Propensity score-based comparison of high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting vs. left ventricular assist device implantation in patients with coronary artery disease and advanced heart failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this setting, implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) might be an alternative.MethodsWe retrospectively compared the outcomes of adult patients with CAD and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 25% who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. LVAD implantation.

Case Report: Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement in prosthetic valve endocarditis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

A 70-year-old female patient with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft presented with bioprosthetic valve failure secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis. This resulted in early death due to myocardial infarction and acute heart failure.

Revascularization Strategies in Stable Coronary Artery Disease: ISCHEMIA Trial Insights

Cardiology Update

In the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial, researchers examined the risk of ischemic events in patients with stable coronary artery disease. years, with 57.1% occurring within 30 days after CABG.

Propensity score analysis of red cell distribution width to serum calcium ratio in acute myocardial infarction as a predictor of in-hospital mortality

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Objective Red cell distribution width (RDW) and serum calcium (Ca) levels are predictors of in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. However, their sensitivity and specificity are limited. Results A total of 4,105 ICU-admitted AMI patients were analyzed.

Management and outcomes of spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a systematic review of the literature

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The outcomes of interest were all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), heart failure (HF), need for additional revascularization, target vessel revascularization (TVR), SCAD recurrence, and stroke. Approximately 48.5% There were initially 65.2%

Abstract 4141170: Impact of Serum 5-Hydroxytryptophan Levels on 15-Year Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

Circulation

This study investigates the relationship between baseline 5-HTP levels and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients who have experienced ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Objective:Our years, 53 women) followed for up to 15 years.
