Are patients with longer emergency department wait times less likely to consent to research?
(Acad Emerg Med, 2012-04)OBJECTIVES: There are unique challenges to enrolling patients in emergency department (ED) clinical research studies, including the time-sensitive nature of emergency conditions, the acute care environment, and the lack ... -
Evaluation of T-Wave Morphology in Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block and Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome.
(The Journal of emergency medicine, 2016-09)T-wave morphology in the setting of left bundle branch block (LBBB) has been proposed as an indicator of myocardial ischemia.We sought to identify T-wave morphology findings in patients with LBBB that predict non-ST-segment ... -
Left ventricular dysfunction screening in hypertensive patients with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and electrocardiogram.
(Am J Emerg Med, 2012-01)OBJECTIVE: Early recognition of left ventricular hypertrophy is important because antihypertensive treatment decreases morbidity and mortality. The ideal screening method for left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive ... -
Myocardial Ischemia on Exercise Stress Echocardiography Testing Is Not Associated with Changes in Troponin T Concentrations
(The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, 2017)Background: Some posit that any amount of myocardial ischemia can be detected by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays. We hypothesized that patients with myocardial ischemia induced by exercise stress would have significantly ... -
Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score in an observation unit setting.
(Crit Pathw Cardiol, 2013-09)OBJECTIVE: The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score is a validated tool for risk stratification of acute coronary syndrome. We hypothesized that the TIMI risk score would be able to risk stratify patients in ... -
Utility of observation units for young emergency department chest pain patients.
(Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2013-02)BACKGROUND: Determining which patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) require further work-up for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can be difficult. The utility of routine observation for cardiac testing in low-risk ...
