Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhages During Impella Cardiac Support
Impella is a percutaneously placed, ventricular assist device for short-term cardiac support. We aimed to study acute neurologic complications during short-term cardiac support with Impella. We reviewed prospectively collected data of 79 consecutive persons implanted with Impella at a single tertiary center. Acute neurologic events (ANE) were defined as ischemic strokes or intracranial hemorrhages. Among those with ANE, specific causes of ischemic and hemorrhagic events were collected and discussed. Of 79 persons with Impella with median 8 days of support (range 1–33 days), six (7.5%) developed ANE at a median of 5 days ...

The previous use of digoxin does not worsen early outcome of acute coronary syndromes: an analysis of the ARIAM Registry
Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the previous use of digoxin on the hospital mortality and complications of patients admitted because of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We analyzed the data of patients included in the ARIAM-Andalucia Registry, which involves 49 hospitals in Andalucia, Spain, from 2007 to 2012. Patients on digoxin treatment prior to their admission because of ACS constituted the digoxin group (DG), and were compared with the group of patients not on digoxin. Logistic regression and propensity score matching were used to analyze the differences. We included 20,331 ...

The prognostic impact of in-hospital worsening of renal function in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Abstract: Background: Renal impairment is strongly linked to adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Baseline renal dysfunction is a strong predictor of CV mortality and morbidity in patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the prognostic importance of worsening renal function (WRF) in these patients is not well characterized.Methods: ACS patients enrolled in the SPACE (Saudi Project for Assessment of Coronary Events) registry who had baseline and pre-discharge serum creatinine data available were eligible for this study. WRF was defined as a 25% reduction from admission estimated glomerular filtration ra...

Outcome of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Following Recent Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI within 7 days after a surgical procedure. We assessed outcomes of 517 patients who underwent PCI within 7 days after a surgery across 44 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2011 from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium registry. Patients with postoperative PCI were compared with all other patients with PCI using propensity-matched analysis. Of the 65,175 patients who underwent PCI within the study period, 517 patients had undergone surgery within the previous 7 days. In unadjusted analysis, patients...

Yes, We Can! (Should We?).
Abstract Historically, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was relegated to hospitals with co-located cardiac surgery because of the potential need for emergent surgical treatment of PCI-related complications. In the current issue of Circulation, Lee and colleagues(1) compare outcomes of PCI at hospitals with and without on-site cardiac surgery and show that emergency cardiac surgery is, in fact, rarely needed (<1%). This meta-analysis summarizes 23 studies that include over one million patients and demonstrates the incidence of other PCI-related complications including myocardial infarction, stroke, cardi...

Safety and efficacy of glucose-insulin-potassium treatment in coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate protective effects of glucose–insulin–potassium (GIK) on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We systematically searched Medline/Pubmed, Elsevier, Embase, Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. A total of 1206 studies were retrieved during the extensive literature search of all major databases; however, 38 trials reporting the end-point of interest were selected. We performed a pooled analysis of outcomes following PCI: incidence of cardiac arrest [odds ratio (OR) of 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI): ...

Factors Associated With Initial Prasugrel Versus Clopidogrel Selection for Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the Treatment With ADP Receptor Inhibitors: Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment Patterns and Events After Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRANSLATE-ACS) Study Coronary Heart Disease
We examined patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention at 233 US hospitals in the TRANSLATE‐ACS observational study from April 2010 to October 2012. We developed a multivariable logistic regression model to identify factors associated with prasugrel selection. Prasugrel use rates and associated 1‐year risk‐adjusted major adverse cardiovascular events and Global Utilization of Streptokinase and t‐PA for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) moderate/severe bleeding outcomes were also examined in relation to predicted mortality and bleeding using the validated Ac...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in critically ill neonates and children.
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used as a last resort during neonatal and pediatric resuscitation in case of refractory circulatory or respiratory failure under maximum conventional therapies. Different types of ECMO can be used depending on the initial failure. The main indications for ECMO are refractory respiratory failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome, status asthmaticus, severe pneumonia, meconium aspiration syndrome, pulmonary hypertension) and refractory circulatory failure (cardiogenic shock, septic shock, refractory cardiac arrest). The main contraindications are a gestational age u...

The Medical Emergency Of Otto Warmbier
All that the doctors who treated Cincinnati, Ohio resident Otto Warmbier knew is what they had seen or maybe read in the news. They knew he had just been released on June 13 from imprisonment in North Korea where he had been held by for more than 17 months. He had been sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from a wall at a Pyongyang hotel where he had been staying. The University of Virginia honors student had been visiting the authoritarian state during a five-day trip with a group called Young Pioneer Tours, which is a group out of China – an important note. Ot...

Off-pump versus On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Frail Patients: Study Protocol for the FRAGILE Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, the authors introduce the new national, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial "FRAGILE", to be developed in the main cardiac surgery centers of Brazil, to clarify the potential benefit of off-pump CABG in frail patients. Methods: FRAGILE is a two-arm, parallel-group, multicentre, individually randomized (1:1) controlled trial which will enroll 630 patients with blinded outcome assessment (at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years), which aims to compare adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after off-pump versus on-pump CABG in pre-frail and frail patients. Primary outcomes will be all-cause...

Obesity Paradox in TAVR: Nationwide Study from 2011-14 Comparing Outcomes of Patients with versus without Obesity Undergoing TAVR
Obesity is associated with several cardiovascular diseases including aortic valve stenosis. Studies have demonstrated a beneficial effect of obesity on patients with cardiovascular disease, deemed the “obesity paradox.” This paradox is also present in obese patients undergoing total aortic valve replacement (TAVR) when examining both short and long-term mortality rates, although the data is conflicting. We aim to investigate the effects of obesity on mortality, length of hospital stay, and ra tes of stroke and cardiogenic shock in patients undergoing TAVR.

Integrating the STOP-BANG score and clinical data to predict cardiovascular events after infarction: A machine learning study.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) conveys worse clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease patients. The STOP-BANG score is a simple tool that evaluates the risk of OSA and can be added to the large number of clinical variables and scores obtained during the management of myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Currently, machine learning (ML) is able to select and integrate numerous variables to optimize prediction tasks. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can the integration of STOP-BANG score with clinical data and scores through ML better identify patients who suffered an in-hospital cardiovascular event ...
