Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters. [time-...

Hemodynamic parameters at rest predicting exercise capacity in patients supported with left ventricular assist device
AbstractLeft ventricular assist devices improve prognosis and quality of life, but exercise capacity remains limited in most patients after device implantation. Left ventricular assist device optimization through right heart catheterization reduces device-related complications. However, hemodynamic parameters associated with exercise capacity under optimized conditions. The aim of this study was to elucidate the predictors of exercise capacity from hemodynamic parameters at rest after left ventricular assist device optimization. We retrospectively reviewed 24 patients who underwent a ramp test with right heart catheterizat...

Predictive Value of CHA2DS2-VASc Score in Patients with Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction
CONCLUSION: Our current study showed that the CHA2DS2-VASc risk score has an effective discriminating power in determining the contrast-induced nephropathy development and a score ≥2 defines the group at risk in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Moreover, contrast-induced nephropathy development is associated with longer coronary care unit stay and major adverse cardiac events (in-hospital decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and mortality).PMID:36916809 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2022.46994
