Microbiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections.
Advancements in our understanding of cardiac conduction abnormalities and pathophysiology of congestive heart failure coupled with innovations in device manufacturing and programming have helped to create a demand for a plethora of newer cardiovascular devices over the past 3 decades. Appropriate use of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in carefully selected patients is asso...
متن کاملCardiovascular implantable electronic device infections: associated risk factors and prevention.
Infections of cardiovascular implantable electric devices (CIED) are a burden on patients and healthcare systems and should be prevented. The most frequent pathogens are coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus. The most important risk factors for CIED infections are diabetes mellitus, renal and heart failure, corticosteroid use, oral anticoagulation, fever within 24 hours bef...
متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Mortality from infective endocarditis: clinical predictors of outcome
Objective: To identify clinical markers available within the first 48 hours of admission that are associated with poor outcome in infective endocarditis. Designs: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Teaching hospital. Patients: 208 of 220 patients with infective endocarditis. Methods: Consecutive patients with infective endocarditis presenting between 1981 and 1999 to a tertiary centre were st...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Predictors of Cardiovascular Mortality
Cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of mortality. Sudden cardiac death may also appear in athletes, due to underlying congenital or inherited cardiac abnormalities. The electrocardiogram is used in clinical practice and clinical trials, as a valid, reliable, accessible, inexpensive method. The aim of the present paper was to review electrocardiographic (ECG) signs associated with cardio...
متن کاملNonvalvular cardiovascular device-related infections.
More than a century ago, Osler took numerous syndrome descriptions of cardiac valvular infection that were incomplete and confusing and categorized them into the cardiovascular infections known as infective endocarditis. Because he was both a clinician and a pathologist, he was able to provide a meaningful outline of this complex disease. Technical advances have allowed us to better subcategori...
