Sindrom Koroner Akut (SKA) merupakan suatu masalah kardiovaskular yang utama karena menyebabkan angka perawatan rumah sakit dan angka kematian yang tinggi. Banyak kemajuan yang telah dicapai melalui penelitian dan oleh karenanya diperlukan pedoman tatalaksana sebagai rangkuman penelitian yang ada
The actual incidence of empyema thoracis is still increasing worldwide and remains a clinical challenge with significant impact on public health; early recognition and prompt evaluation are of prime importance. Despite a lack of standardization of treatments, management should be planned according to stage, avoiding delays on referral
Epmyema thoracis is associated with high mortality ranging between 6% to 24%. The incidence of empyema is increasing in both children and adults; the cause of this surge is unknown. Most cases of empyema complicate community- or hospital-acquired pneumonia but a proportion results from iatrogenic causes or develops without pneumonia
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD), in particular acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST- elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina, is the leading cause of death worldwide. Age is a major predictor of adverse outcome following ACS
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents the pandemic of the century, with approximately 3.5 million cases and 250,000 deaths worldwide as of May 2020. Although respiratory symptoms usually dominate the clinical presentation, COVID-19 is now known to also have potentially serious cardiovascular consequences, in…
The SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 has reached pandemic levels since March 2020. In the absence of vaccines or curative medical treatment, COVID-19 exerts an unprecedented global impact on public health and health care delivery. Owing to the unexpected need for large capacities of intensive care unit (ICU) beds with the ability to provide respiratory support and mechanical ventilation, temporary r…
Eight studies involving 105,861 participants were eligible. New LBBB was associated with higher mortality at 30 days (OR: 2.10, 95% CI 1.27 to 3.48) and 1-year follow up (OR: 2.81, 95% CI 1.64 to 4.80), and increased heart failure risk (OR: 2.64, 95% CI 1.84 to 3.77).
Ischemic complications are a common cause of neurological deficits following low-grade glioma (LGG) surgeries. In this study, the authors evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and long-term implications of intraoperative ischemic events.
Mechanical thrombectomy is the established treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). The authors sought to identify early predictors of a favorable outcome in stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy
