Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common cause of peripheral compressive neuropathy and consists compression median nerve in wrist. Although there are several etiologies, idiopathic prevalent origin, among forms treatment for CTS, conservative indicated. However, despite high prevalence impact this on healthcare system, still controversies regarding best therapeutic approach patients. Therefore, noting that some studies point to vitamin D deficiency as an independent risk factor,...
ABSTRACT Introduction: The three-dimensional evaluation of patients in the gait laboratory is a diagnostic method that gaining ground various orthopedic pathologies and, case ankle fractures, can more accurately detail degree joint limitation. Objective: To present importance studies postoperative period fractures associated with syndesmosis ligament injuries, increasing arsenal for assessing whether surgical approach and outcome were satisfactory. Methods: Case series 13 who underwent...
Abstract Background Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Multiple scores have been developed validated to predict 30-day mortality risk, however accurate prognostic assessment remains challenge in clinical practice. Purpose To compare the performance of PESI, simplified Hestia Bova predicting in-hospital, 1-year risk for acute PE. Methods We retrospectively assessed consecutive patients from single center registry who were...
Abstract Background Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is commonly found in patients with structural heart disease and was historically obtained from registers of external ambulatory monitoring. The advent remote patient monitoring (RPM) Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has made it possible to detect asymptomatic NSVT Heart Failure (HF) more frequently, but its impact real world uncertain. Purpose To determine the clinical detection RPM ischemic non-ischemic chronic...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) responders should have symptomatic improvement and benefits in long-term outcomes. CRT is indicated the treatment heart failure (HF) patients with systolic dysfunction prolonged QRS duration. There are conflicting results regarding narrowing on response. Objective We ought to access impact after implantation clinical outcomes arrhythmic events. The association between duration...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Heart failure (HF) represents an important burden to the medical system attending its high prevalence and risk hospital admissions by decompensations. Remote monitoring (RM) systems using invasive non-invasive parameters were developed anticipate clinical deterioration in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Objective To characterize a cohort HF CIEDs outermost region. We aimed accessed...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition and an early diagnosis adequate therapy are critical. Mortality in PE still remains very high spite progress diagnostic tools. Several parameters for risk stratification have been reported with variable importance on clinical practice. Purpose To compare the performance different (clinical, analytical imaging parameters) predicting adverse...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a well-established treatment for specific groups heart failure (HF) patients. CRT improves outcomes in ischemic and non-ischemic HF patients, depending on different predictors. Mitral regurgitation (MR) common echocardiographic finding with uncertain reported impact prognosis. Purpose We sought to investigate clinical patient undergoing according MR severity, both etiology....
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Transthoracic echocardiogram performed after the diagnosis acute pulmonary embolism is used for risk stratification. The individual prognostic value echocardiographic parameters and its association with clinical data still being studied. Objective To determine impact (TAPSE, PSAP e TAPSE/PSAP), as well evaluation in patient’s prognosis. Methods Single centre retrospective study, evaluating 131 patients admitted by...
Abstract Background Atypical atrial flutter (AFLA) is a macro-reentrant tachycardia not using the cavotricuspid isthmus. Due to recent innovations in technology, catheter ablation has emerged as most viable option treat AFLA. Data related electrophysiologic characteristics and predictor prognostic factors limited. Purpose Our study aimed analyze long-term outcomes after identify predictors for arrhythmia (AA) recurrence (documented fibrillation (AF), tachycardia, or flutter). Methods We...
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among patients (pts) with heart failure (HF).The impact of AF in the mortality HF reduced ejection fraction (REF) well established.However, there are few studies demonstrating cases preserved (PEF) and mid-range (MEF) Objective: Compare pts REF, MEF or PEF.Methods: Retrospective, single center study that included consecutive admitted to a cardiology department main diagnosis acute decompensation HF. 5 years follow-up was performed.Baseline...
Introduction: Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is indicated to exclude coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low intermediate pretest probability of CAD.After CCT some have indication do an invasive angiography.The aim this study evaluate the who done a after angiography, without revascularization.Methods: Retrospective 2406 consecutive pts referred CCT, at single institution, we demographic, clinical variables and indications.Results: 3pts (1man, 60 ±10 years) did angiography...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition and its therapeutic approach increases the risk important bleeding events which are associated with worse prognosis. Along hemorrhagic events, drop on hemoglobin level not related to or development anemia could have negative impact Both CRUSADE PARIS scores used evaluate stratify major in ACS. However their actual predictive value has been questioned...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious event that usually occur in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and associated great morbidity mortality. PARIS ischemic score TIMI were validated to evaluate STEMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) estimate mortality, respectively. Despite these specific purposes, the usefulness scores predicting adverse events (ACE)...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has high levels morbidity and mortality. Multiple risk factors may contribute to clinical outcomes some studies demonstrate gender-related differences in baseline characteristics in-hospital management. Purpose To access the difference prognostic between men women who were admitted our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit with STEMI diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively...
Abstract Background There is few data about programmed lower rate limit (LRL) in real world heart failure (HF) patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy–defibrillators (CRT-Ds) and its influence clinical outcomes. Heart score (HRS) the percentage of all atrial-paced sensed events single tallest 10 beats/min device histogram bin may indicate impaired variability. Purpose We hypothesized that higher LRL programming associated worse outcomes as arrhythmic HF decompensations chronic...
