Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients admitted with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) as well as to analyze the independent association of CAD with in-hospital outcomes among PPCM patients. Methods Data were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample from January 2016 to December 2019. We assessed the independent association of CAD with outcomes in patients admitted with PPCM. Predictors of mortality in patients admitted with PPCM were also analyzed. Results There was a total of 4,730 patients with PPCM, 146 of whom had CAD (3.1%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CAD in patients with PPCM was independently associated with several outcomes, and, among them, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 58.457, 95% CI: 5.403-632.504, p= 0.001) was positively associated with CAD. CAD was found to be protective against preeclampsia (aOR: 0.351, 95% CI: 0.126-0.979, p = 0.045). Predictors of in-hospital mortality for patients with PPCM include cardiogenic shock (aOR: 12.818, 95% CI: 7.332-22.411, p = 0.001), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (OR: 3.429, 95% CI: 1.43-8.22, p = 0.006), chronic kidney disease (OR: 2.851, 95% CI: 1.495-5.435, p = 0.001), and atrial fibrillation (OR: 2.326, 95% CI: 1.145-4.723, p = 0.020). Conclusion In a large cohort of patients admitted with PPCM, we found the prevalence of CAD to be 3.1%. CAD was associated with several adverse outcomes, including STEMI, but protective against preeclampsia.

Background: In recent years, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have emerged as a valuable treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure. Despite these medications seeming to be safe in older people, the literature about SGLT2i and frailty is still limited. This study aims to evaluate whether SGLT2i use is associated with increased survival in older adults and if frailty can affect the findings.

Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.

We describe a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic myopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and end-stage renal disease who was admitted for heart failure and listed for a dual cardiac-renal transplantation. Extensive calcification in the iliac arteries prevented clamping. Proximal endovascular balloon control of the left iliac artery was achieved using contralateral access; distal control was established by passing a Fogarty catheter distally through an iliac arteriotomy, later used for anastomosis of the cadaveric conduit.
