Purpose
Metabolic syndrome is a set of metabolic risk factors associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of a lifestyle modification program (Heart WATCH) geared toward reducing development of chronic disease in women deemed at risk for metabolic syndrome, prediabetes and/or cardiovascular disease.
Methods
Our institution’s Heart WATCH program consists of screening sessions with a multidisciplinary team (physician/nurse, nutritionist and psychologist), a minimum of three visits with a nurse practitioner and weekly follow-up phone calls for a 14-week period. Sociodemographic variables were obtained at initial visit. Biometric testing indices …

Electrocardiographic abnormalities have been described in the setting of acute rejection following orthotopic cardiac transplantation. The following is a brief commentary related to an interesting case report by Goldraich et al. which was recently published in the VAD Journal.

There is limited clinical experience with left ventricular assist device therapy in patients with prosthetic mitral valves. We present a case of successful left ventricular assist device support in a patient with previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.

Old School Still Has Merit: Ecg As A Marker Of Cardiac Recovery At Weaning From Mechanical Circulatory Support, Livia Adams Goldraich, Vivek Rao, Fillio Billia, Heather Joan Ross
The VAD Journal
In a case of acute cardiac allograft failure requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS), serial electrocardiograms (ECG) denoted the degree of myocardial inflammation and damage caused by severe rejection and subsequent recovery. This case highlights the relevance of the ECG during temporary MCS and suggests that resolution of acute electrocardiographic abnormalities might be a marker of myocardial recovery to help guide appropriate timing for weaning from MCS in the setting of acute graft failure.

Purpose
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events, but some studies suggest higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with better outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We sought to determine the effect of body surface area (BSA) on adverse events after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI and how this relates to the reported obesity paradox theory.
Methods
We analyzed a prospective registry of patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI at a tertiary care hospital from 2003 to 2009. Post-PCI complications and 1-year all-cause mortality were compared across BSA quartiles. Relationship with 1-year …

Purpose
Lead revisions have increased over the last decade. Patients who do not undergo lead extraction face an increased lead burden. Consequences of increased lead burden have not been fully defined. We sought to characterize the complication rate and outcomes in patients with sterile redundant leads.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 242 consecutive patients [mean age 74 ± 12 years; 66.9% male] who underwent lead revision that resulted in an abandoned lead from January 2005 to June 2010. Patients were placed in a cohort based on number of leads after last recorded procedure (Group A: ≤2 [n=58]; Group B: 3-4 [n=168]; …
