Trends in direct health care costs among US adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with and without diabetes
Cardiovascular Diabetology
JULY 7, 2024
Objective Population-based national data on the trends in expenditures related to coexisting atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) and diabetes is scarce. We assessed the trends in direct health care expenditures for ASCVD among individuals with and without diabetes, which can help to better define the burden of the co-occurrence of diabetes and ASCVD.
60 year old with chest pain, STEMI negative. What should the discharge diagnosis be?
Dr. Smith's ECG Blog
JULY 7, 2024
Written by Jesse McLaren A previously healthy 60 year old developed exertional chest pain with diaphoresis, and called EMS. Here’s the EMS ECG, digitized with PM cardio. What do you think? There’s sinus arrhythmia with normal conduction, normal axis and normal voltages. There’s loss of R waves in V2-3 with hyperacute waves V1-5. There’s no significant ST elevation but there are two forms of ST depression: deWinter T wave V3-5 and precordial swirl with ST depression V6 reciprocal to subtle STE in

RYR2 deficient human model identifies calcium handling and metabolic dysfunction impacting pharmacological responses
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
JULY 7, 2024
Creation of disease models utilizing hiPSCs in combination with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing enable mechanistic insights into differential pharmacological responses. This allows translation of efficacy and safety findings from a healthy to a diseased state and provides a means to predict clinical outcome sooner during drug discovery. Calcium handling disturbances including reduced expression levels of the type 2 ryanodine receptor (RYR2) are linked to cardiac dysfunction; here we have created a RYR2
Effect of flow-optimized pressure control ventilation-volume guaranteed (PCV-VG) on postoperative pulmonary complications: a consort study
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
JULY 7, 2024
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after one-lung ventilation (OLV) significantly impact patient prognosis and quality of life. Objective To study the impact of an optimal inspiratory flow rate on PPCs in thoracic surgery patients. Methods One hundred eight elective thoracic surgery patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups in this consort study (control group: n = 53 with a fixed inspiratory expiratory ratio of 1:2; and experimental group [flow rate optimizati

Coronary Artery Disease Journal
JULY 7, 2024
Background In myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), there are limited patient-level data on outcomes by sex and race. Objective The aim of this study was to assess baseline demographics and 3-year outcomes by sex and race for MINOCA patients. Methods Patients admitted to a single center with acute myocardial infarction (MI) between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2018, were identified by chart and angiographic review.
