Pulmonaryembolism is the most common cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke. Konstantinides (Eur Heart J 41(4):543–603, 2020) Current guidelines categorize patients with PE as being at.
BACKGROUND:Prior clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonaryembolism (PE) using reduced thrombolytic doses and shorter infusion durations.
BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonaryembolism (PE).METHODS:This Patients were divided into early (<12 hours) and delayed CBT (12 hours) groups.
Smith interpretation: This is highly likely to be due to extreme right heart strain and is nearly diagnostic of pulmonaryembolism. It is of course pulmonaryembolism. No d-dimer or CT pulmonary angiogram was done when they discovered that she had normal coronary arteries. A qRR' pattern is seen in lead V1.
Smith comment: before reading anything else, this case screamed pulmonaryembolism to me. I would do bedside ultrasound to look at the RV, look for B lines as a cause of hypoxia (which would support OMI, and argue against PE), and if any doubt persists, a rapid CT pulmonary angiogram.
We used previously validated ICD-10-CM codes for acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral venous thrombosis, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonaryembolism, and acute deep venous thrombosis to define our study outcome.Results:We identified a total of 747 patients with OHSS in HCUP.
The bedside echo showed a large RV (Does this mean there is a pulmonaryembolism as the etiology?) When you suspect pulmonaryembolism due to large RV on POCUS, always look for right axis deviation and a large R-wave in V1 because the large RV may be entirely due to chronic RVH, not acute PE. Lots of info here.
We aim to assess how AI-ECG prediction model outputs, specifically the AF probability and delta age, are associated with adverse vascular outcomes in patients with migraine.Adult patients diagnosed with MwA and MwoA from 2000-2020 with at least one digital, standard 12-lead ECG were identified.
My answer: "This is classic for PE, but it can also be present in any hypoxia due pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction and resulting acute pulmonary hypertension and acute right heart strain. The ECG of most patients with longstanding pulmonary disease show more r wave progression than I see in ECG #1. This is NOT Wellens.
The D-dimer was elevated at 942, and the subsequent CT angiogram of the chest showed bilateral lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary emboli with a small right pleural effusion. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The final diagnosis on his ED note: pulmonaryembolism AND pericarditis.
and the patient was converted to veno-venous (V-V) ECMO due to persistent pulmonary insufficiency. Clin Chem [Internet] 2020;Available from: [link] Smith mini-review: Troponin in Emergency Department COVID patients Cardiac Troponin (cTn) is a nonspecific marker of myocardial injury. medRxiv [Internet] 2020;Available from: [link] 8.
They include myocardial ischemia, acute pericarditis, pulmonaryembolism, external compression due to mass over the right ventricular outflow tract region, and metabolic disorders like hyper or hypokalemia and hypercalcemia. 2020 Sep;31(9):2474-2483. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. Arch Cardiovasc Dis. 2017 Mar;110(3):188-195.
pulmonaryembolism, sepsis, etc.), Coronary thrombosis or embolism can result in MINOCA, either with or without a hypercoagulable state. Shark Fin morphology has been discussed a number of times on Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog ( For review — See the June 11, 2018 post and the January 24, 2020 post , to name just 2 instances ).
CT angiogram chest: no aortic dissection or pulmonaryembolism. Serial chest xrays: progressive bilateral pulmonary edema. There is a literature on this subject ( GGF van der Schoot et al: Neth Heart J 28(6):301-308, 2020 — and — Egred et al — Postgrad Med 81(962): 741-745, 2005 — to name just 2 reports ).
CT pulmonary angiogram was negative for pulmonaryembolism. If the patient continues to have reperfusion, then we would expect progressive terminal T wave inversion then full T wave inversion over time in the future ECGs. Second troponin T resulted at 1,318 ng/L. Chest x-ray was read as normal. Heparin was started. Reocclusion!
BackgroundNew treatment regimens have been introduced in the past 20 years, which may influence the short‐ and long‐term prognosis for patients with and without a cancer diagnosis following pulmonaryembolism. 8.0%) in 2018 to 2020 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.36 [95% CI, 0.32–0.40];P<0.001). In total, 60 614 patients (29.6%
Methods:Adult patients with CVT diagnosis from 2020-2022 in TriNetX COVID research network were included in the study. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), epilepsy, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonaryembolism were secondary outcomes. vs 13.6%; HR=1.51; 95% CI=1.04-2.20)
Prolonged ICU LoS is reported to be associated with worse clinical outcomes, but factors associated with prolonged LoS after MT are not established.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 499 patients undergoing EVT at a single large comprehensive stroke center from January 2015 to May 2020 was performed. P<0.001). ASPECTS < 7 (6.9
