Objectives
The broad objectives of this multicenter and multidisciplinary observational cohort study are to investigate patient, provider, and system-related factors that are associated with the quality and safety of initial management for suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are defined as coronary lesions with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade flow of 0 and present for more than 3 months. CTO is commonly recognized as the toughest lesion subset to be treated by percutaneous coronary interventions. With the remarkable
Introduction At present several treadmill scores have been proposed as means for improving the diagnostic accuracy of the exercise treadmill test (ETT) and to predict future risk of cardiac events (Berman et al., 1978 & Do et al., 1997). Although a large number of noninvasive stress testing
Modern cardiac troponin T (cTnT) tests are highly sensitive in diagnosing AMI and myocardial damage. Atrial fibrillation and many non-cardiac conditions and even strenuous exercise are associated with elevated cTnT levels which are problematic to clinicians and may lead to redundant use of
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND THE BENEFIT OF BYPASSES
Despite considerable advances in medicine, cardiovascular diseases remain the number one cause of death globally. In industrialized countries, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death, consequence of myocardial infarction
Thoracic aortic aneurysm, while relatively rare, is a potentially lethal disorder with a poor long-term prognosis if not treated. As the aortic diameter increases, wall tension becomes higher, leading to further expansion of the aneurysm. Consequently, this disease process is a "progressive and self
Introduction In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) there is a rate of vascular complications of 0.8% to 5.5% (1). Albeit femoral sheaths sizes were reduced, arterial compression and long-term dressing after PCI still bear tremendous discomfort and groin pain for the
Participants are recruited from the specialized sleep outpatient facilities of the Río Hortega University Hospital from Valladolid (Spain). All patients are referred from primary care due to moderate-to-high clinical suspicion of suffering from sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). The final
Rationale:
The incidence of diabetes is rising constantly. According to the WHO projections, the population of diabetics will double by 2025. In France, the current population of diabetics is estimated at 2.5 millions persons. The cause of death in diabetics involves a cardiovascular condition in
Amyloidosis is a multi-organ syndrome, which usually presents as a restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a subtype of amyloidosis, further subdivided into familial type and senile type. Its pathophysiology consists primarily of abnormal precipitation of transthyretin -
The cardiogoniometry vectorcardiography is a procedure that allows a stress-free and non-invasive diagnosis of myocardial ischemia: five thoracic electrodes as well as the heart flow in orthogonal summation vectors are recorded by a computer-assisted method in three dimensions.
Dementia is a condition of declining mental abilities, especially memory. Dementia can occur at any age but becomes more frequent with age, with a prevalence of 5%-10% in people over 65 and 20% in people over 80. Dementia affects the rate of information processing, short term memory is affected
Despite spending $12 billion annually on the emergency evaluation of chest pain in the US, only 15% of admitted patients have a cardiac cause of their presenting symptoms. Observation units (OU) improve resource utilization, are endorsed by the ACC/AHA guidelines, but have seen limited
This is a prospective clinical study designed to procure blood samples from patients who present to the Emergency Department with suspected AAD.
Subjects enrolled in this study will sign and informed consent and have 3 blood samples drawn at different time points during their emergency department
