Subacute Defibrillator Lead Associated Right Ventricular Perforation In A Young Individual With Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: A Unique Clinical Case, Jackson V. Littlejohn, Aditya Sharma, Marisha R. Sharma, Kamran Rizvi

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Pacemaker-lead associated complications are often documented in elderly populations with ischemic heart disease. Acute perforations within 24 hours of implantation are the most common, and immediate life-threatening complications are most likely to occur during an acute perforation. Subacute perforations between 1 day and 30 days after implantation are less common and carry a lower risk of life-threatening complications. Here, we present a unique case of subacute right ventricular perforation in a young individual with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, challenging the conventional understanding of such an occurrence. Further adding to the intrigue of our case, the patient had recurrent hospital visits both before …

Systemic Storm: Multi-Organ Septic Emboli In Acute Aortic Valve Endocarditis, Jilpa Shah, Akshaj Pole, Amnah Andrabi

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

According to the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the endocardial surface of the native valve, prosthetic heart valve, or an implanted cardiac device such as a permanent pacemaker or a defibrillator. IE is a rare fatal disease with an incidence rate of 3 to 10 cases per 100,000 people, predominantly in males over the age of 50 years in developed countries. Septic emboli are a serious sequelae of infective endocarditis with commonly affecting brain, spleen, kidneys, and lung. Usually, initial management includes tapered long term antibiotics with surgical evaluation for possible valve …

Recurrent Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardias In A Patient With Suspicion Of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report, Chinar Singh, Meng Xie, Poonam Choudhry, Asif Jawaid

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2024

Objective: This case study aims to highlight the mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies, and management approach utilized for recurrent non-sustained ventricular tachycardias in a patient with suspected cardiac amyloidosis.

Background: Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterized by the abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins in tissues and organs throughout the body. These proteins aggregate into insoluble fibrils that disrupt normal cellular function, leading to a range of clinical manifestations depending on the affected organs. Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils specifically in the myocardial tissue, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy, progressive heart failure and arrhythmias. Ventricular tachycardia …

Improving The Screening For Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm At Grand Prairie Internal Medicine Clinic ​, Riddhi H. Patel, Danielle Ford

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is typically defined as aortic enlargement with a diameter of 3.0 cm or larger. The prevalence of AAA has declined over the past 2 decades among screened men 65 years or older in various European countries. The current prevalence of AAA in the United States is unclear because of the low uptake of screening. This QI project will involve MCA residents and Grand Prairie clinic attending to incorporate screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm guidelines used by USPSTF and attempt to encourage all our established and new patients who fit into the criteria for …

The Potential Beneficial Role Of Anti-Platelet/Anti-Coagulant Medications On Diabetic Retinopathy: A Scoping Review Protocol, Sarah Draud, Qingjun Wang, Lauren E. Robinson

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM, both types 1 and 2), affecting millions of individuals worldwide. DM is known to induce changes in platelet function and hemostasis, thereby elevating the risk of thrombotic incidents. The hyperglycemic environment in DM can trigger platelet hyperactivity, potentially exacerbating the onset and progression of DR. Despite the intricate pathophysiology of DR, which involves oxidative stress, inflammation, retinal neovascularization, and the disruption of the blood-retina barrier, the specific mechanisms underlying platelet hyperactivity in the microvasculature of DM patients remain inadequately explored. Antiplatelet and anticoagulation medications have proven beneficial in …
