Impella versus Non-Impella for Non-emergent High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Impella vs. Non-Impella for HR-PCI.
Am J Cardiol
January 2025
Section of Interventional Cardiology, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC, USA. Electronic address:
Background: The benefit of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with Impella (Abiomed, Inc, Danvers, MA) for patients undergoing non-emergent, high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) is unclear and currently the subject of a large randomized clinical trial (RCT), PROTECT IV. While contemporary registry data from PROTECT III demonstrated improvement of outcomes with Impella when compared with historical data (PROTECT II), there is lack of direct comparison to the HR-PCI cohort that did not receive Impella support.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients from our institution meeting PROTECT III inclusion criteria (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <35% with unprotected left main or last remaining vessel or LVEF <30% undergoing multivessel PCI), and compared this group (NonIMP) to the published outcomes data from the PROTECT III registry (IMP).
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in the Native American Population.

Native Americans are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease in comparison with other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Previous research has analyzed risk factors, quantified prevalence rates, and examined outcomes of cardiovascular disease in Native Americans, yet few studies have considered the role of societal and psychological factors on the increased burden of cardiovascular disease in Native Americans. Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including poor nutrition, reduced physical activity, obesity, and increased substance use, are exacerbated in Native American communities due to cultural and historical factors.

December 2024
Department of Public Health Dentistry, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, Narketpally, Nalgonda, Telangana, India.
Background: The chefs and pantry workers environment plays a crucial role in the general and oral health. These workers have some unusual work timings and have a lot of stress and anxiety, and they also consume tobacco, alcohol, and smoke the cigarettes, which has a greater impact on oral health.
Material And Methods: A total of 86 kitchen workers (53 chefs and 33 pantry workers) of ten well-known restaurants in Hyderabad city were included.
Whole-Heart Histological and CMR Validation of Electroanatomic Mapping by Multielectrode Catheters in an Ovine Model.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; Westmead Applied Research Centre, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Electronic address:
Background: Accurate electroanatomic mapping is critical for identifying scar and the long-term success of ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Objectives: This study sought to determine the accuracy of multielectrode mapping (MEM) catheters to identify scar on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and histopathology.
Methods: In an ovine model of myocardial infarction, we examined the effect of electrode size, spacing, and mapping rhythm on scar identification compared to CMR and histopathology using 5 multielectrode mapping catheters.

Analytical errors related to endogenous or exogenous substances are a cause of unnecessary investigation, intervention, and patient concern especially in immunoassay platforms. In this report, we systematically screened for estradiol interference using a practical algorithm. For extended research in interference screening, repeated estradiol measurements for control and case samples were carried out for method comparison (three immunoassay platforms and one liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) measurement), dilution test, polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation, and heterophile antibody blocking tube.
