Acute heart failure from lyme carditis.

Circ Heart Fail

Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine, Cardiovascular Division, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Published: March 2012

Carditis can complicate Lyme disease in an estimated <5% of cases, but cardiogenic shock is rare. We report a case of severe biventricular heart failure as a manifestation of a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction in a patient with early Lyme disease following treatment with ceftriaxone.

Background: Remnant cholesterol (remnant-C) contributes to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), particularly in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. Patients with impaired glucose metabolism and ASCVD remain at significant residual risk after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the role of remnant-C in this population has not yet been investigated.

Dynamic EIT technology for real-time non-invasive monitoring of acute pulmonary embolism: a porcine model experiment.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism represents the third most prevalent cardiovascular pathology, following coronary heart disease and hypertension. Its untreated mortality rate is as high as 20-30%, which represents a significant threat to patient survival. In view of the current lack of real-time monitoring techniques for acute pulmonary embolism, this study primarily investigates the potential of the pulsatility electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technique for the detection and real-time monitoring of acute pulmonary embolism through the collection and imaging of the pulsatile signal of pulmonary blood flow.

The current treatments and drugs of myocardial infarction (MI) remain insufficient. In recent years, natural products have garnered significant attention for their potential in treating cardiovascular diseases due to their availability and lower toxicity. Saponins, in particular, showed promising effects for cardiac protection.

Adverse early-life experiences alter the regulation of major stress systems such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Low early-life maternal care (MC) has repeatedly been related to blunted cortisol stress responses. Likewise, an acutely increased awareness of mortality (mortality salience [MS]) also has been shown to blunt cortisol responses.

Background: The incidence, mortality, and readmission rates for acute heart failure (AHF) are high, and the in-hospital mortality for AHF patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is higher. However, there is currently no method to accurately predict the mortality of AHF patients.

Methods: The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Ⅳ (MIMIC-Ⅳ) database was used to perform a retrospective study.
