Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

We report the first published case of acute pancreatitis secondary to disseminated nocardiosis in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipient on chronic immunosuppression for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Nocardiosis in the HSCT population is relatively rare, and has not yet been described in haploidentical HSCT recipients. Our patient is a 28-year-old male with a history of haploidentical HSCT and GVHD of the skin and lung who was admitted to the hospital with acute pancreatitis. The workup for the etiology of his pancreatitis was initially unrevealing. He subsequently developed worsening sepsis and respiratory failure despite broad spectrum antimicrobials. After multiple bronchoscopies …

Department of Medicine

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported in 7-19% patients with acute ST- Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). There is

a paucity of data on the impact of AF on outcomes in patients with acute STEMI.

Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for years 2003- 2013 to identify all patients >=18 years of age

admitted with acute STEMI.

Results: Of the total 2,632,447 STEMI hospitalizations, AF was documented in 339,987 (12.9%) patients. At baseline, patients with

AF were older (mean 74 vs 63 years, p

Hypertension, renal failure, diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure were all more prevalent …

The last few decades have seen substantial growth in the populations of competitive athletes and highly active people (CAHAP). Although vigorous physical exercise is an effective way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, CAHAP remain susceptible to inherited and acquired CV disease, and may be most at risk for adverse CV outcomes during intense physical activity. Traditionally, multidisciplinary teams comprising athletic trainers, physical therapists, primary care sports medicine physicians, and orthopedic surgeons have provided clinical care for CAHAP. However, there is increasing recognition that a care team including qualified CV specialists optimizes care delivery for CAHAP. In recognition …

Department of Medicine

Background

The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains in dispute, particularly after 12 months. The DAPT Score was developed from the DAPT trial to identify pts who may benefit the most from extended therapy. We sought to assess the performance of the DAPT risk score in the all-comers Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy with Drug-Eluting Stents (ADAPT-DES) registry, and to test the utility of additional predictors of events on its performance.

Methods

Patients free from ischemic or hemorrhagic events after 1 year of DAPT after successful DES implantation were analyzed. The DAPT score …

Department of Medicine

Background

Small vessel diameter and residual high platelet reactivity (HPR) have both been associated with adverse events after PCI. We sought to determine whether a specific interaction exists between HPR and stent diameter in regard to outcomes after PCI.

Methods

We stratified pts in the prospective ADAPT-DES registry who underwent successful single-lesion PCI with DES according to whether or not they received only small diameter stents (diameter ≤2.5 mm). Pts receiving ≤2.5 mm stents were compared to pts receiving a stent with a diameter >2.5 mm using propensity score (PS) adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression. HPR was defined as P2Y12 …
