Novel scoring system based on clinical examination for prediction of in-hospital mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients: a retrospective cohort study
Open Heart
OCTOBER 13, 2022
Background This study aims to develop PADjadjaran Mortality in Acute coronary syndrome (PADMA) Score to predict in-hospital mortality in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients based on clinical examination only. Additionally, we also compared the predictive value of the PADMA Score with the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE), Canada Acute Coronary Syndrome (C-ACS), and The Portuguese Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ProACS) risk scores.
Remote Patient Cardiac Monitoring Cost – from Expense to Investment
Vector Remote
OCTOBER 11, 2022
Remote cardiac monitoring collects information from patients’ implantable rhythm management devices and directly transmits data to a physician’s office, saving both the patient and clinic time and cost. This allows the medical team to review the results promptly and eliminates the need for a patient to be physically present. The benefits of remote patient monitoring are vital to the success of a cardiac clinic, The post Remote Patient Cardiac Monitoring Cost – from Expense to Investment appeared
ECG Cases 36 – PACER Mnemonic for Approach to Pacemaker Patients
ECG Cases
OCTOBER 11, 2022
In this month's ECG Cases blog Dr. McLaren explains the PACER mnemonic approach to patients with pacemakers: Pacemaker spike: is it appropriately presence/absent, is there pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (apply magnet) or is there failure to pace (apply magnet to stop sensing, cardio consult)? Aware (sensing): is it normal, is there oversensing (underpacing: apply magnet) or undersensing (treat reversible causes, cardio consult).

Cardiomatics
OCTOBER 10, 2022
Modern cardiology is currently facing many challenges. According to WHO , cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, it is crucial to provide better diagnostics and treatment to cardiac patients. One country that is currently struggling to reduce the number of patients with heart diseases is the United Kingdom. What are the obstacles causing this, and how can they be overcome?
Incidence, predictors and clinical implications of new renal impairment following percutaneous coronary intervention
Open Heart
OCTOBER 11, 2022
Background Renal impairment post-percutaneous coronary intervention (post-PCI) is a well-described adverse effect following the administration of contrast media. Within a large cohort of registry patients, we aimed to explore the incidence, predictors and clinical outcomes of renal impairment post-PCI. Methods The Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry is an Australian state-based clinical quality registry focusing on collecting data from all PCI capable centres.
