Early outpatient follow‐up, hospital‐free survival, and health‐related quality of life in older adults after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Current evidence regarding the benefits of early outpatient follow‐up for older adults after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is conflicting, and prior studies may have been impacted by confounding by indication by not accounting for geriatric vulnerabilities. We used data from a unique nationwide cohort of older adults hospitalized with AMI,

Instrumentation for Computerized Heart Catheterization

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1971
An instrumentation scheme for performing computerized heart catheterization has been developed. Objectives in the development were 1) low cost, 2) stability, 3) reliability, and 4) simplicity of operation. These objectives were achieved by using integrated-circuit operational-amplifier techniques coupled with simplified noninteractive controls.
