The objective of the present study was to develop and validate a predictive cardiac risk calculator. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients who underwent surgery were identified from the American College of Surgeons' 2007 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, a multicenter (>250 hospitals) ...
Limitations of a Cardiac Risk (QRISK2) Calculator in Patients with High Density Lipoprotein (HDL).The study highlights issues with underestimation of CVD risk in this population and strongly advocates use of standard population mean values in assessment of CVD risk.Jatinder S Minhas...
Through comprehensive and expeditious testing, we were able to identify COVID-19 positive patients prior to surgery, allowing not only for postponement of surgery, but also for the initiation of any related therapies needed. The same system of safeguards will be used in the recovery phase of ...

Click here to know more CRT devices Our groundbreaking research has allowed us to develop the world’s longest-lasting cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators1and SonRTM, the world’s first and only AV/VV optimization algorithm based on cardiac contractility leading to a 35% risk reduct...
In Japan, there is another risk model and calculator (Japan Score), which was created in 2008 on the basis of Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database accumulated from 2000 [18]. The Japan Score is useful to predict risk of early death after cardiac surgery, but is not able to be applied ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk factors for failure of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) in the treatment of acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiac surgery. METHODS: Adult patients without any prior pre-operative history of chronic renal failure who underwent CVVHD after cardiac surgery ...
Krumholz, MD, SM JAMA Network Open Key Points Question Can a model be developed based on perioperative metabolic panel laboratory values to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery? Findings Risk models developed using data from 63 260 patients demonstrated good ...
To analyze the acute response to ischemia and test if both species are initially similarly affected by the surgery, we injected mice with Evans blue dye intravascularly 24 h after surgery, and quantified the infarct zone. We additionally quantified the number of TUNEL-reactive cells in the sca...
Cardiovascular disease and cardiac surgery, in particular, are associated with a large expenditure of healthcare resources. Identifying the factors that affect length of stay for patients hospitalized for cardiac surgery and ways to safely and effectively shorten stays could have significant impact on he...
