Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis were excluded from clinical trials of direct oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation (AF). Recent data have raised concerns regarding the safety dabigatran and rivaroxaban, but apixaban has not been evaluated despite current labeling supporting its use in this population. The goal study was to determine patterns associated outcomes dialysis-dependent patients ESKD AF. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort...
Background Right ventricular ( RV ) strain is a potentially useful prognostic marker in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH ). However, published reports regarding the accuracy of two‐dimensional echocardiography (2 DE )‐derived against an independent reference this patient population are limited. The aims study were: (1) to relationship between 2 longitudinal and cardiovascular magnetic resonance CMR ejection fraction RVEF ; (2) compare ‐derived these patients; (3) determine...
Placebo-controlled trials for pulmonary arterial hypertension are no longer acceptable because new therapies must show clinically significant effects on top of standard treatment. The purpose this study was to estimate sample sizes and imaging costs the planning a hypothetical drug trial using detect changes in right ventricular size function response combined therapy.Same-day cardiovascular MR (CMR) 2-dimensional (2D) 3D transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE 3DTTE) were performed 22...
Adenosine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately quantify myocardial perfusion reserve. While regadenoson is increasingly employed due to ease of use, imaging protocols have not been standardized. We sought determine the optimal CMR protocol for quantifying reserve index (MPRi) – more specifically, whether stress should be performed before or after rest imaging. Twenty healthy subjects underwent during resting conditions, regadenoson-induced hyperemia (0.4 mg), and 15 min...
