Prevalence and Clinical Outcomes of Acute Noncardiac Organ Failure among Non-Acute Myocardial Infarction Cardiogenic Shock: A Nationwide Cohort Analysis Open
Background Noncardiac organ failure often complicates cardiogenic shock (CS). The results of cardiogenic shock caused by noncardiac organ failures in patients without acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not well documented. Methods We ex…

Comprehensive review of statin-intolerance and the practical application of Bempedoic Acid Open
Statin-intolerance (SI) has prevalence between 8.0 % and 10 %, and muscular complaints are the most common reason for discontinuation. Bempedoic acid (BA), an ATP citrate lyase inhibitor, decreases hepatic generation of cholesterol, upregu…
View article: Role of cardiac MRI in predicting the risk of right heart failure in patients who underwent left ventricular assist device implantation
Role of cardiac MRI in predicting the risk of right heart failure in patients who underwent left ventricular assist device implantation Open
Despite the advancement in the left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), right heart failure (RHF) remains a challenging adverse event after LVAD implantation and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In this study, we sough…

Trends and Outcomes of Cardiogenic Shock in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease: Insights From USRDS Database Open
BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data regarding epidemiology, temporal trends, and outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) and end-stage renal disease (chronic kidney disease stage V on hemodialysis). METHODS: This is a retrospec…

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency in a patient with aortic root Thrombus and left ventricular assist device: A risk worth taking? Open
We report a rare approach employed for management of aortic insufficiency (AI) in a patient who also had an aortic root thrombus and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that traditionally requires cardiac transplantation. Our patient had…
