Abstract 4134796: Safety of over 1000 consecutive, selected low risk patients with accelerated discharge from a chest pain unit with early generation cardiac troponin use, no cardiac functional or anatomic testing and no clinical risk scores

Circulation

We assessed demographics, comorbidities, medications, and major cardiac events at 30 d and 6 mos post-discharge.Results:The study group of 1037 pts comprised 26% of the 4010 pts admitted to the CPU during the study interval from May 2005 to March 2015. Length of stay (LOS) in the CPU to discharge was 10.4

Myocardial sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 expression and cardiac remodelling in patients with severe aortic stenosis: The BIO?AS study

European Journal of Heart Failure

Our study aimed to evaluate the expression of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) gene and protein in patients with severe AS stratified in high gradient (HG) and low flow-low gradient (LF-LG) AS and its association with cardiac functional impairments.

What will you do for this patient transferred to you who is now asymptomatic?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A middle-aged woman with history of hypertension presented to another hospital approximately 2 hours after onset of chest pain and shortness of breath. Compared with sustained STEMI, transient STEMI was associated with less myocardial damage, less extensive coronary artery disease, higher TIMI flow grade, and better cardiac function.
