Background: Prediabetes (pDM) has recently drawn attention for being associated with poor outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to analyze the incidence and odds of type 1 MI admissions, and outcomes using a nationally representative sample.
Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2018) to identify T1MI-related hospit...
Background: Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction with the resultant cardiomyopathy carries a high risk of mortality. We aimed to study the risk factors of cardiac arrest (CA) in Sepsis-related hospitalizations (SRH).
Methods: We identified SRHs using the National Inpatient Sample (2018) and ICD10 codes to categorized them into with vs without CA....
BACKGROUND: Type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) occurs due to a mismatch in the myocardial oxygen demand or supply and can occur in patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) with concomitant cardiac complications. Contemporary data for burden, predictors and outcomes of type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) in Acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) patien...
Male genital injuries, demand prompt management to prevent long-term sexual and psychological damage. Injuries to the scrotum and contents may produce impaired fertility.We report our experience in diagnosing and managing a case of a foreign body in the scrotum following a boat engine blast accident. This case report highlights the need for a good...
PURPOSE: Type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) occurs due to a mismatch in the myocardial oxygen demand or supply and can occur in patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) with concomitant cardiac complications. Contemporary data for burden, predictors and outcomes of type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) in Acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) patients...
Rationale
Sarcoidosis with cardiac involvement can be associated with serious life-threatening arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) have been used for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Post-ICD placement complications have been...
Background
Breast cancer accounts for up to 30% of cancer cases in women in the US. Diabetes mellitus has been recognized as a risk factor for breast cancer. Some studies have suggested that prediabetes may also be associated with breast cancer whereas other studies have shown no or an inverse association; thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to asse...
Rationale : An estimated 5% of patients with sarcoidosis develop cardiac involvement with associated complications, including life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden death. Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) have been used for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Post-ICD placement compl...
Background:
Frailty is a complex syndrome that increases with age and predisposes older adults to adverse outcomes, including mortality. Statins are proven to lower the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but there is limited data on their survival benefit in frail older people. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether sta...
Background:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic have had a lasting impact on the care of cancer patients. The impact on patients with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies remains incompletely understood. We aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on mortality, length of stay (LOS), a...

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a lasting impact on the care of cancer patients. Multiple studies have shown that individuals with cancer are at high risk of serious complications in the setting of COVID-19 infection, but the impact in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies remain incompletely understood. We...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transitory stress-related cardiomyopathy characterized by acute but reversible left ventricular failure. The disease most commonly affects postmenopausal women following a traumatic experience, often presenting as an acute myocardial infarction (MI), and its prevalence is increasing globally. Cardiovascular events such...
Background: Considering a paucity of pooled data on the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on long-term cardiac outcomes in individuals with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy(HOCM), we conducted this systematic review.
Methods: PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE and Google Scholar were used to screen studies reporting Mortality/Major Adverse Cardiac Even...
Background: Contemporary literature lacks data on the impact of climatic variations on the etiopathogenesis and outcomes of Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS)-related hospitalization in the U.S.
Methods: Seasonal variation was identified based on meteorological classification of the northern hemisphere Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter using data from the Nati...
Background: There is a scarcity of large-scale data on race, sex, and economic status-based disparities in trends of subsequent/recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) in elderly individuals who have had a previous MI.
Methods: National Inpatient Sample databases (2016-2019, ICD10 codes) were queried to identify elderly (≥65 years) patients with prior...
Background: Considering a paucity of pooled data on the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on long-term cardiac outcomes in individuals with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy(HOCM), we conducted this systematic review. || Methods: PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE and Google Scholar were used to screen studies reporting Mortality/Major Adverse Cardiac E...
Background: Contemporary literature lacks data on the impact of climatic variations on the and outcomes of Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) related hospitalization in the U.S. || Methods: Seasonal variation was identified based on meteorological classification of the northern hemisphere Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter using data from the National Inpatient...
BACKGROUND: Hypercoagulable state is a well-known complication of COVID-19. We aim to review the literature on cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI), a rare though severe complication of COVID-19. || METHODS: Literature search was performed for case reports of simultaneous strokes and myocardial infarction (MI) with COVID-19 using various databases unti...
BACKGROUND: Considering the limited availability of data on Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) in Asian or Pacific Islander (API) patients, we aimed to determine the predictors of In-Hospital Mortality (IHM) following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in this population, using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, in a national cohort from the United Stat...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of hospitalizations; cardiovascular comorbidities or complications of sepsis can lead to respiratory intubation (RI). We aimed to assess the burden, impact, and predictors for RI in sepsis with comorbid HFpEF (SHFpEF) admissions in this national analysis. || METHODS: We used the National Inpatien...
