BACKGROUND: The incidence of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is increasing. Although life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias have been well-documented in patients with ST elevation MI (STEMI), their incidence and importance in NSTEMI have not been examined in similar detail. We examined the incidence, predictors, and mortality rates of ventricular arrhythmias in a cohort of NSTEMI patients undergoing an early invasive strategy.
METHODS: Consecutive patients admitted with NSTEMI who underwent cardiac catheterization within 48 h of admission were identified by chart review. Presence and type of ventricular arrhythmias and 30-day mortality were recorded. Malignant arrhythmias were defined as sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT, …
Distribution Of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction In Angina Patients With Severe Coronary Artery Disease Not Amenable To Revascularization., Shuchita Gupta, Gregg S. Pressman, D Lynn Morris, Vincent M. Figueredo, M.D.
Distribution Of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction In Angina Patients With Severe Coronary Artery Disease Not Amenable To Revascularization., Shuchita Gupta, Gregg S. Pressman, D Lynn Morris, Vincent M. Figueredo, M.D.
Division of Cardiology Faculty Papers
BACKGROUND: As the number of angina patients with severe coronary artery disease not amenable to revascularization increases, new therapies will be developed. How patients with depressed compared to normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will respond to new therapies may differ.
HYPOTHESIS: We conducted a retrospective chart review to determine the distribution of LVEF in angina patients with severe coronary artery disease (three-vessel disease with >50% stenosis major epicardial vessels or >50% stenosis left main) not amenable to revascularization.
METHODS: Patients underwent cardiac catheterization between 2004 and 2009. LVEF, measured by echocardiography, nuclear-gated imaging or radioventriculography within 6 months of …
