Article Synopsis
- * Out of 2,754 CS patients, 442 (16%) had VCS, with a higher median age (70 years) and a greater proportion of females (40.3%) compared to non-VCS patients, and the majority had native valve issues, particularly affecting the aortic valve.
- * Patients with VCS had worse outcomes, showing higher 1-year (44% vs 37%)
Article Synopsis
- - The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is struggling because of siloed strategies that prevent a unified approach.
- - To tackle these issues, the text highlights three key areas: how SDGs interact with each other, modeling these interactions, and using appropriate tools.
- - By focusing on these interconnected aspects, the aim is to enhance progress on the SDGs and effectively apply the principles of integration and indivisibility.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages and the occurrence of acute congestive heart failure (CHF) events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from data collected between 2009 and 2017.
- Results show that patients with CKD stage 3a or worse experience significantly more acute heart failure events and higher in-hospital mortality rates compared to those with CKD stages 1-2.
- The findings highlight that a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a strong predictor of these acute events, suggesting that patients with advanced CKD may benefit from targeted interventions to reduce the risk of heart failure after PCI.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how the severity of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) impairment affects bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- It analyzed data from over 13,500 PCI procedures between 2009 and 2017, categorizing patients based on their pre-procedure LVEF levels.
- Results indicated that patients with mildly reduced or reduced LVEF had a significantly higher risk of major bleeding events, particularly from blood transfusions and gastrointestinal issues, but LVEF did not predict certain types of bleeding such as access site complications.
This single-center, observational study assessed the impact of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) on temporary mechanical circulatory support. All adult patients admitted to the Cleveland Clinic main campus Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) between December 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, CICU with CS necessitating mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, or venous arterial-extra corporeal membrane oxygenation were retrospectively analyzed for this study. Baseline characteristics and 30-day outcomes were collected through physician-directed chart review.
