Related Articles Survival after resection of primary Cardiac tumors: a 48-year experience. Circulation. 2008 Sep 30;118(14 Suppl):S7-15 Authors: Elbardissi AW, Dearani JA, Daly RC, Mullany CJ, Orszulak TA, Puga FJ, Schaff HV BACKGROUND: Primary Cardiac tumors are rare but have the potential to cause significant morbidity if not treated in an appropriate and timely manner. To date, however, there have been no studies examining survival characteristics of patients who undergo surgical resection. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 1957 to 2006, 323 consecutive patients underwent surgical resection of primary Cardiac tumors; 163 (50%) with myxomas, 83 (26%) with papillary fibroelastomas, 18 (6%) with fibromas, 12 (4%) with lipomas, 28 (9%) with other benign primary Cardiac tumors, and 19 (6%) with primary malignant tumors. Operative (30 day) mortality was 2% (n=6). Univariate analysis indicated that patients who underwent resection of fibromas and myxomas had superior survival characteristics in comparison to the remainder of tumor variants; these results were consistent after adjusting for age at surgery, year of surgery, and cardiovascular risk factors. Based on actuarial characteristics of the 2002 U.S. population, patients who underwent myxoma resection had survival characteristics that were not significantly different from that of an age and gender matched population (SMR 1.11, P=0.57) whereas those who underwent resection of fibromas (SMR 1 ...

Related Articles Automatic Referral to Cardiac Rehabilitation. J Cardiovasc Nurs. 2008 Sep 29; Authors: Fischer JP The pervasive negative impact of cardiovascular disease in the United States is well documented. Although advances have been made, the campaign to reduce the occurrence, progression, and mortality continues. Determining evidence-based data is only half the battle. Implementing new and updated clinical guidelines into daily practice is a challenging task. Cardiac rehabilitation is an example of a proven intervention whose benefit is hindered through erratic implementation. The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the American Heart Association (AHA) have responded to this problem by publishing the AACVPR/ACC/AHA 2007 Performance Measures on Cardiac Rehabilitation for Referral to and Delivery of Cardiac Rehabilitation/Secondary Prevention Services. This new national guideline recommends automatic referral to Cardiac rehabilitation for every eligible patient (performance measure A-1). This article offers guidance for the initiation of an automatic referral system, including individualizing your protocol with regard to electronic or paper-based order entry structures.

Related Articles Cardiocerebral resuscitation: a better approach to Cardiac arrest. Curr Opin Cardiol. 2008 Nov;23(6):579-84 Authors: Ewy GA PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To present a new approach to patients with Cardiac arrest that improves neurologically normal survival. It is called cardiocerebral resuscitation (CCR), rather than cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as the major goal in Cardiac arrest is to resuscitate the heart and the brain. CCR has three components: continuous chest compressions cardiopulmonary resuscitation for bystanders; a different Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) algorithm for Emergency Medical System; and a recently added aggressive postresuscitation care for resuscitated but comatose patients that includes therapeutic hypothermia and early catheterization/intervention. RECENT FINDINGS: Kellum et al. instituted the first two components of CCR in rural Wisconsin in 2004. In the subgroup of patients with a witnessed Cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm they found that neurological intact survival at hospital discharge was 15% the preceding 3 years, when the 2000 Guidelines were being followed, but 40% for the 3 years during CCR. Bobrow et al. instituted CCR for out-of-hospital Cardiac arrest in metropolitan areas of Arizona and found a greater than 300% improvement (4.7-17.6%) in survival to hospital discharge of this subgroup of patients. SUMMARY: CCR improves survival of patients with Cardiac arrest. PMID: 18830073 [P ... Source: chat.indiatimes.com --- 6 days ago

The Carolina Panthers are supposed to be the Cardiac franchise in Charlotte, but Wachovia's overnight end run is creating just as much drama. Much like our NFL team, the hometown bank has Carolina hearts pounding. Wachovia dazzled the city Friday morning when it spurned a tentative acquisition agreement with Citigroup and announced it was being purchased by Wells Fargo & Co. Shareholders, employees and city boosters applauded. Instead of settling for a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.-engineered plan that would have broken up the bank, Wells' offer would leave it intact and make Charlotte the East Coast headquarters for retail and corporate banking of the combined operation. “It's a great deal for Charlotte – for taxpayers, the shareholders, Wachovia employees and the citizens of Charlotte,” said UNC Charlotte's Tony Plath, associate professor of banking and finance. But as Cardiac Cats fans know all too well, the game is never over until the clock expires. Citi hasn't given up on its acquisition, and its officials are revving up the offense. One Citi executive told the Observer the company would move the combined retail bank and other businesses to Charlotte and not cut any retail banking postions. In earlier communications, it had committed only to a “strong presence” in the city. Financial analysts watching the Citi proposal said employment cuts in Charlotte would be inevitable. They estimated the deal could eliminate as many as ... Source: www.washingtonmonthly.com --- 9 days ago

Felix Salmon submits: John Burbank of Passport Capital appeared at the Value Investing Congress this morning. I'm getting inured to scary prognoses at this point, but he managed to scare me by saying that [[GE]], which is having difficulty rolling over its paper, and which has 22 times as many assets as it has tangible equity, is "at great, great risk of going bankrupt". "The global capital markets system has had a heart attack," said Burbank, "and the policymakers are prescribing exercise and vitamins." If they really want to unblock things, they'll need to try something much more drastic: Burbank was talking about amounts as large as $5 trillion which could be injected into the system today, and taken out only when it was no longer needed.
