Pulse pressure and prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Neeraj Shah, Min Qian, Marco R. Di Tullio, Susan Graham, more

European Journal of Clinical Investigation > 49 > 6 > n/a - n/a

Background A high pulse pressure (PP) is associated with adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes; however, this relationship may be reversed in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). Methods Patients from the WARCEF trial with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% were included. PP was divided into tertiles: ≤42, 42‐54 and >54 mm Hg. Age and ejection fraction adjusted...

Gender-Specific Differences for Risk of Disability and Death in Atrial Fibrillation-Related Stroke

Ryan C. Martin, W. Scott Burgin, Matthew B. Schabath, Bonnie Kirby, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2017 > 119 > 2 > 256-261

In the latest American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Rhythm Society atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines, CHA₂DS₂-VASc replaced the CHADS₂ stroke risk assessment to determine prophylactic anticoagulation, reflecting female gender's association with stroke incidence in AF. However, little investigation has been pursued of potential risk factors associated with worsened stroke...

CHA₂DS₂‐VASc score and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and sinus rhythm

Siqin Ye, Min Qian, Bo Zhao, Richard Buchsbaum, more

European Journal of Heart Failure > 18 > 10 > 1261 - 1266

AimsThe aim of this study was to determine whether the CHA₂DS₂‐VASc score can predict adverse outcomes such as death, ischaemic stroke, and major haemorrhage, in patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm. Methods and resultsCHA₂DS₂‐VASc scores were calculated for 1101 patients randomized to warfarin and 1123 patients randomized to aspirin. Adverse outcomes were defined as death or ischaemic...

The first prognostic model for stroke and death in patients with systolic heart failure

Ronald S. Freudenberger, Bin Cheng, Douglas L. Mann, John L.P. Thompson, more

Journal of Cardiology > 2016 > 68 > 2 > 100-103

Patients with systolic heart failure (HF) are at increased risk of both ischemic stroke and death. Currently, no risk scores are available to identify HF patients at high risk of stroke or death. The Warfarin vs. Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction (WARCEF) trial studied 2305 HF patients, in sinus rhythm, followed for up to 6 years (3.5±1.5 years). This trial showed no overall difference...

Advanced Echocardiographic Techniques in Detection of Cardiotoxicity

Aarti A. Patel, Arthur J. Labovitz

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine > 2016 > 18 > 4 > 1-13

Opinion statement As advancements are made in cancer treatment, there is an increasing recognition of the cardiotoxic potential of chemotherapies and the need to monitor for the development of cardiac dysfunction in survivors. Echocardiography is the cornerstone of cardiac imaging and provides a feasible and non-invasive method to assess cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer. In recent years,...

Bleeding Risk and Antithrombotic Strategy in Patients With Sinus Rhythm and Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Treated With Warfarin or Aspirin

Siqin Ye, Bin Cheng, Gregory Y.H. Lip, Richard Buchsbaum, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2015 > 116 > 6 > 904-912

We sought to assess the performance of existing bleeding risk scores, such as the Hypertension, Abnormal Renal/Liver Function, Stroke, Bleeding History or Predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol Concomitantly (HAS-BLED) score or the Outpatient Bleeding Risk Index (OBRI), in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in sinus rhythm (SR) treated with warfarin or aspirin...

Diagnosis in a Heart Beat, or Focused Echocardiography: How Should it be Used in the Emergency Room?

Olga Kuteyeva, Arthur J. Labovitz

Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports > 2012 > 5 > 6 > 420-431

Over the last few decades, ultrasound underwent rapid technological development and equipment miniaturization that lead to its wide spread use in virtually all spheres of patient care, including emergency medicine. In the specific scenarios, use of focused echocardiography by emergency department physicians may assist with triage, expedite the diagnostic assessment of the patient, facilitate emergent...

Focused Cardiac Ultrasound in the Emergent Setting: A Consensus Statement of the American Society of Echocardiography and American College of Emergency Physicians

Arthur J. Labovitz, Vicki E. Noble, Michelle Bierig, Steven A. Goldstein, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2010 > 23 > 12 > 1225-1230

The use of ultrasound has developed over the last 50 years into an indispensable first-line test for the cardiac evaluation of symptomatic patients. The technologic miniaturization and improvement in transducer technology, as well as the implementation of educational curriculum changes in residency training programs and specialty practice, have facilitated the integration of focused cardiac ultrasound...

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2009 > 53 > 1 > 32-38

The authors sought to define the risks versus benefits of ultrasound contrast agents in patients undergoing stress echocardiography.The Food and Drug Administration recently placed a “black box” warning on the ultrasound contrast agents Definity (Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging, Billerica, Massachusetts) and Optison (GE Healthcare, Princeton, New Jersey) after their use was temporally related...

Serial changes in systolic and diastolic echocardiographic indices as predictors of outcome in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction

S. Michelle Bierig, Amanda Ryan, Ali Ziaee, Larry Kociolek, more

European Journal of Echocardiography > 2007 > 8 > 5 > 369-374

Echocardiographic estimation of left ventricular ejection fraction aids in predicting adverse outcomes in coronary artery disease. However, in patients with impaired left ventricular function, further risk stratification is difficult.A 2year retrospective review was performed to identify patients with ejection fraction ≤30%. Echocardiographic measures of systolic and diastolic function were independently...

Improved Visualization of Aortic Intima-media Thickening with the Use of Perflutren Lipid Microspheres

S. Michelle Bierig, Alan Maniet, Steven C. Herrmann, Jacob G. Hoover, more

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography > 2005 > 18 > 12 > 1329-1334

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been used to diagnose atherosclerotic disease for patients who present with systemic embolic events. The primary aim of this study was to assess the supplemental value of echocardiographic contrast to standard TEE in identifying the aortic intima-medial thickness. An aorta phantom was used to validate the accuracy of border delineation with and without...

Usefulness of Electron Beam Computed Tomography for Diagnosis of an Anomalous Origin of a Coronary Artery from the Opposite Sinus

Esat Memisoglu, Dieter Ropers, Gultekin Hobikoglu, M. Savas Tepe, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2005 > 96 > 10 > 1452-1455

The ectopic origination of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus is a rare condition, often discovered as an incidental finding during invasive catheter angiography performed for the evaluation of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Although most patients lack hemodynamic significance, a small fraction of these anomalies have been associated with sudden cardiac death and ischemic complications...
