Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effects of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD) on left ventricular function in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis.
- A total of 47 patients participated, with echocardiography used to assess various measures of left ventricular health, revealing that those on CAPD had significantly higher muscle mass and rates of diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy.
- The findings indicate that long-term CAPD treatment is associated with worse left ventricular function compared to HD, highlighting the need for further attention to heart health in patients on CAPD.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) impacts the no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing saphenous vein graft (SVG) procedures.
- Researchers analyzed data from 223 ACS patients, finding a significant correlation between higher SHR levels and increased rates of NRP, as well as identifying that older patients and those with a greater thrombus burden were more likely to develop NRP.
- The findings suggest that SHR is a reliable, non-invasive predictor of NRP in ACS patients during SVG interventions, highlighting the importance of managing glucose levels and thrombus burden in these cases.
Background: No-reflow is a frequent complication during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Available data is limited regarding its impact on short-term outcomes in patients undergoing manual thrombus aspiration. Renal impairment is also associated with higher complication rates in STEMI.
