Mashup Score: 0
IntroductionPulse oximetry was invented by biomedical engineer Dr Takuo Aoyagi in 1974 to noninvasively measure arterial blood oxygen saturation. The invention was touted as “arguably the greatest advance in patient monitoring since electrocardiography”, with its introduction coinciding with a 90% reduction in anesthesia-related fatalities.1 It was a revolutionary concept to detect oxygen…

Mashup Score: 0Clinical and Pathologic Features of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy: Insights From a Statewide Registry - 2 year(s) ago
IntroductionCardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of indirect maternal mortality worldwide, with sudden cardiac arrest estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 12 to 30,000 pregnancies.1 Only 2 studies to date have evaluated rates and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in pregnancy specifically, with a cumulative total of 22 pregnant OHCA patients.2,3 There is a need for…

IntroductionIn 2010, 21% of U.S. residents primarily spoke a language other than English compared with 10% in 1980.1 Limited English proficiency (LEP) has been shown to increase the risk of hospital readmission, poor understanding of medical situations and reporting of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and adverse medication reactions.2 As the population of patients with LEP grows, we must understand…

Mashup Score: 0Artificial Intelligence vs Visual Assessment of Calcified Plaque in Coronary Artery Using Optical Coherence Tomography: - 2 year(s) ago
IntroductionSevere calcification limits stent expansion, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in calcified lesions is associated with a higher rate of revascularization and myocardial infarction. To facilitate stent expansion, intravascular imaging is used to evaluate the necessity for prior lesion modification. In optical coherence tomography (OCT), a calcium scoring system was developed…

Mashup Score: 1Predicting High-Risk Plaques in Familial Hypercholesterolemia Using Clinical Variables and Coronary Artery Calcium: - 2 year(s) ago
IntroductionFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a disorder associated with accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Because ASCVD varies among affected individuals, risk prediction tools specific to FH exist.1 These are, however, cohort based and may underestimate risk in individuals. Therefore, there is an unmet need for a more precise risk prediction in patients with…

Authors developed a model to predict the presence of HRPs in FH. Incorporation of such a model into clinical practice may enhance cardiovascular risk prediction and therapy https://t.co/nIVymdDX4S #cardioTwitter #SoMe #MedTwitter #CardioEd #MedEd https://t.co/6s5P7ByrsA

IntroductionThe diagnostic paradigm for patients with stable angina pectoris typically involves: 1) a clinical risk assessment which categorizes patients as low, intermediate, or high risk on the basis of factors such as age, sex, and symptoms; and 2) for those patients who are at intermediate/high risk, further diagnostic testing is needed to determine whether the patient has objective evidence…

IntroductionInternational medical graduates (IMGs) constitute a significant portion of the current cardiology workforce in the United States. In the last decade, ∼40% of cardiology trainees were IMGs.1 Historically, IMGs have filled essential gaps in the health care system based on geographic preferences.2 With a continuing rise in physician shortage3 and a growing number of practicing…
