Background: The treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and comorbid acute kidney injury (AKI) can be quite challenging. Many times the etiology of AKI in this setting is multifactorial and may involve cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Arterial underfilling, sympathetic nervous system upregulation, and systemic venous congestion contribute to impaired glomerular filtration rate in ADHF patients. […]

Background: The diagnosis of sepsis is often associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. When it occurs in patients with Heart failure (HF), those rates increase dramatically. This study focuses on the differences in the outcomes in septic patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) versus patients with Heart Failure with reduced […]

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a recognized risk factor for incident acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), and no such documented association with pneumonia. However, the influence of hyperlipidemia on long-term mortality after AMI, HF, or pneumonia has not yet been fully understood. The objectives are to estimate the effect of hyperlipidemia and […]

Background: We have presented our experience with a novel percutaneous approach for axillary artery implant of intra-aortic balloon pumps. The axillary approach permits up-right posture and ambulation, but such enhanced mobility may predispose to higher risk of IABP malposition with unique complications. We present a few complications here. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Research on post-discharge outpatient care often focuses on single types of encounters, such as primary care in-person appointments or primary care phone calls. However, patients interact with the healthcare system following discharge using a range of communication methods. This study seeks to examine the role of different types of post-discharge encounters on unplanned hospital […]
