ResultsThe bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 and Sudden Cardiac Death highlights key research trends from 2020 to 2024, revealing a rapid surge in scientific output during the pandemic. The peak in publications occurred in 2021, driven by the urgent need to understand the cardiovascular implications of COVID-19.
Systematic search conducted without language restrictions from December 1, 2019 to June 31, 2022 on PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane library, ProQuest Coronavirus Research Database, COVID-19 Living Overview of the Evidence (L-OVE) subset of Episteminokos and the World Health Organization (WHO) Covid-19 databases.
Objective To study the association between COVID-19 vaccination and the risk of post-COVID-19 cardiac and thromboembolic complications. Each stage included all individuals eligible for vaccination, with no previous SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccine at the start date. to 0.29), 0.53 (0.44
The cumulative incidence of MACE and all- cause of mortality in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 pneumonia groups. The results indicate a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in COVID-19 patients. The results indicate a lower risk of cardiovascular disease in COVID-19 patients.
Getty Images milla1cf Wed, 03/20/2024 - 19:16 March 20, 2024 — SARS-CoV-2 , the virus that causes COVID-19 , can damage the heart even without directly infecting the heart tissue, a National Institutes of Health -supported study has found.
Heartfailure is a leading cause of death worldwide and is especially fatal for people who don't have access to medical facilities. So, a team of researchers aims to bring heartfailure screening from the lab to the home.
Despite proven benefits in reducing morbidity and mortality, many heartfailure (HF) patients do not receive optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). ESC HeartFailure 2024; 11 : 560–569. The post Digital Consults to Enhance HeartFailure Treatment: The ADMINISTER Trial appeared first on Cardiology Update.
Getty Images milla1cf Tue, 04/30/2024 - 12:56 April 30, 2024 — A multicenter study led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center ( VUMC ) and Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy in Nashville has identified a potential new treatment for acute heartfailure , a leading cause of hospitalization and death. hospitals from emergency rooms.
Abstract Aims The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare systems and possibly impacted the management of heartfailure (HF). A total of 85 564 completed admissions were identified, of which 45 080 were hospitalized in the pre-COVID-19 period and 40 484 were hospitalized in the COVID-19 impacted period.
The existence of the Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the lives of people around the world and is continuing to do so. Primarily, physicians were suspecting Covid-19 to be a respiratory disorder. Now let us move forward and study some other crucial impacts of Covid-19 on cardiology departments.
I’m a cardiologist, and the first disconnect that became glaringly obvious very quickly was the impact COVID was having on the heart. As I walked through COVID rooms in the Spring of 2020 trying to hold my breath, I waited for a COVID cardiac tsunami. There never was a cardiac tsunami from COVID.
Impact of COVID-19 in patients with HF and mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction. COVID-19, coronvirus disease-2019; HF, heartfailure. Aim COVID-19 may affect clinical risk in patients with heartfailure. COVID-19 cases and deaths did not differ by randomized assignment.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices are well-established adjunctive treatment measures for patients with heartfailure. However, the role of ECMO as a bridge to definitive therapy in a setting of acute heartfailure is less established.
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the world's foremost killers, accounting for 16% of all deaths worldwide. IHD is the main cause of heartfailure (HF), as it leads to pathological changes in the heart, improper pumping function and eventual death.
However, researchers said the drug may be helpful in reducing heartfailure risks, including hospitalization, following a heart attack. All secondary endpoints related specifically to heartfailure outcomes were significantly reduced among patients who received empagliflozin.
We evaluated the association between social vulnerability and a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, heartfailure, venous thromboembolism, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and death, following discharge, using Cox regression models.
Decline in exercise ability is a hallmark of progression to overt heartfailure. These results also speak to the importance of continuing to focus on earlier recognition of heartfailure risk in patients with diabetes and on initiating treatment before the condition has progressed to overt heartfailure.”
Enhancing access to care using telehealth is a priority for improving outcomes among older adults with heartfailure, increasing quality of care, and decreasing costs.
Background/objectives Heartfailure (HF) is a growing clinical and economic burden for patients and health systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to avoidance and delay in care, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality among many patients with HF.
Introduction The diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal for heartfailure with preserved ejection (HFpEF) has expanded. Methods A single-centre retrospective analysis of 202 HFpEF outpatients was performed over 12 months before the COVID-19 pandemic.
While composite of death and heartfailure hospitalizations was not significantly reduced, empagliflozin may help reduce heartfailure risks after a heart attack, according to results from the EMPACT-MI trial presented on day one of the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions, ACC.24,
This 2023 Cochrane review of 60 randomized trials in 8728 heartfailure patients, confirms the benefits of participation in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR), including reduced risk of hospitalization and a clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life.
Semaglutide, the popular anti-obesity medication originally developed to treat diabetes, continues to show cardiovascular benefits beyond weight loss, including reducing risk of death, reducing serious COVID-19-related events and improving heartfailure (HF) symptoms, according to six new substudies published in JACC.
Objective To evaluate stress, depression and quality of life among community-dwelling patients with heartfailure (HF) and evaluate their effect on perceived medication adherence in a socioeconomically challenged setting.
Patients with heartfailure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF) have a high risk of developing LRTI. No effect of empagliflozin was observed on COVID-19 incidence. Empagliflozin reduced the risk of lower respiratory tract infections. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.
For the global rank score all participants were ranked across three hierarchical groups: Tier 1 = time to death or urgent heart transplantation or implantation of a ventricular assist device; Tier 2 = time to non-fatal HF requiring i.v. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the planned number of patients could not be recruited.
This is a 30-something healthy patient presented with COVID pneumonia who presented to the ED. An elevated troponin in a COVID patient confers about 4x the risk of mortality than a normal one. Beware elevated troponins in COVID patients. He was moderately hypoxic. There is minimal, probably normal STE in V2-V6. 3–8 Shi et al.
The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, new myocardial infarction or hospitalisation for heartfailure at 12 months. Results The trial was discontinued early by the funder due to slow recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. hours (IQR: 0.9–2.0)) hours (IQR: 22.9–72.6)). –72.6)).
Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. As of Feb. Almost a million followers now.
(Heart) Meanwhile, cardioobstetrics training is critically inadequate in the United States (Journal of the American Heart Association) The Women's Health Initiative found that postmenopausal women with a history of infertility were more likely to develop incident heartfailure with intact ejection fraction.
The Role of Cardiologists Cardiologists are at the forefront of the battle against heart diseases. Their expertise covers a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, heartfailure, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects.
Hybrid Conference’ : ‘The RNA vaccines against COVID-19 mark the beginning of a technological revolution that will transform the way we treat disease and restore health. Maybe I should just attend this meeting ‘ The New Frontier of RNA Nanotherapeutic. Monday, October 24, 2022 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
She adds there are further potential advantages: “A remote robotic echo system may help protect more health professionals from the risk of exposure during pandemics like the COVID-19 as the cardiologist may not need to be in close contact with the patient if only echocardiogram consultation is required.”
Chadi Alraies discusses highlights from the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2023, which were held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA), on November 11-13, 2023. There were many important developments in presented in key clinical trial presentations and publications stemming from the AHA Scientific Sessions 2023.
Between the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing amount of chronic diseases found in patients, the need for virtual healthcare has taken flight at an accelerated pace. This has made access to high-quality remote healthcare services critical for both clinics and their patients.
The situation became particularly bad when the COVID-19 pandemic began. The scale of the problem is also shown by the average ambulance response time for category 2 calls (suspected heart attacks and strokes), which has risen to 59 minutes , whereas the target is 18 minutes. What are the reasons for this?
Background Studies have shown an increased risk of cardiac disease following COVID-19, but how it compares to pneumonia of other etiologies is unclear. Aims To determine the incidence and HRs of cardiac disease in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 compared with other viral or bacterial pneumonias.
Among 777 participants who received a COVID-19 mRNA-1273 booster vaccination, 40 (5.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.7–7.0%) Abstract Aims To explore the incidence and potential mechanisms of oligosymptomatic myocardial injury following COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccination.
