To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic migitation measures on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care.We previously reported a 38% decline in cardiac catheterization activations during early phase mitigation measures. This study extends our observations using larger sample STEMI programs representative different US regions with inclusion more contemporary data.Data from 18 hospitals or healthcare systems January 2019 to April 2020 were collecting including number for STEMI,...
Background: Despite treatment guidance endorsing shortened dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients after drug-eluting stents, limited evidence exists to support these recommendations. The present study was designed examine the safety and effectiveness of 1-month DAPT following percutaneous coronary intervention with zotarolimus-eluting stents HBR patients. Methods: Onyx ONE Clear a prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized evaluating followed by single...
Axillary artery access has become increasingly widespread as an alternative to the femoral route for large-bore transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), endovascular repair (EVAR), and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) procedures. Advantages of percutaneous include avoidance a surgical incision, general anesthesia, conduit graft infection. This statement aims review anatomic considerations risks axillary access, suggest best practices techniques, hemostasis/closure strategies,...
Background Guidelines promote shared decision-making (SDM) for anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation. We recently showed that adding a within-encounter SDM tool to usual care (UC) increases patient involvement and clinician satisfaction, without affecting encounter length. aimed estimate the extent which use of an changed adherence decided plan clinical safety end points. Methods Results conducted multicenter, encounter-level, randomized trial assessing efficacy UC versus...
Early detection of intracranial hematoma (ICH) expansion is critical to improving outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The Infrascanner 2000 (InfraScan Inc) a US Food and Drug Administration-cleared device capable detecting ICHs. We report our preliminary experience conducting prospective evaluation serial infrascans evaluate the diagnostic performance for monitoring changes ICH size. A single-center observational study was conducted. included ICHs detected on admission...
<h3>Importance</h3> How patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and their clinicians consider cost in forming care plans remains unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify factors that inform conversations regarding costs of anticoagulants for treatment AF between outcomes associated these conversations. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study recorded encounters participant surveys at 5 US medical centers (including academic, community, safety-net centers) from the SDM4AFib...
Abstract Background Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute cardiac condition with presentation indistinguishable from coronary (ACS), and mechanism independent of epicardial obstruction. Acute artery plaque rupture/occlusion not expected in TS. Nonetheless, the physiologic stress ACS might itself trigger TS, leading to coexistence both conditions, diagnostic uncertainty. Methods From 2011 2014, we encountered 137 consecutive patients typical TS (without rupture/occlusion). During this time,...
Background Contemporary real‐world data on stroke in patients presenting with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are scarce. Methods and Results We evaluated the incidence, trends, cause, predictors of from 2003 to 2019 4 large regional STEMI programs upper Midwest that use similar transfer treatment protocols. also long‐term impact 5‐year mortality. Multivariate logistic Cox regression analysis was used identify variables independently associated A total 12 868 presented...
The mammalian feeding system is made up of multiple components that influence facial variation, including the masticatory muscles, bony jaw apparatus, and teeth. However, it not fully understood how development these are coordinated impacted by life history diet. Bats only mammals continue to nurse until they almost adult size, often after become volant. Common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) have a relatively prolonged juvenile period among bats, can nine months, later solely subsist off...
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at a higher risk of ischemic events compared patients without DM. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) the Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) followed by 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is safe and effective in high bleeding risk. However, outcomes DM not fully understood.
