Article Synopsis
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are the main cause of death worldwide and are expected to keep increasing.
- A certain measurement called the MHR ratio, which looks at inflammation and fat in the body, helps predict how well patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) might do.
- Studies show that patients with lower MHR levels have a much better chance of surviving both in the hospital and over longer periods compared to those with higher MHR levels.
Aims: To investigate whether seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations influence the severity of decompensations and long-term outcomes of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods And Results: We included consecutive AHF patients attended at 40 Spanish emergency departments during November and December 2022. They were grouped according to whether they had received seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccination.
Background: Chest pain, a common emergency department 35 (ED) presentation, requires rapid evaluation. Optical technology-based non-invasive wearable devices (Infrasensor, RCE, Carlsbad, CA) rapidly and transcutaneously assesses cardiac Troponin I (cTnI).
Objectives: To perform a pilot study describing the performance of the Infrasensor in cTnI defined cohorts.
