Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) function assumes prognostic significance in various disease states, but RV geometry is not amenable to volumetric assessment by two-dimensional echocardiography. Intra-ventricular pressure rate of rise (dP/dt) predicts myocardial contractility and adjusting for the maximal regurgitant velocity (Vmax) corrects for preload. We examined the relationship of noninvasive tricuspid dP/dt and dP/dt/Vmax with RV ejection fraction (RVEF) by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as a measure of RV function. Fifty CMRs and echocardiograms performed within 30 days were included. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) spectral Doppler trace was analyzed offline. TR dP/dt was calculated using simplified Bernoulli equation (dP/dt between 1 and 2 m/sec). dP/dt/Vmax was calculated as a ratio of dP/dt and TR Vmax . RV end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic volumes (ESV) were obtained from contouring of steady-state-free precession axial stack CMR images RVEF was calculated as [(RVEDV - RVESV)/RVEDV] × 100. RVEF >42% was considered normal. Majority of studies were suitable for analysis. Median age was 48 years (IQR = 36-63) 56.4% were female (n = 22/39). There was correlation between dP/dt and RVEF (r(2) = 0.51, P < 0.01) which improved with dP/dt/Vmax (r(2) = 0.59, P 400 mmHg/sec had a positive predictive value of 91%, sensitivity and specificity of 74% and 84% respectively for normal RVEF. Inter-observer agreement and repeatability analysis showed no significant difference. Tricuspid dP/dt correlates well with CMR RVEF. A dP/dt of more than 400 mmHg/sec strongly predicts normal RVEF. Adjusting for preload (dP/dt/Vmax) further improves this correlation.

Abstract: There is a lingering controversy in the current literature about the impact of late incomplete stent apposition (LISA) on clinical outcomes, especially stent thrombosis (ST). Therefore, we aimed to synthesize the available evidence evaluating the association between LISA and adverse clinical outcomes. We systematically searched electronic databases for studies reporting clinical outcomes in patients with and without LISA. Relevant study characteristics and clinical outcomes were extracted. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were computed. Sensitivity analyses were done. Sixteen studies with 4,946 patients 666 patients with 20,035 patient-months follow up with LISA and 4,280 patients with 121,855 patient-months follow up without LISA were included. The estimated prevalence of LISA at follow up was 16% (95% CI 12-20%). The incidences of late/very late ST (IRR = 4.81, 95% CI 2.68-8.62) and myocardial infarction (MI) (IRR = 3.09, 95% CI 1.72-5.55) were significantly higher in the LISA group compared to patients without LISA. Subset analysis of studies reporting Academic Research Consortium definitive robable ST (IRR = 4.98 95% CI 2.51-9.89) and acquired LISA (IRR = 3.67, 95% CI 1.5-9.0) similarly showed increased risk of late/very late ST. The results of sensitivity analyses were consistent. There was no difference in cardiac death and target lesion revascularization. The presence of LISA at a follow up of 6-18 months after stent implantation is associated with a higher risk of late/very late ST and MI. Additional studies are required to establish a cause and effect, and inform the management strategy. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: National registries have provided data on in-hospital outcomes for several cardiac procedures. The available data on in-hospital outcomes and its predictors after pericardiocentesis are mostly derived from single center studies. Furthermore, the outcomes after pericardiocentesis for iatrogenic pericardial effusion and the impact of procedural volume on in-hospital outcomes in the United States are largely unknown. We used national inpatient database files for the years 2009-2013 to estimate the inpatient outcomes after pericardiocentesis in all-comers and in the subgroups with iatrogenic effusion. We also studied the impact of hospital procedural volume, among other predictors, on inpatient mortality. About 64,070 (95%CI 61 008-67 051) pericardiocentesis were performed in the United States during 2009-2013. Of these, 57.15% (56.02-58.26%) of the pericardiocentesis were in hemodynamically unstable patients. Percutaneous cardiac procedures were performed in 17.7% of patients (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 4.02%, electrophysiologic procedures 13.58%, and structural heart intervention (SHI) 0.76%). Overall inpatient mortality was 12.30% (95%CI 11.66-12.96%). Inpatient mortality after PCI, electrophysiologic procedures, SHI and cardiac surgery were 27.67% (95%CI 24-31.67%), 7.8% (95%CI 6.67-9.31%), 22.36% (95%CI 15.06-31.85%) and 18.97% (95%CI 15.84-22.57%), respectively. There was an inverse association between hospital procedural volume and inpatient mortality, with a mortality of 14.01% (12.84-15.26%) at the lowest and 10.82% (9.44-12.37%) at highest quartile hospitals by procedure volume (p The inpatient mortality after pericardiocentesis is high, particularly when associated with PCI and SHI.
