Improving Systems of Care in Time-Sensitive Emergencies
This report paved the way for modern EMS by recommending the creation of standards for ambulance services, training and oversight in prehospital medicine.1 Legendary physician R Adams Cowley is credited with creating and popularizing the concept of a "golden hour" in trauma, underscoring the need for coordination from the moment trauma occurs to the time to definitive care. Deficiencies in trauma care were recognized and trauma systems of care were developed with EMS playing a central role. As EMS evolved, so did the need to include EMS when developing systems of care for other time-sensitive emergencies. Cardiov...

Protocol for validating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ICD-9-CM codes in healthcare administrative databases: the Umbria Data Value Project
Introduction Administrative healthcare databases can provide a comprehensive assessment of the burden of diseases in terms of major outcomes, such as mortality, hospital readmissions and use of healthcare resources, thus providing answers to a wide spectrum of research questions. However, a crucial issue is the reliability of information gathered. Aim of this protocol is to validate International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision—Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes for major cardiovascular diseases, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. Method...

Achieved blood pressure and cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk patients: results from ONTARGET and TRANSCEND trials
Publication date: Available online 5 April 2017 Source:The Lancet Author(s): Michael Böhm, Helmut Schumacher, Koon K Teo, Eva M Lonn, Felix Mahfoud, Johannes F E Mann, Giuseppe Mancia, Josep Redon, Roland E Schmieder, Karen Sliwa, Michael A Weber, Bryan Williams, Salim Yusuf Background Studies have challenged the appropriateness of accepted blood pressure targets. We hypothesised that different levels of low blood pressure are associated with benefit for some, but harm for other outcomes. Methods In this analysis, we assessed the previously reported outcome data from high-risk patients aged 55 years or older with a histo...

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Grapevine Implements Smartphone Technology To Improve Communications for Emergency Conditions
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine has implemented a new technology called Pulsara to improve the communication technologies and protocols for patients experiencing symptoms of stroke or heart attacks. The Pulsara platform runs as an application on the smartphones of the medics in the field and each member of the care team at the hospital. The app allows paramedics or EMTs in the field who recognize a stroke or STEMI to simply tap a button on their smartphones, which then notifies everyone on the hospital team that an ambulance is on its way with the critical patient. As the paramedic enters more informa...

P-004 30 day results of revascularization of extracranial carotid artery stenosis (recas) trial in mainland china
This study is registered, number NCT01994187. Results The trial enrolled 2762 patients (CAS group, n=1543; CEA group, n=1176; CEA+CAS group, n=43). The primary end point was achieved in 4.47% (69/1543) in patients treated with carotid artery stents, and 4.93% (58/1176) in patients treated with carotid endarterectomy, an absolute difference of 0.46%. Risks of any stroke (3.50% vs 3.32%) was higher in the stenting group than in the endarterectomy group, but the risks of any death (0.39% vs 0.51%) was lower in the stenting group than in the endarterectomy group. Nine procedural myocardial infarctions were recorded in the st...

10 Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy
No one ever had fun visiting the cardiologist. ­Regardless of how good the doc might be, it’s always a little scary thinking about the health of something as fundamental as the heart. But there are ways to take greater control—to ensure that your own heart health is the best it can be—even if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease. Although 50% of cardiovascular-disease risk is genetic, the other 50% can be modified by how you live your life, according to Dr. Eugenia Gianos, director of Women’s Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “This means you can greatly ...

Gender differences in major adverse cardiovascular outcomes among aged over 60 year-old patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A population-based longitudinal study in Taiwan
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) including cerebrovascular disease (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), contributes to the major causes of death in the world. Although several studies have evaluated the association between gender and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in old ASCVD patients, the result is not consistent. Hence, we need a large-scale study to address this issue. This retrospective cohort study included aged over 60 year-old patients with a diagnosis of ASCVD, including CVD, CAD, or PAD, from the database contained in the Taiwan National Health Insuran...

Doctors Are Worried About the Unprecedented Drop in Emergency Room Visits During the COVID-19 Pandemic
In late May, an otherwise relatively healthy New York City woman began having trouble speaking, and she felt weak on the right side of her body. But she could still walk and take care of herself, and with the coronavirus pandemic raging, visiting a hospital seemed too dangerous. The next day, her speech had gotten worse, and she could barely move the right side of her body. Her family called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital, where doctors determined she had suffered a stroke. By the time the woman left the hospital, she was no longer able to walk by herself, and was having difficulty speaking and understanding other...

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices. It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Simultaneous bilateral angioplasty and stenting for carotid stenosis - a single center experience
This study aimed to report the treatment results of bilateral carotid artery stenosis with simultaneous bilateral angioplasty and stenting (sbCAS) in a single institution during the last 10 years. 315 patients underwent carotid stenting in the Scientific-Practical Center of Endovascular Neuroradiology, NAMS of Ukraine during 2010-2020. 39 (12.4%) patients (mean age 57.9±2.1 - 28 men) underwent sbCAS. Primary clinical endpoints (stroke, myocardial infarction, or death) and secondary endpoints (hemodynamic depression (HD) - hypotension (<90 mmHg) or bradycardia (<60 bpm) and hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) were evaluate...
