Article Synopsis
- This study focused on acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in the Gulf region, addressing a lack of data by analyzing 1,513 patients from 2020 to 2022.
- The incidence of AMI-CS was found to be 4.1%, with a high in-hospital mortality rate of 45.5%, and patients primarily presented with ST-elevation MI.
- Key risk factors for increased hospital mortality included previous coronary artery bypass grafts, chronic kidney disease, and SCAI shock stages D and E, with a 12-month survival rate of 51.49%.*
Background: Patients with heart failure could have a high prevalence of depression which may increase the risk of hospitalization. So this study is to estimate the prevalence of depression among patients attending heart failure clinics, and determine whether depression increases the risk of hospitalization in patients with heart failure.
Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, we interviewed patients with heart failure and identified those with depression; the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to estimate the prevalence of depression and assess clinical outcomes, including the risk of hospitalization.
Article Synopsis
- * A cross-sectional study involving 323 participants found that factors such as alcohol use, lack of exercise, and low adherence to medication were significantly associated with an increased risk of LVH.
- * The research emphasizes the importance of improving hypertension management and encouraging lifestyle changes to reduce the prevalence of LVH in affected individuals.
Introduction: Limited data on atrial fibrillation (AF) are available from the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA). The aim of the FLOW-AF registry was to evaluate the characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical and economic outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in MENA.
Methods: This multi-center, prospective, observational study (the FLOW-AF registry) enrolled patients newly diagnosed with NVAF across Egypt, Lebanon, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates.
