Background: Prior analyses have suggested that a smaller left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with reduced survival following HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device implantation.
Objectives: In this trial-based comprehensive analysis, the authors sought to examine clinical characteristics and association with the outcome of this specific relationship.
Methods: The authors analyzed the presence of LVEDD <55 mm among 1,921 analyzable HeartMate 3 patients within the MOMENTUM 3 (Multicenter Study of MagLev Technology in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Circulatory Support Therapy With HeartMate 3) trial portfolio, on endpoints of overall survival and adverse events at 2 years.
Objectives: To evaluate the Outcomes of Fenestration of Lamina Terminalis for Hydrocephalus following Clipping of Ruptured Aneurysms of Anterior Circulation.
Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted at the Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore from August 2022 to July 2023. Seventy seven patients meeting the inclusion criteria of age group 20-65 years, ruptured saccular aneurysm of anterior circulation with or without lamina terminalis fenestration during clipping, were enrolled through non-probability convenience sampling.
Article Synopsis
- Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis have similar symptoms and tissue characteristics, leading to questions about their relationship on the inflammatory cardiomyopathy spectrum.
- The case involves a patient who experienced cardiogenic shock linked to GCM, confirmed by biopsy.
- After a heart transplant, the patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging and another biopsy.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is an underdiagnosed condition that can lead to serious heart issues, making early detection crucial for treatment and prevention of complications like heart failure and arrhythmias.!* -
- A study analyzed hospital records from 2016 to 2019, delineating patients diagnosed with CS versus those without, highlighting that younger male patients often presented with specific cardiac issues such as ventricular arrhythmias and heart blocks.!* -
- The results indicated that those diagnosed with CS underwent more treatments and had longer hospital stays, emphasizing the importance of recognizing CS early for better patient outcomes.!*
