Impella assist devices have been increasingly used in cardiogenic shock (CS). This study aims to assess the incidence of hemolysis when support is longer than 6 hours CS. We retrospectively studied all patients who required between April 2009 and September 2013. Demographic data indicators were sampled analyzed using paired t-test. A total 118 placed 40 hours. The average time was 86.63 hours, 30 90 days survival 65% 60%, respectively. After 24 support, hemoglobin (Hb) decreased...
Monitoring supine pulmonary artery pressures to guide heart failure (HF) management has reduced HF hospitalizations in select patients. The purpose of this study was evaluate the effect managing seated mean pressure (mPAP) with Cordella Pulmonary Artery sensor on outcomes patients HF. Following GUIDE-HF (Hemodynamic-GUIDEd Management Heart Failure Trial), U.S. Food and Drug Administration input, PROACTIVE-HF (A Prospective, Multi-Center, Open Label, Single Arm Clinical Trial Evaluating...
Among patients undergoing heart transplantation, Aspergillus is the opportunistic pathogen with highest attributable mortality. The median time of onset from transplantation for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) was 46 days, but to first positive culture result 104 days among colonization no disease. Most IPA presented fever and cough within 90 single or multiple nodules. None transplant recipients either extrapulmonary (IEPA) had associated neutropenia. Human leukocyte antigen A1 locus...
In peripartum cardiomyopathy, the prevalence of focal myocardial damage detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance is important to elucidate mechanisms injury and cardiac dysfunction. LGE equates irreversible injury, but in cardiomyopathy uncertain.Among 100 women enrolled within Investigations Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy cohort, we recruited 40 at 13 centers undergo resonance, first weeks postpartum. Follow-up scans occurred 6 months postpartum,...
Myocarditis may result in cardiogenic shock, and when medical therapy is unable to maintain adequate cardiac output, mechanical circulatory support indicated. This the first reported case of a percutaneous left ventricular assist device being used combination with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patient biventricular respiratory failure, as bridge recovery.
Background: Data on heart failure (HF) epidemiology in less developed areas of Brazil are scarce. Objective: Our aim was to determine the HF morbidity and mortality Paraiba its 10-year trends. Methods: A retrospective search conducted from 2008 2017 using DATASUS database included patients ≥ 15 years old with a primary diagnosis HF. in-hospital population were collected stratified by year, gender age. Pearson correlation linear-by-linear association test for trends calculated, level...
COVID-19 has affected many hospitalizations. In this study, we intended to understand the effects of pandemic on heart failure hospitalizations in state California. This study was a retrospective analysis California State Inpatient Database during March December 2019 and 2020. Adult with were included for analysis. Main outcome variables in-hospital mortality, mechanical ventilation, circulatory support, vasopressor use, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There 450,771 (53.7%) 2019,...
BACKGROUND: Whether prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption contributes to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed describe the prevalence of use in patients with DCM their first-degree relatives (FDRs) determine if cumulative exposure associates DCM/partial or modifies association DCM-relevant rare variants. METHODS: All probands had DCM; FDRs were classified as without partial DCM. Alcohol was measured Use Disorder Identification Test-Consumption questionnaire...
