This study aimed to identify which streptococcal species are closely associated with infective endocarditis (IE) and evaluate risk factors for mortality in patients IE. We performed a retrospective cohort of all bloodstream infection (BSI) from January 2010 June 2020 tertiary hospital South Korea. compared clinical microbiological characteristics BSIs according the diagnosis multivariate analysis IE A total 2,737 were identified during period, 174 (6.4%) diagnosed The highest prevalence was...
Introduction There have been few studies on predictors of weaning failure from MV in patients with heart (HF). We sought to investigate the predictive value B-lines measured by lung ultrasound (LUS) risk mechanical ventilation (MV) and in-hospital outcomes. Methods This was a single-center, prospective observational study that included HF who were invasive MV. LUS performed immediate before ventilator weaning. A positive exam defined as observation two or more regions had three count located...
Background Considering that most patients with low or no significant risk factors can safely undergo noncardiac surgery without additional cardiac evaluation, and given the excessive evaluations often performed in undergoing intermediate higher surgeries, practical preoperative assessment tools are essential to reduce unnecessary delays for urgent outpatient services manage medical costs more efficiently. Objective This study aimed use Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data...
Abstract Background and Aims Heart failure (HF) remains a significant clinical challenge due to its diverse aetiologies complex pathophysiology. The molecular alterations specific distinct cell types histological patterns during HF progression are still poorly characterized. This study aimed explore cell-type- histology-specific gene expression profiles in cardiomyopathies. Methods Ninety tissue cores from 44 participants, encompassing various forms of cardiomyopathy control samples with...
The predictive role of the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) for clinical outcomes after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock is not well known. This study investigated value VIS on in-hospital and determination optimal timing initiation VA-ECMO.
Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after cardiac surgery, but little known about its incidence and natural course noncardiac surgery. We evaluated the clinical impact of POAF long-term anticoagulation therapy in patients without a history (AF) undergoing Methods Results retrospectively analyzed database Asan Medical Center (Seoul, Korea) to identify who developed new-onset surgery between January 2006 2016. The main outcomes were AF recurrence, thromboembolic...
Background Several trials reported differential outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents (DES) and coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) for multivessel disease according to the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM). However, it is not well recognized how DM status affects very-long-term (10-year) DES CABG left main artery disease. Methods Results In PRECOMBAT (Premier Randomized Comparison Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in...
Mixed cardiogenic-septic shock (MS), defined as the combination of cardiogenic (CS) and septic (SS) shock, is often encountered in cardiac intensive care units. Herein, authors compared impact venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) MS, CS, SS. Of 1,023 patients who received VA-ECMO from January 2012 to February 2020 at a single center, 211 with pulmonary embolism, hypovolemic aortic dissection, unknown causes were excluded. The remaining 812 grouped based on cause...
Background: Pleural effusions commonly occur in patients recovering from cardiac surgery; however, the impact on outcomes is not well characterized.The purpose of this study to characterize clinical surgery with pleural effusion. Methods:All undergoing between 2006 and 2019 at a tertiary care university hospital were included observational, cross-sectional analysis using propensity matching.Results: Of 11,037 that underwent during period, 6461 (58.5%) had no effusion (Group 0), 3322 (30.1%)...
The Korean Organ Transplant Registry (KOTRY) provided data for this third official report on adult heart transplantation (HT), including information from 709 recipients.
Data are limited on the clinical manifestations and outcomes of acute myocarditis from a large-scale registry. We investigated myocarditis's characteristics prognosis large-scale, multi-center registry in Republic Korea. collected data seven hospitals between 2001 2021. Clinical variables during index hospitalization follow-up periods were analyzed. also evaluated inter-center temporal differences diagnostic treatment patterns. Eight hundred forty-one patients diagnosed with included. Common...
