  • Cardiac tamponade (CT) has a unique presentation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and this study aimed to assess the outcomes of CT in patients with or without PH using a large inpatient database from 2016 to 2020.
  • Out of 110,285 patients with CT, those with PH were generally older, more likely to be female, and had a higher incidence of coexisting conditions like hypertension and chronic heart failure.
  • The study found that PH is linked to higher in-hospital mortality and complications, with patients with PH less likely to receive beneficial treatments like pericardiocentesis, despite it being associated with lower mortality rates.

In this paper, we introduce an efficient method that incorporates redescending M-estimators within the framework of Wiener estimation. The proposed approach effectively suppresses impulsive, additive, and multiplicative noise across varied densities.
