BACKGROUND: The appropriate use criteria for revascularization of stable ischemic heart disease have not been evaluated using randomized data. Using data from the ISCHEMIA trial (International Study Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches; July 2012 to January 2018, 37 countries), health status benefits an invasive strategy over a conservative one were examined within scenarios. METHODS: Among 1833 participants mapped 36 scenarios, symptom was assessed Seattle...
Women with chronic coronary disease are generally older than men and have more comorbidities but less atherosclerosis. We explored sex differences in revascularization, guideline-directed medical therapy, outcomes among patients ischemia on stress testing, without invasive management.
Background: Assessment of right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) by two‐dimensional echocardiography (2D ECHO) is practical but limited because complex geometry the RV. Techniques used for accurate measurement RV EF are invasive or costly. However, derivation 2D ECHO Doppler parameters to estimate function could be useful and inexpensive. Methods: measured nuclear ventriculography was compared with estimates myocardial performance index (MPI) peak tricuspid annular systolic velocity...
Anakinra, a recombinant interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is effective in treatment of idiopathic recurrent pericarditis. However, its efficacy non-idiopathic pericarditis (secondary to diagnosed inflammatory condition, or other known etiology) unclear. We evaluated the anakinra patients with and pericarditis, who were intolerant refractory conventional therapy (colchicine corticosteroids).This was single-center study which we performed retrospective chart review consecutive adult...
We present a case of 69-year-old woman presenting with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia caused by QT prolongation. Owing to known intolerances majority antiarrhythmic medications, one remaining option was initiate phenytoin. Phenytoin's narrow therapeutic window, multiple drug interactions and side effect profile make it an infrequently used antiarrhythmic. It is, however, potent agent, which may be useful in treatment tachycardia, especially patients intolerances.
The effects of coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, and comorbidities on outcomes elective percutaneous intervention (PCI) in high-risk patients with left main (LM) and/or multivessel artery disease (CAD) are not well studied, as these typically underrepresented the clinical trials.This cohort study involved 33,568 consecutive PCI cases, excluding prior bypass graft, acute syndrome within 24 hr index PCI, or shock. All data were obtained from New York State's Reporting System calendar year...
Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been associated with decreased post-kidney transplant survival and increased rate of long-term cardiovascular complications. Despite a high prevalence PH in patients end-stage renal disease, data on post-transplant allograft recipients pre-existing mild-to-moderate are limited.The single-center retrospective study cohort consisted 192 consecutive (2008-2015) documented pretransplantation transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) artery systolic pressure...
