Press Release Patients Who Received Ross Procedure Demonstrate Excellent Survival Rates after 20 Years January 26, 2025 KCummings Sun, 01/26/2025 - 13:40 LOS ANGELES January 26, 2024 Young patients who have undergone the Ross procedure for aortic valve disease have shown excellent long-term survival, the majority without the need for additional surgery two decades later.
ObjectiveResearch on predictive models for hospital mortality in patients who have survived 24h following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is limited. We aim to explore the factors associated with hospital mortality in these patients and develop a predictive model to aid clinical decision-making and enhance the survival rates of patients post-resuscitation.MethodsWe sourced the data from a retrospective study within the Dryad dataset, dividing patients who suffered cardiac arrest following CP
In todays 11:30 a.m. session, "Robotic Cardiac Surgery: The Future Is Now," Dr. Tedy Sawma will discuss how mitral regurgitation, increasingly common in aging populations, presents unique challenges for older patients considering surgical treatment options. While mitral valve repair remains an effective solution, the invasiveness of traditional open-heart surgery often discourages both patients and healthcare providers.
AimsHeart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality, influenced significantly by sodium balance. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a non-invasive method to evaluate tissue sodium load in HF patients. This proof-of-principle study investigates the association between tissue sodium content, assessed by MRI, and HF-related baseline parameters in an outpatient cohort of patients with chronic heart failure, including those with reduced eject

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
(MedPage Today) -- LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage, according to a large registry.
(MedPage Today) -- LOS ANGELES -- Cardiac surgeons were urged to readjust their attitudes toward the tricuspid valve if they want to keep some footing in a rapidly evolving field dominated by transcatheter innovations. At the Society of Thoracic.

Previous studies highlighted the association between the triglycerideglucose (TyG) index and cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. However, whether diabetes affects TyG-cardiovascular diseases (CVD.
(MedPage Today) -- LOS ANGELES -- For surgeons already split on their preference of inhaled pulmonary vasodilator to prevent postoperative right ventricular (RV) failure, a shifting market is not helping decision-making, as highlighted by a debate.
Penetrating neck injuries are rare and require urgent surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. This report highlights a unique case involving complex surgical repair of tracheal, esopha.
Sarcomas are rare cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues, manifesting in diverse anatomical locations, but notably in connective tissue, muscles and the skeleton. Thoracic sarcomas present a unique diagn.
Interventricular septal dissection is a critical disease characterized by the separation of the intraventricular septum into two layers, forming an intermediate layer with a cystic cavity that communicates wit.
Monitoring perioperative tissue perfusion is crucial in clinical anesthesia to protect organs and ensure patient safety. Indicators like hemodynamic parameters, tissue metabolism, and microcirculation markers.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor in outcomes for traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (TRAD-CAB) utilizing aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegic arrest. In order to determin.
Abstract Evidence-based practice integrates research into clinical care to enhance patient outcomes, yet gaps persist in translating evidence into practice. Learning health systems (LHS) address these gaps by embedding knowledge generation within healthcare delivery. These systems use healthcare information to improve clinical practice and the value, quality and efficiency of the systems providing healthcare services.

Written by Magnus Nossen and Ken Grauer You are shown the ECG that appears in Figure-1 obtained from an 80-something year old man. Other than sinus rhythm What else do you see in this tracing? Note: The ECG in Figure-1 was initially recorded using the Cabrera Format ( See Comment by Dr. Grauer at the bottom of the page in the October 26, 2020 post for review of the Cabrera Format ).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 2 , Page 527-532, February 1, 2025. BACKGROUND:Acute ischemic stroke treatment typically involves tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) or tenecteplase, but about 50% of patients do not achieve successful reperfusion. The causes of tPA resistance, influenced by thrombus composition and timing, are not fully clear. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), associated with poor outcomes and reperfusion resistance, contribute to thrombosis.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 2 , Page 285-293, February 1, 2025. BACKGROUND:Sex-specific differences in stroke risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes are well documented. However, little is known about real-world differences in transient ischemic attack (TIA) hospitalizations and outcomes between men and women.METHODS:This was a retrospective cohort study of the 2016 to 2021 Nationwide Readmissions Database in the United States.
