While the quantitative assessment of RV function is challenging using 2D-echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard with its high spatial resolution and precise anatomical definition. We sought to investigate the prognostic value of CMR-derived RV systolic function in a large cohort of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

In severe ARDS, prone positioning is frequently used, which imposes technical challenges during transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) image acquisition. Moreover, prone positioning can affect cardiopulmonary function in ways that are reflected on the echocardiographic findings in this position.

Background: Among patients with heart failure and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction despite guideline directed medical therapy, cardiac resynchronization (CRT) is an effective technology to reverse LV remodeling. Given that a large portion of patients are non-responders, alternatives to traditional LV-lead placement have been explored. A promising alternative is image targeted placement of an LV-lead to latest mechanically activated segment without scar.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of admissions for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in this high-risk group.
Methods: Utilizing the National Readmission Databases, we identified individuals with or without FH admitted to participating hospitals for ACS.

The reported results confirmed the role of cationic disorder on the transport properties of the doped PrCaMnO system. For the case of the substitution by Co and Ni and Fe transition metals, the lower temperature side has been marked by the activation of the hopping conductivity over the nearest sites.

As PCI techniques and devices have progressed, the optimal duration of DAPT has come into question. We identified all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients undergoing PCI, who received one or more drug eluting stents (DES) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and randomized to short (1-3 months) versus standard duration DAPT.

Introduction: Challenges accessing behavioural health services in rural and underserved areas are compounded by severe shortages of behavioural health specialists, and difficulties placing patients. Tele-emergency (tele-ED) behavioural health is a promising solution for enhancing access to specialists and assisting in patient placement. This paper describes two tele-ED behavioural health models in the Midwest delivering mental- and substance use disorder services to rural and underserved adult populations.
