Background: Outcomes of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remain largely unknown.
Objectives: This study sought to assess the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HCM patients following TAVR.
Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample from 2014 to 2018 for TAVR hospitalizations with and without HCM, creating a propensity-matched cohort to compare outcomes.
Aims: Literature regarding outcomes associated with atrial fibrillation among cirrhosis patients who had left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device procedure is limited. We aim to evaluate the in-hospital clinical outcomes and 30-day readmissions among LAAO with and without cirrhosis.

Methods: Data from the national readmissions database (NRD) sample that constitutes 49.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are common treatments for severe aortic stenosis (AS), but patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) were not included in major studies comparing these methods.
- A study analyzing data from 2016 to 2019 found that among HCM patients with severe AS, those who underwent TAVR had lower in-hospital mortality rates and fewer complications like bleeding and acute kidney injury compared to those who had SAVR.
- TAVR also resulted in shorter hospital stays and fewer patients needing to be discharged to different facilities, while overall hospital costs remained similar between the two procedures.
This study aimed to study group differences in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on the presence or absence of associated coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). The cause-and-effect relationship between CAAs and STEMI is largely unknown. The Nationwide Readmission database was used to identify and study group differences of patients with STEMI and with and without CAA from 2014 to 2018.

Literature regarding recent trends, mortality outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in cardiac amyloidosis (CA) patients is limited.To study coronary interventions, and trends in prevalence and mortality outcomes among CA patients with STEMI.Data from the national readmissions database (NRD) sample that constitutes 49.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To study coronary interventions and mortality among patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were admitted with septic shock.
Methods: Data from the national emergency department sample (NEDS) that constitutes 20% sample of hospital-owned emergency departments in the United States was analyzed for the septic shock related visits from 2016 to 2018. Septic shock was defined by the ICD codes.
Article Synopsis
- STEMI hospitalizations in the U.S. decreased significantly from 421,043 in 2002 to 208,510 in 2016, with a higher rate observed in males, whites, and those with higher socioeconomic status.
- The rate of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI patients rose from 32.8% in 2002 to 67.8% in 2016, particularly benefiting males, urban patients, and those from higher SES backgrounds.
- Despite the decline in hospitalizations, there was an increasing prevalence of comorbidities among STEMI patients, and females, rural communities, and low SES groups continue to be at higher risk, highlighting a need for targeted healthcare interventions
Background: The literature on outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) amongst kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is limited.
Objective: To study the outcomes of STEMI among KTR.
Methods: Data from the national readmissions database (NRD) sample that constitutes 49.
Background: Literature regarding outcomes of cardiac arrest with associated NSTEMI is limited. We aim to study the predictors and survival outcomes of cardiac arrest patients presenting to the emergency department who were diagnosed with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

The Nationwide Readmission Database 2018 was queried for primary AF hospitalizations with and without type 2 MI. Complex samples multivariable logistic and linear regression models were used to determine the association between type 2 MI and outcomes (in-hospital mortality, index length of stay [LOS], hospital costs, discharge to nursing facility, and 30-day all-cause readmissions).
