Background: Patients with cardiac arrest, either with a shockable or non-shockable rhythm, are at high risk of death and neurological impairment. Hypoxic-anoxic brain injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. (1) International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommends moderate therapeutic hypothermia (32°C to 36°C) for patients who achieve return of […]

Background: The role of bedside ultrasound to evaluate traumatic cardiac injury and aortic aneurysm rupture is well established. However, there is a lack of robust data to support the accuracy of use of immediate ultrasonography procedures at the point of care to detect other cardiovascular conditions. Aim of this umbrella meta-analysis was to evaluate a […]

Background: Telemetry is an essential tool for real-time monitoring of the heart rhythm and QRS morphology of a patient. American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association had published their respective practice standards for in-hospital cardiac monitoring for the detection of cardiac arrhythmias. Nonetheless, these recommendations were mostly based on expert opinions which focused almost […]

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disease resulting in a broad range of functional and structural renal and cardiac alterations. Chronic kidney disease is with associated proteinuria, microalbuminuria and hemoglobinuria. Cardiac complications include diastolic heart disease, dysrhythmia and sudden death. In patients with advancing age, cardio-renal dysfunction can have substantial effects on […]

Background: Previous work suggests that hospitals’ teaching status is correlated with readmission rates, cost of care, and mortality. This research has focused on conditions closely tracked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The extent to which hospitals’ teaching status impacts care processes for syncope has not been extensively studied. Methods: We merged […]

Background: Studies addressing the utility of cardiac telemetry monitoring for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia (PNA) is sparse. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 PNA are at higher risk for cardiac complications (1-3), thus many hospitals instituted mandatory cardiac telemetry monitoring for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 PNA. However, there is scant data assessing the utility of cardiac […]

Background: Mitochondrial disease (MD) refers to a group of clinically heterogeneous disorders that result from dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation and subsequent cellular incapability to meet energy demands. Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), myoclonus, epilepsy, ataxia with ragged red fibers (MERRFs), chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia, Kearns–Sayre syndrome, and sensory ataxia neuropathy dysarthria ophthalmoplegia are among […]

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest threats to human health, affecting health and health care delivery systems at both the individual and institutional level. There have been varied reports about how sociodemographic factors affect outcomes of patient with COVID-19 [1] [2] [3]. In this US claims based study, we analysed discharge data […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: There is limited data on the predictors of outcomes in patients who have in-hospital cardiac arrest. This study aims to understand the factors that might affect the survival from the cardiac arrest and survival-to-discharge after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: Institutional review board of the Cleveland Clinic approved the retrospective cross-sectional study for patients who […]

Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is the most common cause of wide complex tachycardia and a potentially fatal cardiac rhythm disorder. Ventricular arrhythmias, including VT, cause approximately 25% of sudden cardiac deaths. Some studies have proposed a dose-response relationship between VT burden and risk of mortality; however, these studies may have been limited by the inclusion […]
