Sex Differences In Cardiac Arrest Survivors Who Receive Therapeutic Hypothermia, Marna Greenberg, Amy Ahnert, Nainesh Patel, Courtney Bennett, Nicole Elliott, Mark Lundquist, Andrew Miller, Ellina Feiner, Anita Kurt, Bernadette Gl-Porter, Mercedes Rios-Scott, David Burmeister

Marna R Greenberg DO, MPH, FACEP

OBJECTIVE: Sex differences have not been well defined for patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We aimed to determine sex differences in mortality and Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scores at discharge among those receiving TH. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used data abstracted from an "ICE alert" database, an institutional protocol expediting mild TH for postarrest patients. Quality assurance variables (such as age, time to TH, CPC scores, and mortality) were reviewed and compared by sex. χ(2) Test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used. Stepwise logistic regression was used to assess the association between mortality and sex, while controlling for …

Angiographic Recognition Of Ostial Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis: Case Report., R M Macmillan, Bruce Feldman, V Maranhao Mar 2014

Angiographic Recognition Of Ostial Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis: Case Report., R M Macmillan, Bruce Feldman, V Maranhao

Bruce A. Feldman DO

Ostial left main coronary stenosis has a poor prognosis and increased mortality rate with coronary arteriography. Due to its anatomic location, visualization of the stenosis may be difficult. A high index of suspicion based upon only a few signs should prompt the physician to perform certain maneuvers to obtain the correct diagnosis. Four illustrative cases are presented and discussed.

Addressing The Controversy Of Rate-Versus-Rhythm Control In Atrial Fibrillation, Tahmeed Contractor, Vadim Levin, Ravi Desai, Francis E Marchlinski Feb 2014

Addressing The Controversy Of Rate-Versus-Rhythm Control In Atrial Fibrillation, Tahmeed Contractor, Vadim Levin, Ravi Desai, Francis E Marchlinski

Vadim A Levin MD

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and significantly increases patient risk of stroke, cardiomyopathy, and mortality. Rate versus rhythm control as the "best" treatment strategy remains an issue of considerable, ongoing debate. A multitude of clinical trials have compared the 2 strategies and have not shown any benefit of one approach over the other. However, the trials were conducted in specific subgroups of patients and demonstrated low success rates with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy and a high incidence of adverse AAD effects. Sub-analyses of the trials have confirmed that successful rhythm control with sinus rhythm restoration is …
