Article Synopsis
- Syncope, or fainting, often affects adolescents and the elderly, leading to a significant number of emergency department visits and healthcare costs as its incidence rises with age.* -
- A study using data from 2006 to 2019 found that while the incidence of syncope increased, the rate of certain testing types decreased, with women undergoing fewer tests compared to men.* -
- Despite stable discharge rates from the ED, hospital admissions for patients over 65 increased, indicating a need for more efficient evaluation methods to reduce costs and enhance patient outcomes.*
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hamartomas are abnormal growths of mature tissues, typically benign and often found incidentally, but can lead to serious complications like obstruction and infection.
- Tracheal hamartomas, which are very rare, can cause respiratory symptoms such as cough and wheezing, potentially leading to airway obstruction and cardiovascular issues.
- A case report highlights a patient with a tracheal hamartoma misdiagnosed as obstructive pulmonary disease after recent heart surgery, underlining the importance for clinicians to recognize this uncommon condition.
Article Synopsis
- A 35-year-old pregnant woman with complete anterior placenta previa at 36 weeks gestation came for a routine check-up, reporting increased fatigue but no major concerns like bleeding or pain.
- During evaluation, her fetal heart rate was concerning, leading to a hospital referral, where a scan confirmed the same conditions without hemorrhage.
- After receiving antenatal steroids, she underwent a cesarean section with a smooth delivery, but experienced sudden cardiovascular collapse post-delivery due to hypotension and bradycardia.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common in patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. PAD exists as a spectrum, and patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), the most severe form of PAD, are at high risk for limb loss and death. We seek to determine patient characteristics and clinical outcomes among patients who underwent TAVR with or without CLTI.

We aimed to describe the utilization rate and outcomes of intravascular imaging to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this population.
Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database was queried for all hospitalizations for STEMI involving PCI from 2018 to 2019.
