GDF ‐15 at admission predicts cardiovascular death, heart failure, and bleeding outcomes in patients with CAD
ConclusionsIn patients with CAD, admission levels of GDF-15 were associated with an increased 1  year risk of CV death, HF, and bleeding outcomes, but not with thrombotic events. GDF-15 may be a prognostic biomarker for CV death, HF, and bleeding outcomes and could be used to refine the risk assessment of these specific clinical outcomes.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04044066

Acute stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in acute coronary syndrome: Predictors and outcomes
CONCLUSION: Based on our findings, acute stroke after bypass surgery in patients with ACS is associated with increased mortality and adverse outcomes. Cardiogenic shock, peripheral vascular disease and previous stroke were independent predictors of stroke after CABG procedure. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of potential risk factors may be crucial to improve postoperative results.PMID:37504576 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231193636

Outcomes of isolated CABG from “OPCAB favor institution” for patients with left ventricular dysfunction
ConclusionIn our institute, ONCAB was selected for the patients who could not complete treatment with OPCAB due to poor preoperative circulatory status. Our treatment policy for the patients with impaired cardiac function was acceptable.

Prophylactic LVAD for high ‐risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery
ConclusionsProphylactic LVAD is a viable technique in select cardiac surgery patients who are high-risk for postcardiotomy shock. Further prospective study is warranted.

Temporal Trends in Outcomes of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients With Heart Failure and Diabetes
ConclusionWhile hospitalizations for STEMI in patients with diabetes and HFpEF followed an upward trend, we observed a temporal decrease in those with HFrEF. Mortality was unchanged in both HF groups despite the temporal increase in risk factors. Nevertheless, HFpEF patients had lower in-hospital mortality and cardiovascular events, except for AF.

Clinical Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction Hospitalizations with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: An Analysis of Nationwide Readmissions Database
CONCLUSION: Patients with AMI and SLE had higher inpatient mortality during the index hospitalization and higher 30-day hospital readmissions compared to AMI patients without SLE. There were no significant differences in most of the other major inpatient outcomes between the two cohorts.PMID:34936910 | DOI:10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2021.101086

Blood lactate predicts survival after percutaneous implantation of extracorporeal life support for refractory cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock complicating acute coronary syndrome: insights from the CareGem registry
AbstractRefractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) or refractory cardiac arrest (RCA) complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with extremely high mortality rate. Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) represents a valuable therapeutic option to stabilize patients ’ condition before or at the time of emergency revascularization. We analyzed 29 consecutive patients with RCS or RCA complicating ACS, and implanted with VA-ECLS in two centers who have adopted a similar, structured approach to ECLS implantation. Data were collected from January 2010 to December 2015 and ECLS had to be percutaneously impla...

Mitral Valve Surgery for Papillary Muscle Rupture: Outcomes in 1,342 Patients from the STS Database.
CONCLUSIONS: These data provide a national overview of outcomes following MVS for PMR. Rates of mortality and morbidity are high but the majority of patients survive operative intervention in this high-risk and otherwise lethal condition. PMID: 32376352 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical outcomes and need for intensive care after non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: Complications requiring ICU care were infrequent in a cohort of NSTEMI patients who were routinely admitted to the ICU over a 4-year period. The ACTION risk score had low accuracy in the prediction of complications requiring ICU care in our population. PMID: 32089424 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Optimal timing of coronary artery bypass grafting in hemodynamically stable patients after myocardial infarction and definition of poor prognostic factors
ConclusionOptimal timing for surgical revascularization of MI seems to be between 3 and 10 days in stable patients. But, timing is not the only influencing factors in death rate, patient's health condition and disease severity must be considered in the individual management strategy.

Long-term survival in patients presenting with STEMI complicated by out of hospital cardiac arrest
ConclusionsPatients with STEMI complicated by OHCA remain a high-risk group associated with high in hospital mortality. Beyond 30 days the occurrence of cardiac arrest was a significant predictor of all-cause and cardiac mortality.
