[Patients hospitalized in the ICU for acute coronary syndrome from 2012 to 2021: A single-center retrospective study].

Introduction: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are one of the main causes of mortality in France. Patients presenting with ACS are typically hospitalized in a specialized cardiology ward. The main objective of this study was to describe, characterize and evaluate the outcome of patients hospitalized for ACS in a generalist intensive care unit (rather than a cardiac care unit).

[Republication of: Evaluation of the implementation of the 2021 guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in patients aged over 75].

Introduction: Heart failure is a frequent pathology with a poor prognosis which mainly concerns elderly patients. The recommandations concerning the pharmagical treatment in heart failure with LVEF are reduced on randomized trials carried out on a young population. The aim of this work is to evaluate their application on a population aged ≥ 75.

[Symptomatic atrial fibrillation revealing chronic constrictive pericarditis in a young patient: A case report with a review of the literature].

Chronic Constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is a rare clinical entity that can pose diagnostic problems. Constrictive pericarditis is the final stage of a chronic inflammatory process characterized by fibrous thickening and calcification of the pericardium that impairs diastolic filling, reduces cardiac output, and ultimately leads to right heart failure and to atrial dilatation which can caused supravetricular arrythmia. Transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging each can reveal severe diastolic dysfunction, increased pericardial thickness and calcifications.

[Factors associated with patient participation in early return to the home Heart Failure program : a case-control study at the Centre Hospitalier de Troyes in 2017-2018].

Objectives: In 2013, the French National Health Insurance set up a programme to help patients with heart failure to return home and stay there (PRADO). During a hospitalization for cardiac decompensation, the medical team decides on the inclusion of the patient in the programme based on eligibility criteria defined. The objective of this study was to identify the factors most associated with the inclusion of heart failure patients in the PRADO program.
