Role of Exercise Stress Echocardiography in Systemic Sclerosis: Pathophysiological and Prognostic Significance of the Systemic Sclerosis with a Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction Phenotype.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Gunma, Japan.
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress echocardiography to assess the presence of HFpEF in these patients is unclear.
Methods And Results: Patients with SSc (n=140) underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis.
Comprehensive treatment strategy in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus-related pulmonary artery hypertension: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Showa University School of Medicine, 1-5-8 Hatanodai, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo 142-8555, Japan.
Background: Although the prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has dramatically improved, pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is one of the life-threatening comorbidities associated with SLE. The management of the comorbidity is occasionally challenging due to the lack of consensus regarding treatment options including immunosuppressive agents, selective pulmonary vasodilators, and cardiac rehabilitation.
Case Summary: A 28-year-old female who terminated prednisolone after remission of SLE by her own discretion 3 years ago developed dyspnoea on effort.
Association between procedure duration and adverse events in congenital cardiac catheterization.
Cardiol Young
January 2025
The Heart Center, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA.
Background: Procedure duration is an important predictor of patient outcomes in surgery. However, the relationship between procedure duration and adverse events in congenital cardiac catheterization is largely unexplored.
Methods: All cases entered into the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes from 2014 to 2017 were included.
Evolving operator practices reduced patient radiation dose in Interventional Cardiology: Trends in a single center.
Am Heart J
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian, New York, NY 10032.
Background: This retrospective study addresses the role of operator and fluoroscopy equipment in reducing patient radiation exposure in the Cath lab.
Methods: Data from 99,400 procedures performed in our institution between 2007 and 2019 were reviewed. Dosimetric parameters included reference point air kerma (K), Kerma Area Product (P), fluoroscopic time, and contrast volume.
Impact of nurse-led educational intervention on nurse's knowledge about patient safety after cardiac catheterisation.
J Pak Med Assoc
January 2025
College of Nursing Male, Sindh Government Lyari General Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.
Objective: To assess the impact of educational intervention on nurse's knowledge related to patient safety after cardiac catheterisation in tertiary care settings.
Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted from October 2022 to May 2023 after approval from the ethics review board of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, and comprised staff nurses working in cardiac catheterisation laboratory, cardiac care unit and allied departments of 4 tertiary care hospitals. After baseline assessment, those with knowledge score <70% were enlisted for educational intervention which was done in small groups and lasted about 120 minutes.
