Relief and Recurrence of Congestion During and After Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure: Insights From Diuretic Optimization Strategy Evaluation in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (DOSE-AHF) and Cardiorenal Rescue Study in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (CARESS-HF).
(Circ Heart Fail, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: Congestion is the most frequent cause for hospitalization in acute decompensated
heart failure. Although decongestion is a major goal of acute therapy, it is unclear
how the clinical components of congestion ...
Provoked exercise desaturation in patent foramen ovale and impact of percutaneous closure.
(JACC Cardiovasc Interv, 2012-04)
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to assess the prevalence of provoked exercise
desaturation (PED) in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) referred for cardiovascular
evaluation and to evaluate the impact of PFO closure. ...
Perception Versus Actual Performance in Timely Tissue Plasminogen Activation Administration in the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-07-22)
BACKGROUND: Timely thrombolytic therapy can improve stroke outcomes. Nevertheless,
the ability of US hospitals to meet guidelines for intravenous tissue plasminogen
activator (tPA) remains suboptimal. What is unclear is ...
Pulmonary hypertension and elevated transpulmonary gradient in patients with mitral stenosis.
(J Heart Valve Dis, 2010-11)
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates mitral
stenosis, with a subset of these patients exhibiting pressures well in excess of their
mitral valve hemodynamics. The prevalence of this ...
Early adoption of dabigatran and its dosing in US patients with atrial fibrillation: results from the outcomes registry for better informed treatment of atrial fibrillation.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-11-25)
BACKGROUND: Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant approved for thromboprophylaxis
in atrial fibrillation. Adoption patterns of this new agent in community practice
are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied patterns ...
Comparison of long-term postoperative sequelae in patients with tetralogy of Fallot versus isolated pulmonic stenosis.
(Am J Cardiol, 2014-07-15)
Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after complete repair and pulmonic stenosis
(PS) after surgical valvotomy often develop significant pulmonic regurgitation (PR)
that eventually requires valve replacement. Although ...
Relationship Between Cancer and Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-07-06)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease and cancer increasingly coexist, yet relationships
between cancer and long-term cardiovascular outcomes post-percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) are not well studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: ...
Early clopidogrel versus prasugrel use among contemporary STEMI and NSTEMI patients in the US: insights from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2014-04-14)
BACKGROUND: P2Y12 antagonist therapy improves outcomes in acute myocardial infarction
(MI) patients. Novel agents in this class are now available in the US. We studied
the introduction of prasugrel into contemporary MI practice ...
Sex-based differences in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction: a report from TRANSLATE-ACS.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2014-02-07)
BACKGROUND: Data regarding sex-based outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) for myocardial infarction are mixed. We sought to examine whether sex differences
in outcomes exist in contemporary practice. METHODS ...
Absence of July Phenomenon in Acute Ischemic Stroke Care Quality and Outcomes.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018-01-31)
BACKGROUND:Lower care quality and an increase in adverse outcomes as a result of new
medical trainees is a concept well rooted in popular belief, termed the "July phenomenon."
Whether this phenomenon occurs in acute ischemic ...
