Atrioesophageal fistula following ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation: systematic review of case reports

Patricia Chavez, Franz H. Messerli, +5 authors Stephan B. Danik
Open heart
2015

BACKGROUND Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but serious adverse event of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. OBJECTIVE To identify the clinical characteristics of AEF following ablation… (More)

Malnutrition as assessed by nutritional risk index is associated with worse outcome in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure: an ACAP-HF data analysis

Emad F. Aziz, Fahad Javed, +6 authors Marrick L. Kukin
Heart international
2011

Malnutrition is common at hospital admission and tends to worsen during hospitalization. This controlled population study aimed to determine if serum albumin or moderate and severe nutritional… (More)

Computational method to predict esophageal temperature elevations during pulmonary vein isolation.

Dan L. Musat, Emad F. Aziz, +4 authors Jonathan S Steinberg
Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE
2010

BACKGROUND The esophagus is in close proximity to the posterior wall of the left atrium, which renders it susceptible to thermal injury during radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures for atrial… (More)

The utility of 12-lead Holter monitoring in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation for the identification of nonresponders after cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Ganesh Sevagur Kamath, Delia Cotiga, +6 authors Jonathan S Steinberg
Journal of the American College of Cardiology
2009

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the incidence of ineffective capture using 12-lead Holter monitoring and to assess whether this affects response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).… (More)

High dose statin loading prior to percutaneous coronary intervention decreases cardiovascular events: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions…
2015

OBJECTIVE We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of statin loading prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Statin loading prior to PCI has been shown to… (More)

Success in implementing a hospital-wide evidence-based clinical pathways system for the management of cardiac patients: the ACAP program experience.

Emad F. Aziz, Balaji Pratap, +5 authors Eyal Herzog
Critical pathways in cardiology
2011

There is robust evidence to support the concept that critical pathways, derived from evidence-based guidelines, are an effective strategy for bridging the gap between published guidelines and… (More)

Association of Hypertension and Bone Mineral Density in an Elderly African American Female Population

Fahad Javed, Shahzeb Afsar Khan, +7 authors Eyal Herzog
Journal of the National Medical Association
2012

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that hypertension is inversely correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) as determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometery (DXA) in different ethnic groups. But… (More)

Vascular brachytherapy versus drug-eluting stents in the treatment of in-stent restenosis: A meta-analysis of long-term outcomes.

Alexandre Miguel Benjo, Rhanderson Cardoso, +6 authors J. Stephen Jenkins
Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions…
2016

INTRODUCTION Clinical trials have shown a short-term benefit of drug-eluting stents (DES) compared to vascular brachytherapy (VBT) for treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). The long-term benefits… (More)

Acute conversion of persistent atrial fibrillation during dofetilide initiation.

Delia Cotiga, Aysha Arshad, Emad F. Aziz, Sandeep Joshi, Jayanthi N. Koneru, Jonathan S Steinberg
Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE
2007

BACKGROUND Dofetilide (D) is a highly selective blocker of the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current and was approved for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) based on a… (More)

Increased vascular access complications in patients with renal dysfunction undergoing percutaneous coronary procedures using arteriotomy closure devices.

Emad F. Aziz, Sandeep Pulimi, +9 authors Mun Kyung Hong
The Journal of invasive cardiology
2010

BACKGROUND Arteriotomy closure device (ACD) use has increased following percutaneous transfemoral coronary procedures (PTCP). However, their safety in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is… (More)
