QTc: how long is too long?
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) affects an estimated 1 in 2500 people and typically presents with syncope, seizures or sudden death. Whereas someone exhibiting marked prolongation of the QT interval with QTc exceeding 500 ms who was just externally defibrillated from torsades de pointes while swimming poses negligible diagnostic challenge as to the unequivocal probability of LQTS, the certai...
متن کاملDelayed decisions—how long is too long?
Despite being in publishing for the best part of two decades there is one thing I cannot adequately explain. Why is it that when a journal wants something from an author, the journal gives a deadline of barely a week but when an author wants something from a journal he can seemingly wait for ever? A typical example is when waiting for review. An author spends a year, or more, undertaking a rese...
متن کاملRisk stratification for long-term mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND A simple risk score to predict long-term mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using preprocedural risk factors is currently not available. In this study, we created one by simplifying the results of a Cox proportional hazards model. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 11,897 patients who underwent PCI from October through December 2003 in New York State were randomly...
متن کاملOptimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention or after acute coronary syndrome
To prevent recurrent ischaemic events, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard of care after percutaneous coronary intervention and in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome. Recent evidence supports an adjusted DAPT duration in selected patients.The current paper aims to encourage cardiologists to actively search for patients benefiting from either shorter or prolonged duration DAPT...
متن کاملRed blood cell storage: how long is too long?
Red blood cells (RBCs) undergo biochemical and structural changes during storage, commonly referred to as the "storage lesion." Evidence suggests that the longer the RBC product is stored, the less effective is the transfused blood. Many studies linking morbidity to transfusion have not considered duration of RBC storage as a variable that may modulate the effect. In addition, the effects of su...
