Risk Factors of Acute Ischemic Stroke and Mortality Among Adults With Endocardial Fibroelastosis.

Objectives: Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with high morbidity and mortality. The literature is sparse on information pertaining to risk stratification. Thus, we sought to highlight the risk factors of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and mortality in adults with EFE.

Age-related disparities in complications among women with peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Introduction: While the exact pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy, a potentially life-threatening condition, is still unknown, its incidence is rising globally. We sought to understand the differences in outcomes and complications based on age.

Methods: Records from the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample were used for our study.
