Background: Transcatheter tricuspid valve procedures (TTVP) are used to manage tricuspid regurgitation, however these procedures are less common than other transcatheter valve procedures. Limited literature on TTVP exists, especially with regards to predictors of major outcomes. Atrial fibrillation (afib) is associated with increased mortality, stroke, cardiogenic shock, need for permanent pacemaker, AKI, major bleeding in […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Most medical centers have limited ICU beds to directly admit high acuity patients from the emergency department. This is compounded by the trend towards increased medical acuity. Thus, rising numbers of patients with higher acuity are being admitted to general medical units and later requiring transfer to ICU. These patients have higher in-hospital mortality […]

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 […]
