Cardiotoxicity In Hematologic Stem Cell Transplant: Keeping The Beat
… in the U.S. and worldwide is increasing. Cardiac events have been well described in HSCT, and incidence and type of cardiac events have not changed over recent decades. This study adds to the body of evidence in describing incidence and type of cardiac events experienced by an allogeneic …

Optimizing Value from Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Cost-Utility Analysis Comparing Age, Sex and Clinical Subgroups
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation reduces mortality and subsequent cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease. While economic evaluations of cardiac rehabilitation have been published, none consider clinical, age and sex subgroups to demonstrate how the cost-effectiveness varies. …

Association of adverse cardiovascular outcomes with weighted morphologic variability following non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes
… high risk of having subsequent adverse cardiac events. Several electrocardiographic (ECG) measures such as heart rate variability, heart rate turbulence, deceleration capacity, T-wave altemans, and morphologic variability have been used to identify patients at an increased risk of …

Peri-operative cardiac morbidity: prediction, prevention and the novel role of B-type natriuretic peptide
… have been utilised to attempt to predict the cardiac risk of surgery. Theoretically, accurate pre-operative risk stratification would allow patients at low risk to have their surgery expedited efficiently, whilst those at higher risk could have a change made to their treatment plan such as …

Synergistic inhibition of cyclooxygenases and monoacylglycerol lipase in neuropathic pain
… inflammation and increased risk of cardiac events. Like NSAIDs, cannabinoids have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and reduce neuropathic pain in preclinical models. The present study investigated the analgesic effects of inhibiting both monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and …

Association of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Use with Kidney and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients
… have shown promise in reducing cardiovascular events and improving kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Due to these hopeful improvements, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have started using GLP-1RA. However, their effects in KTRs remain largely unstudied in clinical studies. …

For the love of country ham: a qualitative analysis of cardiac event survivors
… those who have experienced a traumatic cardiac event are unique due to the aftercare requirements of many cardiac events. In this thesis, a cardiac event is defined as an event that has caused damage to the heart and required or currently requires medical attention. Individuals who have …

MIT Automated Auscultation System
… care physician uses a stethoscope to listen for cardiac abnormalities. This approach is non-invasive, inexpensive, and fast. It is also highly unreliable. Over 80% of the people referred to cardiologists as suffering from the most commonly diagnosed condition, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), do not …

POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE CHEST PAIN OBSERVATION UNIT UTILIZATION: ADMISSION OF VERY-LOW-RISK PATIENTS
… Patients were followed for 30 day major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as the composite of death, acute myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization. Over 33 months, the registry enrolled 1731 chest pain patients. The study definition of potentially avoidable CPOU admissions was …

Five year rehospitalization outcomes in a cohort of acute ischemic stroke patients: medicare linkage study.
… for recurrent ischemic stroke, heart failure, cardiac events, any vascular events pneumonia and hip fractures. The excess risk of mortality and iii rehospitalizations in the SC persisted beyond the initial aftermath of the acute stroke (i.e. beyond 30 days post-stroke) and persisted even after …

Circadian Rhythm in Intrinsic Heart Rate
Heart rate (HR) as well as adverse cardiac events (i.e. myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, stroke, and sudden cardiac death) show circadian patterns. Circadian HR fluctuations are traditionally thought to be controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). However, recent studies have concluded …

Effects Of A Six-Week Functional Training Program On Fitness And Body Composition Of Fire Science Majors
… cause of on duty death of firefighters is sudden cardiac events. Current research has shown the effects of fire physical training programs on firefighters, but has not researched fire specific physical training programs for the fire science major population. Purpose: The purpose of this study was …

Long term outcome and the validity of EuroSCORE II in native-valve surgery for active endocarditis in a South African cohort
… for predicting the early mortality after cardiac surgery. HYPOTHESIS: Infective endocarditis has a high risk for mortality due to certain risk factors and the currently available EuroSCORE II model may not predict early mortality accurately and may not be suitable for our patient …
