Oct 5th, 2022 - Acute myocarditis is one of the common complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a relatively high case fatality. Here reported is a fulminant case of a 42-year-old previously healthy woman with cardiogenic shock and refractory car...

Oct 4th, 2022 - If surgical revascularization is not feasible, high-risk PCI is a viable option for patients with complex coronary artery disease. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides hemodynamic support in patients with a high risk...

Oct 4th, 2022 - Acute decompensated refractory cardiogenic shock is an emergency in which the prompt instauration of mechanical circulatory support improves outcomes. The typical, initial approach for device delivery is via femoral vessels due to easy access and ...

Oct 4th, 2022 - Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality risk. The risk for adverse outcomes in patients with PAH in sepsis or septic shock (SSS) is uncertain. Adult patients diagnosed with SSS were identified in ...

Oct 3rd, 2022 - Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has increasingly been utilized in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) related aortic stenosis (AS) with insufficient large-scale data on its safety. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Nationwid...

Sep 27th, 2022 - The PACCS trial is a multicenter, randomized, parallel group, adaptive trial that will test the hypothesis that early invasive hemodynamic assessment (within 6 hours of randomization) and ongoing management with a PAC decreases in-hospital mortali...

Sep 26th, 2022 - Persistent microperfusion alterations after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) are associated with poor survival. To our knowledge, no human studies evaluating microperfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with simple and pre-hos...

Sep 26th, 2022 - The hypothesis for ATTRACTIVE trial is that the intrathrombus thrombolysis with microcatheter or pierced balloon compared to manual aspiration thrombectomy will reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs), including cardiova...

Sep 22nd, 2022 - All patients presenting to the Clinical Cardiology department, Ain Shams University Hospitals, will be assessed for eligibility as follow: Inclusion criteria: Female or male aged >18 and < 75 years Diabetic post myocardial infarction patients Firs...

Sep 21st, 2022 - Background: Sepsis is one of the most common reasons for admission to intensive care units (ICU) worldwide. About 30% of all patients admitted to intensive care suffer from sepsis (1). Sepsis causes an extreme physiological stress response, with s...

Sep 23rd, 2022 - Bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) was associated with a doubling of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV TAVR), new registry data show. The study also suggests that BVF performed ...

Sep 17th, 2022 - In patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and cardiogenic shock, successful transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is associated with a substantial reduction in all-cause mortality and lower morbidity at 1 year, according to an analysis ...

Jul 26th, 2022 - Another observational study has questioned whether Impella ventricular assist pumps (Abiomed) should be used in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS), at least compared with an intra-aortic balloon pu...

Jul 13th, 2022 - This transcript has been edited for clarity. Matthew F. Watto, MD: Welcome back to The Curbsiders. I'm Dr Matthew Watto, here with my great friend, Dr Paul Nelson Williams. Paul, how are you doing today? Paul N. Williams, MD: I'm great. We're talk...

May 26th, 2022 - Takotsubo syndrome occurs much more frequently in women than it does in men, but men are much more likely to die from it, according to the results of a new study. In an analysis of almost 2,500 patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TSS) who were enrol...
