Temporal Trend in Revascularization for Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). A decline in CABG procedures was observed from 2007 to 2011 (annual percentage change, −11.5%;P=0.003), P=0.003), followed by stabilization. CABG and PCI had comparable 30‐day risk‐adjusted mortality risks.

Mitigation of pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy with superficial right ventricular mid‐septal pacing: A long‐term retrospective comparison with apical pacing

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction It remains unclear if pacing induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) may be minimized by standard pacing of the right ventricle (RV) at sites other than the RV apex. Methods and Results A retrospective evaluation was performed on all patients undergoing pacemaker implantation between 2011 and 2022. PICM occurred in 4.5%

A coronary angiogram, that tends to cross the boundaries of your thoughts

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

2017 ) Clinical implication of such coronary anomalies Apart from angiographic surprises, these anomalous coronary arteries may under-perfuse the ventricle and present as unexplained cardiomyopathy , until we realize the anatomical errors in coronary anatomy. 2011 Dec, 4 (12) 1320–1323 Acquired mimickers of left main atresia 1.

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A triphasic left ventricular filling pattern with an additional mid diastolic wave, called T wave by some authors and L wave by others, can occur in situations of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, especially in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. 2011 Dec;19(4):169-73. J Cardiovasc Ultrasound. 2009 Sep;17(3):86-95. Park JH et al.

Changes in peak oxygen consumption in Fabry disease and associations with cardiomyopathy severity

Heart BMJ

The aim of this study was to assess exercise intolerance in FD and identify whether this correlates with the phase of cardiomyopathy. Methods This was a retrospective observational study of adults with FD undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX) between September 2011 and September 2023 at a national referral centre in the UK.

Tachycardia, fever to 105, and ischemic ST Elevation -- a Bridge too Far

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

In this abstract from 2011, we found that 4%(4 of 99) type 2 MI and 38% of type 1 MI had ST Elevation. I said I think there is a fixed stenosis in the LAD and the tachycardia and stress caused a type 2 STEMI. link] An angiogram was done: It showed no culprit and no coronary disease, but did show a myocardial bridge in the mid LAD.

Impact of Heart Transplant Allocation Changes on Waitlist Mortality and Clinical Practice in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiomyopathy

Circulation

Cohorts were grouped into preallocation and postallocation change eras: pediatric patients from January 1, 2011, to March 21, 2016, and January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021; and adult patients from January 1, 2015, to October 17, 2018, and January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021.
