Clinical Features and Outcome of Infective Endocarditis in a University Hospital in Romania
Conclusions: Staphylococcus aureus IE was associated with the presence of large vegetations, prosthetic valve endocarditis and intracardiac abscess. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) infection was associated with prosthetic valve dysfunction. Streptococcus gallolyticus etiology correlated with ischemic embolic stroke and the presence of large vegetations. Cardiovascular surgery was recommended in 67.4% of patients but was performed only on half of them. In hospital death occurred in 33.7% of patients and independent predictors of mortality were congestive heart failure and septic shock.PMID:33578787 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57020158

Disability-free survival after major cardiac surgery: a population-based retrospective cohort study
CMAJ Open. 2021 Apr 16;9(2):E384-E393. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20200096. Print 2021 Apr-Jun.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Cardiovascular research has traditionally been dedicated to "tombstone" outcomes, with little attention dedicated to the patient's perspective. We evaluated disability-free survival as a patient-defined outcome after cardiac surgery.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 40 years and older who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or single or multiple valve (aortic, mitral, tricuspid) surgery in Ontario between Oct. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2016. The primary outcome was disability...

Long-term cardiac remodeling associated with heart failure following left-ventricular valve replacement surgery: A retrospective study
To investigate long-term cardiac remodeling and prognosis of patients post-left-ventricular valve replacement, and explored related risk factors of heart failure and management strategies. Retrospective cohort of patients with left-ventricular valve replacement between 2005 and 2007. Major adverse cardiac events were recorded, including death, hospitalization, stroke, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classifications. Cardiac remodeling was assessed by comparing pre-operative, post-operative, and follow-up echocardiographic images. (1)Two hundred fifty-seven patients who received left-ventricular mitra...

Early Discharge After Minimally Invasive Aortic and Mitral Valve Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In well-selected patients, early discharge after minimally invasive valve surgery was associated with lower costs but comparable postoperative outcomes. About one fifth of patients who remain in the hospital beyond postoperative day 3 may be candidates for earlier discharge.PMID:34419437 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.07.047

Rest and exercise oxygen uptake and cardiac output changes 6  months after successful transcatheter mitral valve repair
ConclusionsThese data confirm pMVR-induced clinical improvement and reverse ventricular remodelling at a 6-month analysis and show, in spite of an increase in CO, an unchanged exercise performance, which is achieved through a ‘more physiological’ blood flow distribution and O2 extraction behaviour. Direct rest and exercise CO should be measured to assess pMVR efficacy.

Predictors of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Prospective Cohort Study
ConclusionThere are a wide range of significant epidemiological, clinical, and operative predictors for the development of post-CABG AF including older age, female gender, large LA diameter, higher CHA2DS2-VASc score, valve replacement and postoperative inotropic support. Nevertheless, further large-scale studies are still needed to confirm our findings.

The Prognostic Utility of Invasive Right Heart Catheterization in Patients Prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: Preprocedural invasive RHC provides useful prognostic information. A comprehensive invasive hemodynamic assessment should be considered for risk stratification in patients undergoing TAVR.PMID:34866047
