Statin therapy improves long-term survival in patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA)

Konrad Stępień, Grzegorz Horosin, Natalia Kachnic, Alicia Del Carmen Yika et autres

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines suggest that statins may be beneficial in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). However, the available data are ambiguous. OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the effect of statin therapy on long-term mortality among MINOCA patients. …

Altered Fibrin Clot Properties and Long-term Mortality are Associated with Biventricular Decompensation in Heart Failure with Reduced Contractility

Karol Nowak, Paweł Żmudzki, Aleksandra Karcińska, Alicia Del Carmen Yika et autres

Abstract Prothrombotic risk in heart failure (HF) decompensation remains incompletely understood; therefore, we sought to investigate fibrin clot properties, their determinants, and their impact on long-term mortality in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and symptoms of biventricular (BVHF) versus isolated …

Qualitative and quantitative ultrasonographic assessment of muscle and its association with comprehensive geriatric assessment results among older patients scheduled for abdominal surgery

Apolonia Miążek, Alicia Del Carmen Yika, S. Wróbel, Zofia Łubniewski et autres

Aim: Sarcopenia, a key component of frailty, is a known risk factor for postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess ultrasonographic features of aging muscles and their association with frailty, as determined by the comprehensive geriatric assessment, in patients undergoing …

Evaluation of individual and composite CT-based markers in frailty diagnostics in older patients with cancer undergoing major abdominal surgery

Jerzy Krzeszowiak, Alicia Del Carmen Yika, Wojciech Rudnicki, Jakub Kenig

BACKGROUND: Frailty, a multifactorial syndrome associated with age-related decline in physiological reserves, is a critical determinant of surgical outcomes in the elderly. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is the gold standard for diagnosing frailty but is resource-intensive. This study investigates the relationship between …

CHA2DS2-VASc score as a mortality predictor in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Olaf Kądzioła, Konrad Stępień, Alicia Del Carmen Yika, Natalia Kachnic et autres

Background The mortality rate in decompensated heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains high. In recent years the prognostic role of CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score, initially formulated for embolic risk prediction in atrial fibrillation, has been shown in …

The reduction of clot lysis time on statins is associated with lipid plaque parameters in optical coherence tomography in acute myocardial infarction

Konrad Stępień, Grzegorz Horosin, A Karcinska, Alicia Del Carmen Yika et autres

Abstract Background Statins are the most important lipid-lowering drugs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The additional effects of statins traditionally defined as independent of cholesterol-lowering actions, encompass suppression of blood coagulation and enhancement of fibrinolysis. As has been shown high-dose statins contribute …

Simulation training significantly improves the performance of novice students achieving the standard transesophageal echocardiography views

Aleksander Siniarski, Paweł Piątek, Aleksandra Karcińska, Alicia Del Carmen Yika et autres

BACKGROUND: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an important cardiovascular imaging modality, offering detailed images surpassing other techniques, including transthoracic echocardiography. TEE's efficacy relies on skilled physicians operating the probe. Adequate TEE training is often overlooked, leading to potential patient discomfort or harm during …

Clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with heart failure with supra-normal ejection fraction: data from LECRA-HF registry

Konrad Stępień, Kinga L. Eliasz, Klaudia Nowak, N Kachnic et autres

Abstract Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains insufficiently characterized subgroup of HF with increasing prevalence and limited treatment options. Relationship between clinically assessed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and survival showed that LVEF ≥65% is associated with higher mortality. …
