General Cardiology
Investigators examined how genetic factors associated with cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases may have an effect on reported comorbid conditions.
Heart Failure
The risk of sudden cardiac death was present across all strata of left ventricular ejection fraction and was related to the use of cocaine, lower use of beta-blockers, lower CD4, and nonsuppressed viral load.
Interventional
Further studies are needed to understand the effect of smoking cessation on outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Heart Failure
The effects of hybrid comprehensive telerehabilitation compared with usual care were analyzed in a cohort of patients with HFrEF.
General Cardiology
Researchers evaluated inpatient discharge data from the AHRQ Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample to assess outcomes associated with acute idiopathic pericarditis.
Metabolic
Significant improvements to the management of metabolic syndrome after liver transplantation must be made to reduce the risk for CV events and mortality.
Atrial Fibrillation
Early mortality after atrial fibrillation ablation may be predicted by the occurrence of heart failure, procedural complications, as well as low hospital AF ablation.
General Cardiology
US and European guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope are similar.
General Cardiology
Investigators sought to identify risk factors and develop a predictive risk score for new pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Metabolic
Glucose-lowering medications and high-intensity statins are not being used sufficiently among high-risk individuals with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
