Short Qt Syndrome (Sqts), George Shaker, Igbayilola Dosunmu, Jason Kim, Tiffany Guillen, Kevin Kuang

Please see supplemental content for full abstract.

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a rare inherited arrhythmogenic disorder characterized by abnormally short QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG) secondary to a cardiac channelopathy in the absence of structural heart disease.3 Defective function of the potassium-calcium ion channels in SQTS patients facilitates an increased risk of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, which can lead to symptoms such as syncope or cardiac arrest.2 In this report, we present a 24-year-old male with a past medical history SQTS with prior cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation, status post ICD placement and cardiac sympathectomy, who presented with increased …

Cardiorespiratory Fitness As A Vital Sign Of Cvd Risk In The Covid-19 Era, Matthew P. Harber, James E. Peterman, Mary Imboden, Leonard Kaminsky, Ruth E.M. Ashton, Ross Arena, Mark A. Faghy

Faculty Publications - Department of Kinesiology

The severe health consequences of the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have been exacerbated by the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Further, policy decisions during the pandemic augmented unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and health inequalities, likely increasing the global disease burden. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a well-established biomarker associated with CVD risk. Emerging data demonstrate that high CRF offers some protection against severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection, highlighting the importance of CRF for population health and the potential for limiting the severity of future pandemics. CRF is best assessed by …

Sex Differences In Cardiometabolic Risk Factors In Youth With Obesity, Lucrecia Valdez

Theses and Dissertations--Nutrition and Food Systems

Background: The prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents is rising, with 13% having elevated blood pressure and 5% having hypertension. Sex differences play a role in cardiovascular diseases in adults but are not well defined in youth. The objective of this study is to identify sex differences in obesity-mediated cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. Methods: This is a pilot study of n=82 youth with obesity recruited from a High BMI Clinic. Clinical data and blood samples were collected at a single time point. Serum sterols were quantified via LC-MS/MS. Number of cardiometabolic risk factors were evaluated. Data are mean …

A Case Of Transient Left Bundle Branch Block, Taylor Craig, Vincent Grekoski, Kashan Mahmood, Laura Tortora

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Please see supplemental content for full abstract with references.

Episodic bundle branch blocks are a phenomenon associated with many clinical conditions seen in the emergency department. Intermittent BBBs by definition show both normal conduction and BBB within a single electrocardiographic tracing, where a transient BBB is described as a conduction defect that which then returns to normal. The most common cause of both transient and episodic BBB is rate related however there are many causes.1 Acute LBBB should lead to suspicion of acute coronary syndrome until proven otherwise, however other many other precipitating causes can factor into the overall clinical …

Cardiac Tamponade In The Setting Of Severe Sepsis And Adrenal Insufficiency, Ayesha Choudhry, Matthew Cardeiro, Angelina Hong, Adekunle Bamgboye

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Introduction: Pericardial effusions can have various etiologies, including infectious, autoimmune, drug induced, endocrinologic, among others. Cardiac tamponade occurs when large effusions compress the heart and can lead to obstructive shock.

Case Description: A 48-year-old female with a history of hypothyroidism and pituitary adenoma resection presented with subjective fevers and generalized weakness for the past 5 days. She was lethargic with muffled heart sounds on exam. Vitals showed a heart rate 95 beats per minute, blood pressure 63/51, respiratory rate 18 breaths per minute, with normal temperature. Labs on admission were significant for white blood cell count of 11,500/L, hemoglobin 10.8 …
