Abstract
PURPOSE The ratio of right ventricular end-diastolic diameter (EDD) to left ventricular EDD (RV/LV) is a measure predictive of right ventricular failure. We hypothesized that an increase in RV/LV would be associated with poor prognosis in severe sepsis and septic shock. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock admitted to a medical intensive care unit (ICU) at a single tertiary care hospital. Patients were identified by ICD-9 codes: 995.92 for severe sepsis and 785.52 for septic shock; and had to have an echocardiogram within 48 h of ICU admission. Increased RV/LV was defined as RV/LV ≥ 0.9. Left and right-sided chamber dimensions were measured according to American Society of Echocardiography guidelines. RESULTS We included 146 consecutive ICU patients admitted with septic shock (72) or severe sepsis (74). There was no significant difference in ICU mortality in patients with RV/LV ≥ 0.9 versus RV/LV < 0.9 (p = .49). CONCLUSIONS An increased RV/LV does not predict mortality in severe sepsis or septic shock.

Abstract
The dietary supplementation of synbiotic in Cirrhinus mrigala juvenile (with initial body weight ranging from 2.87 ± 0.01 g to 3.26 ± 0.05 g) was evaluated in terms of changes in innate immunity, antioxidant activity and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophilla infection. One hundred eighty acclimatized juveniles of mrigal were randomly distributed in the three replicates of each of four experimental groups i.e. control (without Probiotic and Prebiotic), T1 (High Probiotic + Low Prebiotic), T2 (Low Probiotic + High Prebiotic) and T3 (High Probiotic + High Prebiotic), using completely randomized design (CRD). At the end of the feeding trial for 60 days, fish were challenged by Aeromonas hydrophila and survival rate was recorded for the next 15 days. Bacillus subtilis used as a probiotic source and MOS used as a prebiotic source in the experiment. Results showed that innate immunity was comparatively improved in T3 group. Lysozyme activity and respiratory burst activity (NBT) were significantly (P < 0.05) affected in T3 group. Highest activities of antioxidant enzymes (P < 0.05) were reported in T3 group. Cumulative mortality % was found to be lower in the fish fed dietary synbiotic on T3 group after challenging with Aeromonas hydrophilla infection. The results of this study showed that under the experimental conditions, dietary supplementation of synbiotic had a synergestic effect on enhancing innate immunity and disease resistance of Cirrhinus mrigala (P < 0.05).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Variant angina, which is characterized by recurrent chest pain and transient ECG changes along with angiographic evidence of coronary artery spasm, generally has a favorable prognosis. However, episodes of ischemia caused by vasospasm may lead to potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest, even in patients with no history of prior cardiac disease. This review describes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical spectrum, and management of variant angina, as well as outcomes in patients who present with aborted sudden cardiac death (ASCD). RECENT FINDINGS Contrary to prior opinions, evidence from recent observational studies indicate that patients with variant angina presenting with ASCD face a worse prognosis than those without this type of presentation. Predictors of ASCD include age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of sudden cardiac death, multi-vessel spasm, and left anterior descending artery spasm. Medical therapy alone with calcium channel blockers and nitrates may not be sufficiently protective in these patients and there is lack of concrete data on the optimal management strategy. Current guidelines recommend implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients who are survivors of cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation or unstable ventricular tachycardia after reversible causes are excluded, and should strongly be considered in these patients. Although medical therapy is absolutely imperative for patients with variant angina and a history of ASCD, ICD therapy in these patients is justified. Further large-scale studies are required to determine whether ICD therapy can improve survival in this high-risk group of patients.

Abstract
SummaryPulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide, and the use of thrombolytic therapy has been associated with favourable clinical outcomes in certain patient subsets. These potential benefits are counterbalanced by the risk of bleeding complications, the most devastating of which is intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). We retrospectively evaluated 9703 patients from the 2003–2012 nationwide in-patient sample database (NIS) who received thrombolytics for PE. All patients with ICH during the PE hospitalisation were identified and a clinical risk score model was developed utilizing demographics and comorbidities. The dataset was divided 1:1 into derivation and validation cohorts. During 2003–2012, 176/9705 (1.8 %) patients with PE experienced ICH after thrombolytic use. Four independent prognostic factors were identified in a backward logistic regression model, and each was assigned a number of points proportional to its regression coefficient: pre-existing Peripheral vascular disease (1 point), age greater than 65 years (Elderly) (1 point), prior Cerebrovascular accident with residual deficit (5 points), and prior myocardial infarction (Heart attack) (1 point). In the derivation cohort, scores of 0, 1, 2 and ≥ 5 points were associated with ICH risks of 1.2 %, 1.9 %, 2.4 % and 17.8 %, respectively. Rates of ICH were similar in the validation cohort. The C-statistic for the risk score was 0.65 (0.61–0.70) in the derivation cohort and 0.66 (0.60–0.72) in the validation cohort. A novel risk score, derived from simple clinical historical elements was developed to predict ICH in PE patients treated with thrombolytics.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at www.thrombosis-online.com.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transpedal access for the management of complex peripheral artery disease (PAD). INTRODUCTION Critical limb ischemia is associated with high risk of limb loss, as well as cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Transpedal access is a novel, increasingly utilized technique for the management of complex PAD. METHODS We performed a literature search using PubMed from January 2003 to December 2016. Published studies on transpedal access were studied. We evaluated patient sample demographics, procedure indications, access and target vessel, procedural characteristics, outcomes, and complications. RESULTS Ten studies and 881 patients were included in our study. The indication for transpedal access was critical limb ischemia in 68.4% and severe claudication in 29.5%. A chronic total occlusion was present in 93.7% (average occlusion length, 206 mm). Access was achieved by ultrasound in 57.1% and by fluoroscopy in 35.7%. The anterior tibial or dorsalis pedis were accessed in 54.7% and the posterior tibial in 28.0%. The angiographic procedural success rate was 92.6%. The most commonly reported complication was dissection (7.49%), followed by perforation (1.36%) and embolization (1.25%). CONCLUSION Based on the results of this systematic review, transpedal access appears to be a safe and effective technique for complex PAD.

Abstract
Patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease are increasingly treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES); however, the benefits of DES compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in ULMCA remain controversial. This meta-analysis evaluated the effects of PCI with DES compared with CABG for the treatment of ULMCA stenosis. Databases were searched through November 30, 2016. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DES with PCI versus CABG for ULMCA stenosis were identified. We calculated summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs with the random-effects model. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events, defined as a composite of death from any cause, stroke, or myocardial infarction (MI). The analysis included 4,612 patients from 5 RCTs. Compared with CABG, patients assigned to PCI had a similar rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.43), all-cause mortality (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.35), cardiovascular death (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.45), stroke (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.76), and MI (OR 1.47, 95% CI 0.87 to 2.47). The risk of any repeat revascularization was significantly greater in the PCI group than that in the CABG group (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.53 to 2.24). In conclusion, our meta-analysis of RCTs suggest that PCI with DES results in comparable mortality, stroke, and MI compared with CABG for revascularization of ULMCA stenosis, with PCI associated with higher rates of repeat revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding long-term clinical outcomes with everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) versus second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) are scarce. METHODS We searched online databases until October 2016 for studies comparing BVS versus DES reporting outcomes at 2 years of follow-up. We performed a meta-analysis comparing BVS with DES across the spectrum of coronary artery disease (CAD). Random effects model OR was calculated for outcomes of interest including device-oriented composite events (DOCE; defined as composite of cardiac mortality, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI), and ischaemia-driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR)), all-cause mortality, definite stent thrombosis, TV-MI and TLR. RESULTS A total of 2360 patients enrolled in five studies met criteria for inclusion in this analysis. At 2 years, BVS was associated with higher rates of DOCE (6.9% vs 4.5%, OR=1.53; 95% CI 1.06 to 2.23; p=0.02), absolute risk increase (ARI) 2.4%, relative risk increase (RRI) 53%, TV-MI (4% vs 1.8%, OR=1.94; 95% CI 1.02 to 3.67; p=0.04), ARI 2.2%, RRI 122% and definite stent thrombosis (2.1% vs 0.6%, OR=3.39; 95% CI 1.46 to 7.88; p=0.005), ARI 1.5%, RRI 250% compared with DES. No differences in all-cause mortality (OR=0.86; 95% CI 0.26 to 2.81; p=0.80) and TLR (OR=1.44; 95% CI 0.81 to 2.54; p=0.21) were observed between both groups. CONCLUSIONS BVS may be associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes compared with DES. Randomised clinical trials are encouraged to expeditiously report long-term safety and efficacy outcomes and identify predictors of adverse events with BVS compared with DES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) is frequently associated with late cardiovascular (CV) complications. The mean cardiac dose from irradiation of a left-sided breast cancer is much higher than that for a right-sided breast cancer. However, data is limited on the long-term risks of RT on CV mortality. HYPOTHESIS RT for breast cancer is associated with long term CV mortality and left sided RT carries a greater mortality than right sided RT. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane Central, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases from inception through December 2015. Studies reporting CV mortality with RT for left- vs right-sided breast cancers were included. The principal outcome of interest was CV mortality. We calculated summary risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) with the random-effects model. RESULTS The analysis included 289 109 patients from 13 observational studies. Women who had received RT for left-sided breast cancer had a higher risk of CV death than those who received RT for a right-sided breast cancer (RR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.07-1.18, P < 0.001; number needed to harm: 353). Difference in CV mortality between left- vs right-sided breast RT was more apparent after 15 years of follow-up (RR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08-1.41, P < 0.001; number needed to harm: 95). CONCLUSIONS CV mortality from left-sided RT was significantly higher compared with right-sided RT for breast cancer and was more apparent after ≥15 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been associated with reduced risk of myocardial injury in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, but uncertainty about clinical outcomes remains, particularly in the light of 2 recent large randomized clinical trials (RCTs) which were neutral. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of RIPC on clinically relevant outcomes in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, EBSCO, Web of Science and CINAHL databases from inception through November 30, 2015. RCTs that compared the effects of RIPC vs. control in patients undergoing cardiac and/or vascular surgery were selected. We calculated summary random-effect odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The analysis included 5652 patients from 27 RCTs. RIPC reduced the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) (OR 0.72, 95% CI, 0.52 to 1.00; p=0.05; number needed to treat (NNT)=42), acute renal failure (OR 0.73, 95% CI, 0.53 to 1.00; p=0.05; NNT=44) as well as the composite of all cause mortality, MI, stroke or acute renal failure (OR 0.60, 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.90; p=0.01; NNT=25). No significant difference between RIPC and the control groups was observed for the outcome of all-cause mortality (OR 1.10, 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.51). Randomization to RIPC group was also associated with significantly shorter hospital stay (weighted mean difference -0.15days; 95% CI -0.27 to -0.03days). CONCLUSIONS RIPC did not decrease overall mortality, but was associated with less MI and acute renal failure and shorter hospitalizations in patients undergoing cardiac or vascular surgery.
