) has been established, there limited data on the prevalence, trends outcomes acute DHF admissions patients prior RT. Methods: We extracted from National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database 2016 to 2020. included all...
