The COVID-19 Pandemic has put enormous pressure on the healthcare system globally, causing many healthcare organizations all over the world to cancel or stop elective procedures in their cardiac catheterization laboratoires. This delay in elective procedures with no doubt has led to a suspension of patient care primarily to those with severe aortic stenosis, which might place them at higher risk for cardiovascular complications like sudden death and heart failure.Health Care Worker are faced with the uncertainty of contracting infections while performing procedures in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 or suspected cases. This unprecedented situation is very challenging for the safety of Health Care Worker. Hence, in this article, we aim to summarize some of the current guidelines as to how to triage patients in need for Trans Catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), during this ongoing pandemic, and will address some necessary considerations related to the preparation of catheterization laboratories and personal during the COVID-19 pandemic. 相似文献

Assessment of diastolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction using Doppler echocardiography 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Doppler echocardiography (DE) is becoming a powerful noninvasive tool for assessing left ventricular diastolic dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). Transmitral inflow DE measurements of early and late filling velocities, early to late ratio and early deceleration time correlate well with left ventricular filling pressure. Three abnormal filling patterns (impaired relaxation, pseudonormalization and restrictive) develop after MI, depending on infarct size. Pulmonary venous inflow DE contributes important additional diagnostic data and, when combined with transmitral DE, avoids potential confusion due to the pseudonormal pattern that develops in the presence of high left atrial pressure and impaired relaxation. Several studies indicate that these DE patterns correlate with progressively increasing functional impairment, and the restrictive transmitral pattern predicts heart failure and death among MI survivors. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of therapy on the DE patterns of diastolic dysfunction after MI. 相似文献

Objectives
This study sought to prospectively assess the impact of routine invasive physiology at the time of angiography on reclassification of therapeutic management of multivessel disease (MVD) patients, and to assess how implementation of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) alters the process.Background
Routine invasive physiology in intermediate coronary lesions at the time of diagnostic angiography, primarily in patients with single-vessel disease and using fractional flow reserve (FFR), reclassifies coronary revascularization management in 26% to 44% of patients. The role of invasive physiology in patients with MVD is unclear.Methods
In 18 centers, 484 patients undergoing diagnostic angiography disclosing MVD with lesions >40% by visual assessment were included. Investigators were asked to prospectively define their initial management strategy based on angiography and clinical information. Invasive physiology (FFR or iFR driven) was then performed and final strategy defined. Initial and final vessel, patient, procedural, and overall management were described. Reclassification was defined as the difference between initial and final strategy.Results
The majority of patients were clinically stable (82.2%). Two- and 3-vessel disease was present in 73.3% and 26.7% of patients, respectively. Lesions investigated were “intermediate” with median percent stenosis, median FFR, and median iFR at 60% (interquartile range [IQR]: 50% to 70%), 0.84 (IQR: 0.78 to 0.90), and 0.92 (IQR: 0.85 to 0.96), respectively. Vessel management was reclassified by physiology in 30.0% (249 of 828) of vessels. Patient and overall management were reclassified in 26.9% (130 of 484) and 45.7% (211 of 484) of patients, respectively. Reclassification rates were high irrespective of initial management (optimal medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting), and performance and results of pre-procedural noninvasive tests. Reclassification of overall management in particular increased with the number of vessels investigated (1 vessel: 37.3%; 2 vessels: 45.0%; 3 vessels: 66.7%; p = 0.002). Incorporating iFR in the decision process was associated with investigation of more vessels (p = 0.04) and higher reclassification (p = 0.0001).Conclusions
In patients with MVD and intermediate coronary lesions, invasive physiology at time of angiography reclassifies revascularization strategy in a large proportion of cases (26.9%) and investigation of more vessels is associated with higher reclassification rates. 相似文献4.

Objectives
The Saudi Project for Assessment of Coronary Events (SPACE) registry is the first in Saudi Arabia to study the clinical features, management, and in-hospital outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.Methods
We conducted a prospective registry study in 17 hospitals in Saudi Arabia between December 2005 and December 2007. ACS patients included those with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina; both were reported collectively as NSTEACS (non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome).Results
5055 patients were enrolled with mean age ± SD of 58 ± 12.9 years; 77.4% men, 82.4% Saudi nationals; 41.5% had STEMI, and 5.1% arrived at the hospital by ambulance. History of diabetes mellitus was present in 58.1%, hypertension in 55.3%, hyperlipidemia in 41.1%, and 32.8% were current smokers; all these were more common in NSTEACS patients, except for smoking (all P < 0.0001). In-hospital medications were: aspirin (97.7%), clopidogrel (83.7%), beta-blockers (81.6%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (75.1%), and statins (93.3%). Median time from symptom onset to hospital arrival for STEMI patients was 150 min (IQR: 223), 17.5% had primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 69.1% had thrombolytic therapy, and 14.8% received it at less than 30 min of hospital arrival. In-hospital outcomes included recurrent myocardial infarction (1.5%), recurrent ischemia (12.6%), cardiogenic shock (4.3%), stroke (0.9%), major bleeding (1.3%). In-hospital mortality was 3.0%.Conclusion
ACS patients in Saudi Arabia present at a younger age, have much higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, less access to ambulance use, delayed treatment by thrombolytic therapy, and less primary PCI compared with patients in the developed countries. This is the first national ACS registry in our country and it demonstrated knowledge-care gaps that require further improvements. 相似文献6.
