Context: Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) have both increased risk of cardiovascular disease and adverse outcomes with many medical emergencies. However, limited data exist specifically regarding ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the context of AI.
Objective: To evaluate associations between AI and in-hospital outcomes of patients with STEMI.
Left atrial veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (LAVA-ECMO) in cardiogenic shock (CS) is a novel mechanical cardiocirculatory support strategy that provides robust cardiocirculatory support and simultaneous left and right atrial venting by way of a multifenestrated transeptal catheter. We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of all patients aged ≥18 years with CS who underwent LAVA-ECMO at a quaternary care institution from 2018 to 2023. Clinical outcomes and prehemodynamics and posthemodynamics were evaluated.

Objectives: This study sought to examine contemporary characteristics, trends, and outcomes of IVL TAVR in the United States.
Article Synopsis
- - Recent studies highlight a significant health issue known as "post-PE syndrome" (PPES) in patients who survived pulmonary embolism (PE), with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) being useful for evaluating these individuals.
- - A systematic review analyzed 14 studies involving 804 post-PE patients to assess their exercise capacity and ventilatory efficiency through CPET data collected before August 2023.
- - Findings revealed no major differences in exercise capacity between patients assessed less than six months versus six months or more after PE; however, those evaluated later showed significantly better ventilatory efficiency.
