Changes In Electrocardiographic And Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Parameters Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, Elizabeth Seeley, Luai Madanat, Nishaki Mehta
Changes In Electrocardiographic And Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Parameters Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, Elizabeth Seeley, Luai Madanat, Nishaki Mehta

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is known to cause conduction abnormalities leading to the need for permanent pacemaker implantation. However, the impact of TAVR-related conduction abnormalities on cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) parameters in patients with preexisting devices is not known. We sought to investigate and describe changes in EKG and CIED parameters following TAVR in patients with preexisting CIEDs.

Each year, hundreds of patients present to the William Beaumont hospital system with intermediate risk pulmonary embolisms (IRPE) with common symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and hypoxia. Conventional treatments include anticoagulants alone, or a more aggressive approach with systemic thrombolytics which come with a higher risk of major bleeding and death. However, in the last few years, catheter-directed therapies (CDT) have been developed to mechanically remove clots in a minimally invasive fashion. The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of novel CDT at Beaumont Troy and Royal Oak.

Hands-only Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for adolescents in community settings is often limited by training device availability. This pilot study’s objective was to investigate the feasibility, participant knowledge gains, and attitude changes through hands-only CPR training using a pillow for skill development.

INTRODUCTION
TAVR is an alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Procedural volume impacts mortality but little is known of its effect on length of stay (LOS) and readmissions. We sought to examine the impact of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedural volume on trends in LOS and hospital readmission rates from 2012 to 2016.

INTRODUCTION
Testing with fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFRCT) can be used to stratify otherwise indeterminate grade stenoses on cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Long-term clinical outcomes using FFRCT have been reported in stable heart disease but not for acute chest pain (ACP). This study analyzes clinical outcomes in patients with ACP who underwent FFRCT, including the risk of mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and revascularization.

INTRODUCTION
Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) have been shown to be associated with Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) as it is a proinflammatory process. Some DM inflammatory markers may be present in prediabetes (pDM). Yet, the clinical relationship between pDM and MACE has not been well studied. Thus, this study’s primary goal is to see if pDM increases one’s risk for MACE.

INTRODUCTION
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its sequelae in the United States population has led to escalating health care expenditures. To favorably modify cardiovascular outcomes, exercise physiologists have developed varied exercise programs that are associated with mortality reduction, symptom relief, improved exercise tolerance, favorable risk factor modification and improved psychosocial well-being. For patients with significant disability and deconditioning, chair-based exercise may provide an alternative method of achieving the relative cardioprotective benefits of traditional exercise.
Does Aspirin Reduce Risk For Future Cardiovascular Events In Women With Diabetes?, Olivia Hillier, Amna Zeb, Pamela Marcovitz

INTRODUCTION
The use of low dose aspirin (LDA) in primary prevention of cardiovascular events (CVE) is no longer recommended due to lack of benefit in prevention of primary outcome and increased bleeding risks. It’s postulated that LDA could still be of benefit in those with very high vascular risk including diabetes mellitus (DM) as it confers a higher risk for future CVE in women as compared to men. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine if use of low dose ASA is beneficial to lower CVE in women with multiple risk factors.

• Endocarditis is a rare and potentially lethal disease affecting 3 to 10 per 100,000 in the United States, with 40,000 to 50,000 new cases per year. • The major risk factors for development of endocarditis are prosthetic valves, hemodialysis, venous catheters, immunosuppression, and IV drug use. • Fungal endocarditis accounts for 1-10% of all endocarditis cases and has been associated with increased mortality. • Isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis is extremely rare accounting for < 2% of patients with infective endocarditis. • Transthoracic echocardiography is the initial imaging modality of choice and has sensitivity of 50-90%. TEE is 90-100% sensitive.
