The association of perioperative serum uric acid variation with in-hospital adverse outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPrevious studies proposed the predictive value of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) in the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. µmol/L for in-hospital all-cause death and 42.6 µmol/L µmol/L for in-hospital all-cause death and 42.6 µmol/L

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.

Postdischarge major bleeding, myocardial infarction, and mortality risk after coronary artery bypass grafting

Heart BMJ

Objective To investigate the incidence and mortality risk associated with postdischarge major bleeding after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and relate this to the incidence of, and mortality risk from, postdischarge myocardial infarction. Median follow-up was 6.0 range 0–11) years. 95% CI 3.4

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.

In-hospital outcomes predictors and trends of redo sternotomy aortic root replacements: insights from a UK registry analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We analysed trends in the volume of operations, characteristics of hospital survivors vs. non-survivors, and predictors of in-hospital outcomes. Hospital mortality was 17% ( n  = 192), postoperative stroke or TIA occurred in 5.2% ( n  = 58), and postoperative dialysis was required in 11% ( n  = 109) of patients.

Case Report: Extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation in sudden cardiac arrest after acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mostly occurs in crowded public places outside hospitals, such as public sports facilities, airports, railway stations, subway stations, and shopping malls. Witnesses immediately gave continuous chest compressions and artificial respiration and called our hospital's emergency department (at 120).

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The overall prevalence of arterial hypertension was 33.2%, hyperlipidemia, 26.9%, smoking, 17.8%, and diabetes, 3.9%. of the patients were diagnosed with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), 36.8% The left anterior descending artery (LAD) was the most common culprit lesion in 51% of the patients.
