Circulation
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Department of Pediatrics (L.W., M.J.O., H.A., J.E., K.Y.L., C.W.-W., J.R., J.B.E.), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Background: The United Network of Organ Sharing made changes to the priority for allocation of hearts for transplantation (HT) in 2016 for pediatric patients and 2018 for adult patients. Although recent work has evaluated the impact of the revised allocation systems on mechanical circulatory support practices and waitlist outcomes, there are limited data that focus more specifically on the impact of the allocation changes on patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy and how these relationships might differ in pediatric and adult patients.
Methods: The United Network of Organ Sharing database was queried for pediatric (<18 years of age) and adult (18-50 years of age) patients with a CHD or cardiomyopathy diagnosis listed for HT.
Comparison of Associations of Food Security Instruments and Mediators With Premature All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease Death in US Adults.
Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, New Orleans, LA. (L.T., K.S.D., K.P.T., J.D.B.).
Background: Food insecurity is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is typically measured with the 10-item US Adult Food Security Survey Module. Shorter instruments may capture similar information, but this has not been validated against mortality in general populations.
Methods: A nationally representative sample of individuals aged 20 to 74 years from the US National Health Interview Survey 2011 to 2018 was included, with deaths linked to the National Death Index through 2019.
The comparative efficacy and safety of Tiger II versus judkins catheters in coronary angiogram via the radial artery access: a meta-analysis.
Acta Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: Trans-radial coronary angiogram (TR-CAG) has gained popularity due to lower complication rates compared to transfemoral access. Operators can use either conventional catheters, such as Judkins, or single dedicated catheters, such as Tiger-II. This meta-analysis compared the safety and efficacy of Tiger-II versus Judkins catheters in TR-CAG.

School of Nursing, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the barriers to and enablers of secondary prevention care and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) utilization by patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from the perspective of policymakers.
Methods: A qualitative study involving an interpretive descriptive design was conducted through recorded semistructured interviews with key decision-makers in cardiology care in Saudi Arabia. The analysis was guided by the updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), which informed the resulting themes.
