Objective: Opium is an overwhelming public health problem in some countries. Different studies have suggested this drug as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although the effect of opium on immune system, lung disease, nephropathy, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmia has been found different studies, its postoperation complications not clear yet. The authors conducted study to assess post operation hospital among patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft.Design: retrospectively...
Abstract Anemia is an indisputable finding in patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) that can occur any time preoperatively. In presence of severe disease, anemia dramatically affect surgical outcomes. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the effect low preoperative hemoglobin (Hgb) on postoperative outcome who underwent (CABG). all, 4432 had undergone isolated CABG at Tehran Heart Center over 2-year period from March 2006 February 2008 were studied. All...
Traditionally, the Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery outcomes of patients with low ejection fraction (EF) have been worse compared to moderate good left ventricular function. During past decade, despite improvements in surgical techniques, trend these remained unclear.We sought determine effect dysfunction on early mortality and morbidity specify predictors isolated CABG a large group EF≤35%.We retrospectively analyzed data 14 819 consecutive undergoing from February 2002 March...
Abstract Transfusion after cardiac surgery is very common. This rate varies between institutions and has remained high despite established transfusion guidelines. We analyzed our database of patients who underwent isolated CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) to determine the predictive factors homologous associated postoperative morbidity, mortality resource utilization. All 14,152 first-time CABG, with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) had February 2002 March 2008 in Tehran Heart...
Diagnostic stress echo testing is commonly performed in patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. There has been considerable debate management of exercise induced non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT). In this case report, we present our experience a NSVT, and subsequent angiographically significant left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery lesion.
Objective: Preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) and post-transplant (PTDM) impact outcomes post solid organ transplantation (SOT). Benefits of tirzepatide are well studied in DM but not patients after SOT. This study describes safety efficacy Methods: Retrospective data was collected on 16 SOT with DM/PTDM insulin, oral agents or both initiation for 6 months. [Table 1] Changes from baseline A1C weight (efficacy), eGFR tacrolimus levels (safety) were assessed. Results: From to months, mean...
Insulin remains the mainstay of treatment for inpatient hyperglycemia in United States and Canada. However, some other countries commonly use noninsulin agents such as metformin sulfonylureas, several trials have demonstrated efficacy safety incretin-based patients with type 2 diabetes who are admitted to noncritical care medicine surgery services. There is a high degree interest alternative glucose-lowering strategies achieve favorable glycemic outcomes lower risks hypoglycemia. In this...
Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a well-documented phenomenon. Short episodes of sublethal ischemia provide cardioprotective effects for subsequent longer duration ischemic events. Although the exact mechanism IPC not yet known, chemical basis seems to involve preservation ATP or collateral vascularization recruitment. In this case report, we present visual evidence using Heartscape Technologies 80 Lead ECG device. The described as body surface mapping modality, converting its inputted lead...
BACKGROUND: Outcome studies report widely discrepant results from Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), ranging increased mortality and heightened cardiovascular risk to improved survival cardio-protection. However, wide disparities between in how androgen deficiency was defined, the failure of most account for pre-existing risk, led us hypothesize that those two variables might be implicated contradictory outcome studies.
Abstract Introduction: Endocrinologists at this institution have adhered since 2008 to a policy governing who and when prescribe TRT, akin Endocrine Society guidelines. The policy, which does not apply PCPs, excludes patients with history of VEs (MI/CAD, CVA, VTE, PVD) <1y prior (absolute contraindication [CI] TRT), or 1-3y (relative CI), recommends strict diagnostic criteria, based on ≥2 early AM T levels by LC/MS/MS, Total <200ng/dl, calculated bioavailable <100ng/dl;...
