Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Severe Dengue: Case Report From Pakistan., Warda Ajmal, Zahra Iftikhar, Asaad Akbar Khan

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is an established transient cardiomyopathy found predominately in females with intense emotional and physical strain. It has four notable variants: Apical, Mid-Ventricular, Basal and Focal. Mid Ventricular variant is also referred to as Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Dengue is a viral arthopod-borne tropical disease endemic to Pakistan, with multiple reports of cardiovascular involvement. We report an atypical presentation of a 17 year old male, suffering from Dengue Fever, who presented to a tertiary care hospital with Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND: An English version of the Patient Perception of Patient-Centeredness (PPPC) scale was recently revised, and it is necessary to test this instrument in different primary care populations.

AIM: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of a Chinese version of the PPPC scale.

DESIGN: A mixed method was used in this study. The Delphi method was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data to address the content validity of the PPPC scale by calculating the Content Validity Index, Content Validity Ratio, the adjusted Kappa, and the Item Impact Score. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis …

The Use Of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance In Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Over The Past 10 Years [2013-2023]: A Citespace-Based Bibliometric Analysis, Mengyao Hu, Yu Shen, Yipei Song, Shuhao Li, Pei Yang, Ao Kan, Qiming Fang, Yun Peng, Haibo Ren, Yajing Zhang, Lianggeng Gong

BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disorder characterized by the hypertrophy of a segment of the myocardium. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been widely used in the assessment of HCM. However, no bibliometric assessment has been conducted on the progress of research in this field. This study thus aimed to examine the current state of research into the application of CMR in HCM and the hotspots and trends that have emerged in this field over the past decade.

METHODS: A systematic search was conducted on the Web of Science regarding CMR in the assessment of HCM. The …

Novel Techniques In Imaging Congenital Heart Disease: Jacc Scientific Statement, Ritu Sachdeva, Aimee K Armstrong, Rima Arnaout, Lars Grosse-Wortmann, B Kelly Han, Luc Mertens, Ryan A Moore, Laura J Olivieri, Anitha Parthiban, Andrew J Powell

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Recent years have witnessed exponential growth in cardiac imaging technologies, allowing better visualization of complex cardiac anatomy and improved assessment of physiology. These advances have become increasingly important as more complex surgical and catheter-based procedures are evolving to address the needs of a growing congenital heart disease population. This state-of-the-art review presents advances in echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, invasive angiography, 3-dimensional modeling, and digital twin technology. The paper also highlights the integration of artificial intelligence with imaging technology. While some techniques are in their infancy and need further refinement, others have found their way into clinical workflow …

Clonal Hematopoiesis And Incident Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, Art Schuermans, Michael C Honigberg, Laura M Raffield, Bing Yu, Mary B Roberts, Charles Kooperberg, Pinkal Desai, April P Carson, Amil M Shah, Christie M Ballantyne, Alexander G Bick, Pradeep Natarajan, Joann E Manson, Eric A Whitsel, Charles B Eaton, Alexander P Reiner

IMPORTANCE: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), the age-related clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with leukemogenic acquired genetic variants, is associated with incident heart failure (HF).

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations of CHIP and key gene-specific CHIP subtypes with incident HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This population-based cohort study included participants from 2 racially diverse prospective cohort studies with uniform HF subtype adjudication: the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) and Women's Health Initiative (WHI). JHS participants were enrolled during 2000 to 2004 and followed up through 2016. WHI participants were …

Effect Of Acute Care Discharge Delays On Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (Irf) Utilization, Eric Garrard

Student Dissertations

Discharge delays present hospitals with challenges in managing costs for Medicare admissions. Meanwhile, Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRF) are subject to strict pre-admission requirements that can complicate efficient transitions of care for patients with intensive rehabilitation needs. The purpose of this retrospective quantitative correlational study was to examine any relationship between acute care discharge delays and IRF utilization. This study investigated whether length of stay (LOS) and Medicare Advantage prior authorization requirements impact IRF referrals by reviewing 3,747 medical records of acute stroke patients aged 65 years and older at a regionally integrated healthcare system over a 3-year period (2020- 2022). …

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Each year, 700,000 patients are hospitalized with acute decompensated congestive heart failure. In order to effectively treat these patients, they require delicate management of volume status. Measuring volume status incorporates the following components: recording strict inputs and outputs of urine/fluids, recording daily standing weights and fluid restriction. This project focused on recording daily weights as a measure of accurate volume status and how that affected length of hospital stay. Data will be gathered by patient chart review including patient's admitted from Jan 2023 -Jan 2024 at Medical City Weatherford admitted with a primary/admitting diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Using PDSA …

Individualizing Patient Education To Reduce Heart Failure Readmissions, Melissa M. Andersen

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Scholarly Projects - Archive

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition with high readmission rates, often due to inadequate patient knowledge about home care and symptom management. Individualized patient education combined with standardized approaches could improve patient outcomes.

Objective: This project’s goal was to determine if using individual patient knowledge to create a personalized education along with standard HF education would improve patient HF knowledge, improve home management and decrease HF readmission rates.

Methods: This pilot quality improvement (QI) project was conducted in an acute care hospital using a convenience sample of 29 patients admitted due to a HF exacerbation using pre-posttest design. …
