Article Synopsis
- A national study evaluated in-hospital ischemic stroke rates following acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the U.S. using data from 2003 to 2014, revealing a stable incidence of 1.2% while observing patient characteristics and outcomes.
- Patients with in-hospital strokes were generally older, more likely to be female, and had higher rates of conditions like atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
- Despite the stable incidence, there was a significant decline in in-hospital mortality rates for both stroke and non-stroke STEMI patients, although those who experienced a stroke had notably higher mortality rates (25.7% vs 7.2%).
Background: A comparison of acute kindney injury (AKI) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prediction models is lacking. In this study, we aim to compare the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI score to the Mehran score in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) vs non-ACS patients.
Methods: We included patients who received PCI at our facility between July 2015 and December 2017.
Aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known complication of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).The Mehran score was developed to identify patients at risk for AKI after cardiac catheterization or PCI, but its use of contrast volume as part of the score calculation limits its application prior to the procedure. In this study, we evaluated the utility of a modified Mehran score that utilizes only pre-procedural data by excluding contrast volume.

: Heart Failure (HF) is a progressive epidemic associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Self-reported data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides a unique representation of individuals suffering from HF. The purpose of this study is to analyze updated NHANES 2013-2014 data to identify any changes in the prevalence and current risk factors of HF, especially given the novel lifestyles and increased medical awareness of current generations.
