Objectives
Accurate assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function is important, as it is an established predictor of mortality in cardiac and respiratory diseases. We aimed to compare speckle tracking–derived longitudinal deformation measurements with traditional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic parameters, as well as real time three...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology of IE is changing, affecting more elderly patients with increased medical comorbidities. We aimed to assess the ability of the age adjusted Charlson Co-morbidity Index (ACCI) to predict early and late outcomes.
Between 1998 and 2010, adult patients with de...
To assess the capacity of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) to (i) detect the subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction [LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% patients]; (ii) predict all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (all patients), and (iii) provide incremental prognostic information ov...
The presence of heart failure (HF) is an established risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and impact of concomitant HF on major outcomes in contemporary PCI practice.
We analysed 5006 consecutive PCIs (2004-2006) enrolled in the Melbou...
A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with Mycobacterium genavense duodenitis 21 months after an allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplant complicated by graft-versus-host disease requiring intense immunosuppression. This duodenitis responded to prolonged therapy with clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and rifabutin and reduction of immunosuppression.
