Aims: Currently, there is limited data on prognostic indicators after insertion of percutaneous ventricular assist device (PVAD) in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). This study evaluated the prognostic role of cardiac power output (CPO) ratio, defined as CPO at 24 h divided by early CPO (30 min to 2 h), in CS patients after PVAD.

Methods And Results: Consecutive CS patients from the QEH-PVAD Registry were followed up for survival at 90 days after PVAD.

A 63-year-old man presented with delayed inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated with ventricular septal rupture (VSR). He developed cardiogenic shock and respiratory failure requiring intubation and Impella (Abiomed) support.

Introduction: The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella are left ventricular unloading devices with peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in place and later serve as bridging therapy when VA-ECMO is terminated. We aimed to determine the potential differences in clinical outcomes and rate of complications between the two combinations of mechanical circulatory support.

Methods: This was a retrospective, single institutional cohort study conducted in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong.

Current guideline-recommended screening for pulmonary hypertension in patients with systemic sclerosis has not been evaluated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is disproportionately prevalent in Asians. This multicentre, cross-sectional screening study aims to study the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension among SLE patients using these guidelines, and identify independent predictors and develop a prediction model for pulmonary hypertension in SLE patients. SLE patients from participating centres will undergo an echocardiography- and biomarker-based pulmonary hypertension screening procedure as in the DETECT study.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are increasingly common among aging HIV-infected populations, particularly in Asia, where limited research has been conducted on their prevalence and management.
  • Current studies indicate that CVD risk factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and smoking are prevalent in these populations, and HIV infection along with antiretroviral therapy may heighten this risk.
  • To effectively address the growing CVD burden in HIV-positive individuals, there's a need for comprehensive guidelines that integrate CVD and HIV care, alongside research to develop better screening strategies and assess the future impact of CVD.
