Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction during and after hospitalization for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with increased mortality. Whether baseline LV impacts STEMI outcomes not well studied. Furthermore, whether bivalirudin paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) are beneficial in patients unknown. We studied the impact of left ejection fraction (LVEF) on HORIZONS-AMI trial. LVEF was determined 2648 (73.5%) 3602 enrolled patients, who were divided into three groups...
Introduction Current guidelines recommend continuation of dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) for 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recent studies have shown benefit in continuing DAPT beyond but at the risk increase bleeding. To date, there has been little data on stratifying patients to determine who can continue minimal bleeding risk. Methods: All underwent drug-eluting stent (DES) placement from January 1, 2013 September 30, 2014 were reviewed. Patients had...
Advances in surgical techniques tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients have improved survival these into adulthood. The procedure requires right ventricular outflow tract or trans‐annular patch with resultant pulmonary stenosis and/or regurgitation. As such, adult seen this condition may increasing hypertrophy dilation. Recently, the Sapien XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences, CA) was approved by FDA for implantation. In some cases, advancing is difficult. This a case series delivering valves TOF...
Thebesian veins are microvascular connections from the coronary arterial supply directly into heart chambers. While they play an important role in providing nourishment to myocardium by maintaining adequate perfusion, also responsible for a physiologic right left shunt body’s circulation. We present case report of this rare anatomic finding extensive causing acute syndrome and Takostubo cardiomyopathy.
Key Teaching Points•Atrioventricular dyssynchrony as an etiology of decreased exercise tolerance should be considered in patients with a prolonged PR interval.•His bundle pacing pseudo-pacemaker syndrome, it restores atrioventricular synchrony while maintaining interventricular synchrony.•If supravalvular His capture thresholds are high, then one consider placing the lead subvalvularly. •Atrioventricular
A 27-year-old-woman with a history of repaired double-outlet right ventricle (RV), rare condition associated complex and cyanotic cardiac malformations, presented chest pain. The patient also had sub-pulmonic stenosis spontaneous closure conduit from the RV to main pulmonary artery (PA). Since native outflow …
Objective: Long-term diabetes can lead to complications including diabetic macro- and microangiopathy. Capillaroscopy is a non-invasive method evaluate capillary microvasculature which be used demonstrate changes in microarchitecture noted The objective of this study was cutaneous manifestations mellitus (DM), nailfold capillaroscopic due microangiopathy, as well determine association between capillaroscopy (NFC) DM. Materials Methods: Two hundred cases suffering from type 2 DM having were...
Introduction: MitraClip, an efficacious strategy for patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation, can be complicated by acute circulatory collapse in rare instances. Data on the use of mechanical support (MCS) these is scarce. Methods: Using Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database from 2016 to 2018, we identified who underwent MitraClip insertion required MCS using ICD-10 codes. The devices included intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (group 1), Impella 2), extracorporeal membrane...
