Mechanical Circulatory Support During Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catheter ablation is an established therapy for ventricular tachycardia (VT); however, hemodynamic instability frequently limits procedural mapping and success. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices are increasingly used to maintain end‐organ perfusion during VT ablation, yet their impact on clinical outcomes remains ...

Outcomes of Hospitalizations for Cardiogenic Shock at Left Ventricular Assist Device Versus Non–Left Ventricular Assist Device Centers

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, many US hospitals have formed multidisciplinary shock teams capable of rapid diagnosis and triage. Because of preexisting collaborative

Invasive Assessment of Right Ventricular Dysfunction Predicts Periprocedural Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Unplanned Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Displays bar graphs showing outcome rates stratified by clinical and hemodynamic variables. Asterisks (*) denote statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05). “NS” indicates non‐significant comparisons. Percentages are shown above each bar. The top panel corresponds to acute kidney injury (blue bars), and the bottom panel corresponds to acute ...

Impact of socioeconomic factors on patient desire for LVAD therapy

, 2018
Purpose: While increased heart failure (HF) severity and poor quality of life (QOL) have been associated with the decision to receive a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), we examined if socioeconomic factors were associated with patient willingness ...

Impacts of Hemodynamic Support on Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data on the efficacy of hemodynamic support (HS) for protecting ventricular arrhythmia (VA) ablation in high‐risk heart failure (HF) patients with an impaired left ventricular function and its impact on mortality is limited. Objectives This study aimed to assess procedural efficacy, related complications, VA‐free survival, and ...

Association between blood pressure levels and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort analysis

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In this retrospective cohort analysis, systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg (vs <130) significantly increased all‐cause, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and diabetes mortality, whereas diastolic pressure 80–90 mmHg (vs <80) was associated with lower all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Percutaneous Intervention of LVAD Outflow Graft Obstruction and Thrombosis

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Left ventricular assist devices serve as a salvage therapy for patients with advanced heart failure. Complications such as thrombosis and obstruction can lead to acute device malfunction, posing significant clinical risks. A multidisciplinary approach is

Association Between Sleep Quality and Oxidative Stress in Postoperative Cardiovascular Patients—A Pilot Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
In 15 postoperative cardiac surgery patients, venous reactive oxygen species (ROS) measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) over 48 h showed no consistent circadian pattern. Higher ROS was associated with lower subjective sleep efficiency and more nocturnal awakenings, but not with other sleep measures.
