Article Synopsis
- Inotropic support is commonly used for patients with cardiogenic shock (CS), but existing data on arrhythmic events in these patients is potentially biased.
- The DOREMI trial compared the effects of dobutamine and milrinone on patients, assessing the incidence and impact of arrhythmias on in-hospital outcomes.
- Nearly half of the patients experienced arrhythmic events, with ventricular arrhythmias linked to higher mortality, while several patient characteristics could help identify those at greater risk for such complications.
Background: The role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in the evaluation and management of patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) of unknown etiology remains unclear.
Objectives: This study evaluated the prevalence and prognostic significance of myocardial abnormalities detected with CMR among patients with frequent PVCs and no known structural heart disease.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included consecutive patients with frequent PVCs and a negative initial diagnostic work-up who underwent CMR with late gadolinium enhancement imaging.
Background: Major bleeding (MB) is an independent predictor of mortality among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Prevention of access-site MB has received significant attention. However, limited data have been obtained on the influence of access-site MB vs non-access-site MB and association with subsequent adverse in-hospital outcomes in the STEMI population undergoing pPCI.
