Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of cardiac diseases among tourists requiring emergency medical evacuation from the Great Barrier Reef to Cairns Hospital.
- Out of 120 retrieved patients, 38% were diagnosed with significant cardiac conditions, with notable cases including type 2 myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmias.
- The research highlights the need for improved planning by tourism and health services considering the substantial cardiac-related emergencies observed in this popular tourist destination.
Aims: To identify the prevalence, trends, and outcomes of same-day discharge following elective percutaneous coronary intervention among six public hospitals in one Australian State.
Methods And Results: A retrospective observational research design was used. A total of 4387 cases were obtained from the State Cardiac Outcomes Registry and National Hospital Cost Data Collection.
Background: Bioresorbable scaffolds have been developed to overcome the limitations of drug-eluting stents and to reduce long-term adverse events.
Aims: We aimed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of a sirolimus-eluting resorbable magnesium scaffold to ensure its safe rollout into clinical routine.
Methods: BIOSOLVE-IV is a prospective, international, multicentre registry including more than 100 centres in Europe, Asia, and Asia-Pacific.
Objectives: To describe the demographics, presentation characteristics, clinical features and cardiac outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients who present to a regional cardiac referral centre ED with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: This was a single-centre observational study conducted at a regional referral hospital in Far North Queensland, Australia from November 2017 to September 2018 and January 2019 to December 2019. Study participants were 278 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people presenting to an ED and investigated for suspected ACS.
