0436: Diagnostic value of serial ultrasensible troponin I measurements for acute coronary syndrome identification in cardiac intensive care unit
2014
Introduction ACS diagnosis relies on the detection of an increase or a decrease in troponin levels (delta-TnI) that might be estimated as absolute (delta-TnI-abs) or relative value (delta-TnI-rel). The discriminative cut-off value of delta-TnI to identify ACS in patients admitted in ICU is a matter of debate. Methods We aimed to determine in a monocentric registry the cut-off value of delta-TnI to identify ACS among patients admitted in ICU with a suspicion of acute myocardial ischemia. All the patients had 2 measurements of ultrasensible cTnI (ADVIA Centaur Siemens®; 99th percentile: 0,04 μg/L). Patients were classified in 4 groups: 1) ACS (NSTEMI, UA), 2) Cardiac non coronary diseases (he…
Temporal Trends in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in France
2017
Background - Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is standard therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk. However, national data regarding procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes over time are limited. Objectives - The aim of this study was to assess nationwide performance trends and clinical outcomes of TAVR during a 6-year period. Methods - TAVRs performed in 48 centers across France between January 2013 and December 2015 were prospectively included in the FRANCE TAVI (French Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry. Findings were further compared with those reported from the FRANCE 2 (French Aortic National CoreValve and Edwa…
