Myocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملStatistical models and patient predictors of readmission for acute myocardial infarction: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Readmission after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been targeted for public reporting because it is a common, costly, and often preventable outcome. To assist in ongoing efforts to risk-stratify patients and profile hospitals through public reporting of performance measures, we conducted a systematic review to identify models designed to compare hospital rates of readmission or ...
متن کاملA Survey on Factors Contributing to Hospital Patient Readmission
Background and Objectives: Patient readmission is an important criterion in performance evaluation of healthcare settings. Identifying the causes of the readmissions would help the policymakers in designing strategies for efficient management of health facilities. This stud aimed to explore factors contributing to readmission by sampling from an Iranian hospital. Methods: Clinical records of ...
متن کاملImplementation of a heart failure readmission reduction program: a role for medical residents
BACKGROUND Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one of the leading causes of hospital readmissions within 30 days of discharge. Due to the substantial costs associated with these readmissions, several interventions to reduce CHF readmissions have been developed and implemented. METHODS To reduce CHF readmissions at our community teaching hospital, the Smooth Transitions Equal Less Readmission (S...
متن کاملIdentification of Hospital Cardiac Services for Acute Myocardial Infarction Using Individual Patient Discharge Data
BACKGROUND The availability of hospital cardiac services may vary between hospitals and influence care processes and outcomes. However, data on available cardiac services are restricted to a limited number of services collected by the American Hospital Association (AHA) annual survey. We developed an alternative method to identify hospital services using individual patient discharge data for ac...
