ZWOLLE RISK SCORE GUIDED TRIAGE FOR ST-ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION TREATED WITH EITHER PRIMARY PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION OR THROMBOLYSIS IS SAFE
Historically, STEMI patients have required ICU-level care to manage life-threatening complications. In the era of rapid reperfusion, in-hospital complications in stable STEMI patients may be lower than expected. The Zwolle Score (Circulation. 2004;109:2737-2743) was designed to identify STEMI patients at risk of in-hospital complications. Its utility in triaging STEMI patients with both PCI or thrombolysis has not been evaluated, nor has it been evaluated for triaging STEMIs in Canada.
THE IMPACT OF CARDIAC SURGERY START TIME ON POST-OPERATIVE RESOURCE UTILIZATION
The impact of surgery start times (i.e. morning vs. afternoon) on clinical outcomes and resource utilization following cardiac surgery remains understudied. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of cardiac surgery start time on (i) in-hospital outcomes and (ii) postoperative resource utilization, including time to extubation, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) and overall post-operative LOS.
INCREASED HUMIDITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER INCIDENCE OF ST ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: FINDINGS FROM A REGIONAL STEMI NETWORK
Background Prior studies have demonstrated a relationship between colder temperature and greater STEMI incidence; however, little is known regarding the effect of additional environment parameters such as humidity and air quality on STEMI incidence in Canada. Methods and Results We studied 1,477 consecutive STEMI patients referred to St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario for primary percutaneous coronary intervention between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2014.
A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS TO EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF PREOPERATIVE SLEEP DISTURBANCE ON OUTCOMES AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY

FiguresPre-existing sleep disturbances are common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate whether preoperative sleep disturbance impacts postoperative outcomes following cardiac surgery.
RIGHT VENTRICULAR PACING IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RATES OF APPROPRIATE IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR SHOCKS

FiguresRight ventricular (RV) pacing has been associated with increased risk of pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy, hospitalization and death among patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Little is known about its association with ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
LONG-TERM RECOVERY OF KIDNEY FUNCTION IN PATIENTS REQUIRING RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. FiguresAcute renal injury (AKI) occurs in up to 30% of cardiac surgery patients. Around 1% of them require renal replacement therapy (RRT) perioperatively. Long-term recovery of kidney function in patients with newly developed AKI requiring dialysis is not well studied.
DEVELOPMENT OF A RISK CALCULATOR TO PREDICT NON-INSTITUTIONALIZED SURVIVAL IN PATIENTS WITH PROLONGED LENGTH OF STAY AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. FiguresAn increasing number of patients need prolonged intensive care unit length of stay (prICULOS) after cardiac surgery (CS), which is associated with long-term morbidity and mortality. Contemporary risk-stratifying scoring tools (ie. EUROSCORE II, STS) pertain to short term survival.
PRIMARY CORONARY INTERVENTION IN OCTOGENARIANS AND NONAGENARIANS WITH ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. FiguresConsidering Canada’s elderly population is increasing in proportion, we are likely to observe an increase in the presentation of ST-segment elevation myocardial elevation (STEMI) and use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) amongst this cohort.
