Background Short-term improvements in quality of life (QOL) have been reported in adult congenital heartdisease patients with systemic right ventricle (sRV) failure after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. The TAAQOL was taken at structured outpatient follow-up moments after 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of treatment.
Earlier research showed that primary care clinicians using AI-ECG tools identified more unknown cases of a weak heart pump, also called low ejection fraction, than without AI. New study findings suggest that this type of screening is also cost-effective in the long term, especially in outpatient settings.
Objective This study aimed to explore clinicians’ perspectives of ambulatory care in adult congenital heartdisease (ACHD). Methods Semistructured interviews were carried out remotely (Zoom) with a range of physicians providing ambulatory care to patients with ACHD across the UK.
Background/Introduction:Adults with congenital heartdisease have higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide, compared to those without congenital heartdisease. 49%, ( n = 44) were either seen in clinic by the psychologists and 22%, (n=20) followed up with an outpatient visit.
The Intrepid TMVR is a heart valve that is designed to help alleviate mitral regurgitation so that blood can flow through the heart in the intended direction,” said Matthew Saybolt , M.D., FACC, principal site investigator and medical director, Structural HeartDisease Program, Jersey Shore University Medical Center. “It

Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundTransgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals and long‐term survivors with adult congenital heartdisease (ACHD) are both growing populations with specialized needs. Thirty‐three TGD individuals with ACHD were identified, 21 with a history of GAHT/S.
Electronic health records provided data, including HDP for each birth, longitudinal outpatient clinical BP measurements, International Classification of Diseases codes, and medication use to identify new-onset hypertension from 2 months through 14 years post-delivery (20092023).
Methods We used the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, merged with the Inpatient Registry and Outpatient Registry to identify patients with OHCA from 2010 to 2020 and to collect all their comorbidities as well as discharge diagnoses (among those admitted to hospital). Previous AMI was prevalent in 14.8% of men and 10.9%
ConclusionsWe identified substantial variation in the use of outpatient cardiac imaging related to physician and site factors. Generalized linear mixed‐effects models estimated the association of payment model (including the ability to bill to interpret imaging tests) and the use of cardiac imaging and quantified variation in cardiac imaging.
The most prevalent diagnosis post-CMR in our cohort was ischaemic heartdisease, including ischaemic cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease. In conclusion, CMR is vital for the management of cardiology inpatients, having an impact that is at least as significant as in the management of outpatients.
Over the 12‐month period, a total of 639 patients were screened, of which 36 (5.6%) had a new clinically significant abnormal finding.ConclusionsThe American Indian Structural HeartDisease Partnership model exhibited several promising strategies to improve access to screening echocardiography for American Indian populations.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundThe complexity of congenital heartdisease has been primarily stratified on the basis of surgical technical difficulty, specific diagnoses, and associated outcomes. had underlying congenital heartdisease; 44.8% were outpatient; 34.5%
In this study, the authors assessed the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of a 5G cellular network and robotic arm-based remote echocardiographic system in an outpatient clinic based 20 kilometres away from Zhongshan Hospital. A total of 51 patients were enrolled from the outpatient cardiology clinic.
For now, though, many challenges remain, and few AI tools have been proven to improve care, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in Circulation , the Association’s flagship, peer-reviewed journal. In some cases, wearable devices may help reduce disparities in care and may help improve wellness.
“Cholesterol does not cause heartdisease.“ “ “Statins do not prevent heart attacks.” In the middle of this hurricane of noise are people who just want to know what to do so they don’t have a heart attack at a young age. 40 year old male with a family history of heartdisease.
The P wave is positive in lead aVL of ECG #3, which means it is a low atrial (or probably coronary sinus) rhythm — which of itself is not necessarily “abnormal” in a child if there is no other sign of underlying heartdisease. He was discharged and schedule for an outpatient echo which has not been done yet. What is it?
Medical history: History of Ischemic HeartDisease History of Congestive Heart Failure Diabetes Mellitus requiring treatment with insulin Pre-operative serum creatinine >2 mg/dL He had this ECG recorded: What do you think? This patient presented with complications of his dialysis fistula.
Materials and methods The national register on congenital heartdiseases (CHDs) was searched for patients with CAS, simple or associated with other CHD and an index commissurotomy with later data from follow-up. Our data strengthen the arguments for close outpatient follow-up among patients with a previous commissurotomy.
Background:Endothelial function is closely associated with cardiovascular health among individuals being treated for heartdisease. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142963-A4142963, November 12, 2024. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) consists of repeated inspirations against a resistance on a handheld device.
As evidence has mounted pointing to their benefits in reducing heart failure and other forms of heartdisease, researchers have sought to determine whether these drugs could help to prevent heart failure even in people without diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Referral process and challenges When patients need cardiac imaging but lack access to an in-house facility, they are often referred to hospitals or outpatient centers. A clearer view of the arterial system enables healthcare professionals to identify and address issues more effectively, contributing to improved patient outcomes.

to 5.12; p=0.049), chronic kidney disease (HR 1.89; 95% CI 1.03 to 3.49; p=0.041) as well as severe valvular heartdisease (HR 3.08; 95% CI 1.68 Arterial hypertension (HR 2.27; 95% CI 1.00 to 5.64; p<0.001) were independent predictors of death or emergency hospitalisation. 95% CI 3.8
million deaths attributable to stroke worldwide and about half of those were ischemic stroke, according to the most recent data in the 2024 HeartDisease and Stroke Statistics: A Report of U.S. and Global Data From the American Heart Association. In 2021, there were 7.44 In the U.S.,
CAD is the most common form of heartdisease and remains the leading cause of death for men and women in the US, with 371,506 deaths reported in 2022 [1]. We are committed to growing the manufacturing footprint for Flyrcado to drive access for cardiac PET-enabled imaging centers throughout the US. National Center for Health Statistics.
Background Higher resting heart rate has been described as a risk factor for adverse outcome in healthy individuals and cardiovascular patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate resting heart rate as risk factor in adult congenital heartdisease (ACHD). Standard 12-lead ECGs were obtained in rest.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and valvular heartdisease (VHD) are the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Due to common pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors, AMI and VHD often coexist.
Written by Willy Frick A middle aged man presented for elective outpatient surgery. To Emphasize: For those in search of "the quick answer" — today's middle-aged man should not be approved for an outpatient elective surgical procedure without further evaluation. The following ECG was obtained in the preoperative area.
