Determining predictors of underlying etiology and clinical deterioration in patients with physiologic instability in the emergency department [PDF]

, 2013
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityShock is a critical state defined by inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues. It is well known in the critical care community that early diagnosis and treatment of shock are crucial to improving patient outcomes. However, in

Assessment of pulmonary edema: principles and practice [PDF]

, 2018
Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin, such as heart failure or excessive fluid administration, and those related to ...

Prophylactic IABP Use in Protected PCI Reduces Infarction Size and Leads to More Complete Revascularization in Comparison to Rescue IAPB Use

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is little data questioning the timing of intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in non‐cardiogenic shock patients undergoing high‐risk percutaneous procedures. Aims We compared prophylactic IABP (P‐IABP) implantation to an emergent, unplanned rescue use (R‐IABP) in high‐risk PCI. Methods Among 300 IAPB patients who were

Enhanced Hemocompatibility via Bivalirudin and Bicarbonate as Alternative to Heparin in a Catheter‐Based Axial‐Flow System

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiovascular therapeutic devices typically require systemic heparin due to underlying thrombotic risk. The Impella axial flow system further relies on internal perfusion with either a heparin‐containing or sodium bicarbonate purge solution during operation.

Clinical benefit of adenosine as an adjunct to reperfusion in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Adenosine administered as an adjunct to reperfusion can reduce coronary no-reflow and limit myocardial infarct (MI) size in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Whether adjunctive adenosine therapy can improve clinical

Electrocardiographic R Wave Peak Time: Correlation With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease and Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electrocardiographic parameters have emerged as valuable noninvasive markers for risk stratification in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aims This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between R wave peak time (RWPT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity, and to assess its prognostic value for in‐hospital major adverse cardiac ...

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

The Impact of Vascular Complications on Survival of Patients on Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: There are various factors that can influence the survival of patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Vascular complications from femoral cannulation are common and are potentially serious.
