Abstract

Cardiac device infections (CDIs) represent a serious complication after the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators. In addition to antimicrobials, complete hardware removal, mostly with percutaneous lead extraction (PLE), is necessary to limit recurrences. However, CDI diagnosis is often difficult and is sometimes delayed, and scarce data exist on how the timing of PLE may affect clinical outcomes. In this study, the in-hospital outcomes of 52 consecutive patients with CDIs who underwent PLE were retrospectively analyze. Co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, and end-stage renal disease were highly prevalent in the study cohort. Patients were divided into group A (bacteremia or device endocarditis) and group B (localized pocket infection). In-hospital mortality was 29% in group A and 5% in group B (p = 0.02) and was due mostly to sepsis. Hospital stays were shorter in group B patients (5.7 vs 21.7 days, p <0.001). Presentation with hypotension was more commonly observed in group A patients and was associated with higher in-hospital mortality, whereas pocket findings correlated with better survival. Postoperative courses after PLE were uneventful in most patients, and no f...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
