    Abstract Objectives: This study's purpose is to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of patients presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with takotsubo syndrome complicated by respiratory failure or shock.
    Background: The presentation of takotsubo syndrome mimics acute myocardial infarction. It is often diagnosed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory when no coronary obstruction is found. A subset of these patients develops shock or respiratory failure.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent cardiac catheterization at the Kaiser Permanente Southern California health system with takotsubo syndrome between 2006 to 2016. Medical records were manually reviewed to identify patient characteristics, treatment, and clinical outcomes.
    Results: Among 530 patients with takotsubo syndrome, 56 (10.6%) developed shock or respiratory failure and required mechanical or inotropic support. A higher proportion of these patients were men (14.3% vs 5.7%) and Black (10.7% vs 7.0%). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, factors associated with respiratory failure or shock were age (odds ratio [OR], 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.94-0.99; P=.02), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-3.5; P=.02), chronic kidney disease (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.3-5.3; P=.01), physical trigger (OR, 5.7; 95% CI, 3.0-10.8; P<.01), and ST elevation on the presenting electrocardiogram (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4-4.8; P=.04). Patients who required mechanical ventilation or inotropic support had significantly higher mortality (hazard ratio, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.1-7.1; P<.001).
    Conclusion: Shock or respiratory failure occur in 10.6% of patients presenting with takotsubo syndrome. Men and patients with baseline respiratory or renal disease were disproportionally affected. These patients have significantly worse clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in young patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to report their characteristics and clinical outcomes.
    Background: Underlying renal dysfunction is a risk factor for poor cardiovascular outcomes in older patients. The implication of CKD in young patients with AMI is not well studied.
    Methods: This is a retrospective population-based cohort study of patients aged 18-50 who presented with AMI between 2006 and 2016. Medical records were reviewed to confirm diagnosis and to identify treatment and long-term outcomes. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association of CKD with mortality.
    Results: Among 1753 young patients with type 1 AMI (median age 45 years, 85.3% male), CKD was present in 112 (6.8%) patients. A higher proportion of CKD patients had concomitant hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and obesity. Use of statin and P2Y12 inhibitors post-AMI was lower in CKD patients. Over a median follow-up of 7.2 years, CKD was associated with higher all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 9.3; 95% CI, 6.3-13.8]. This association persisted after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, and treatment (adjusted HR, 3.6; 95% CI, 2.2-6.0).
    Conclusion: Presence of CKD was associated with 3.6-fold higher mortality over a median follow-up of 7.2 years. A lower proportion of CKD patients were treated with statin therapy and P2Y12 inhibitors. These findings highlight the need for intensive risk factor modification and optimal use of guideline-directed medical therapies in this high-risk population.

    Abstract A 53-year-old woman underwent a cardiac catheterization for evaluation of acute coronary syndrome. The coronary angiogram revealed evidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in multiple coronary arteries including the left anterior descending artery, posterior descending artery, and posterior left ventricular artery. Further diagnostic imaging revealed associated bilateral vertebral artery and renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Follow-up coronary angiogram 6 weeks later revealed a "string of beads" appearance of the posterior descending artery. This case highlights the importance of extra-coronary imaging for FMD and demonstrates angiogram findings suggestive of coronary FMD.

    Abstract Background/objectives: Older patients are underrepresented in acute coronary syndrome clinical trials. We sought to evaluate the benefits of revascularization in patients aged 80 years and older presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    Design: Retrospective study utilizing inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).
    Setting: Single tertiary referral center for an integrated healthcare system in southern California.
    Participants: Patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography for AMI between 2009 and 2019, and subsequently treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or medical therapy alone.
    Measurements: All-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and repeated revascularization.
    Results: A total of 1,433 patients aged 80 years or older (median age = 83.5 years; 66% male) presenting with AMI who underwent treatment with PCI (50%), CABG (12%), or medical therapy alone (38%) were included. Those treated with medical therapy were more likely to be Black, had one or more chronic total occlusions in any vessel, had more comorbidities, and had lower left ventricular ejection fraction. Baseline characteristics were well balanced after IPTW adjustment. Median follow-up was 2.6 years. Revascularization (PCI or CABG) was associated with reduced mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.60-0.73) and nonfatal MI (HR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.58-0.78), but an increased need for repeated revascularization (HR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.15-2.23). Separately comparing PCI or CABG alone versus medical therapy yielded similar results. Revascularization was associated with lower mortality in all subgroups, except in Black patients and those with prior CABG.
    Conclusion: Revascularization is superior to medical therapy in reducing all-cause mortality and nonfatal MI in patients aged 80 years and older with AMI. Age alone should not preclude patients from potentially beneficial invasive therapies.

    Abstract A 16-year-old female with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome underwent catheter ablation of a left-sided lateral accessory pathway. The accessory pathway was eliminated with the first ablation lesion; however, the patient immediately developed complete heart block (CHB). At first, complete heart block was thought to be due to ablation of left atrial extension of the AV node, and pacemaker therapy was considered. However, careful ECG analysis revealed that the development of CHB was in fact due to bump injury to the AV node during transseptal catheterization. Conservative management allowed resolution of AV nodal conduction without need for a permanent pacemaker.

    Abstract The Roka Listeria Detection Assay was compared to the reference culture methods for nine select foods and three select surfaces. The Roka method used Half-Fraser Broth for enrichment at 35 +/- 2 degrees C for 24-28 h. Comparison of Roka's method to reference methods requires an unpaired approach. Each method had a total of 545 samples inoculated with a Listeria strain. Each food and surface was inoculated with a different strain of Listeria at two different levels per method. For the dairy products (Brie cheese, whole milk, and ice cream), our method was compared to AOAC Official Method(SM) 993.12. For the ready-to-eat meats (deli chicken, cured ham, chicken salad, and hot dogs) and environmental surfaces (sealed concrete, stainless steel, and plastic), these samples were compared to the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Food Safety and Inspection Service-Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook (USDA/FSIS-MLG) method MLG 8.07. Cold-smoked salmon and romaine lettuce were compared to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration/Bacteriological Analytical Manual, Chapter 10 (FDA/BAM) method. Roka's method had 358 positives out of 545 total inoculated samples compared to 332 positive for the reference methods. Overall the probability of detection analysis of the results showed better or equivalent performance compared to the reference methods.

    Abstract Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Bb, the active fragment of complement factor B (fB), has been reported to be a predictor of preeclampsia. However, conflicting results have been found by some investigators. We hypothesized that the disagreement in findings may be due to the racial/ethnic differences among various study groups, and that fB activation is significant in women of an ethnic minority with preeclampsia. We investigated the maternal and fetal levels of Bb (the activated fB fragment) in pregnant women of an ethnic minority with or without preeclampsia. We enrolled 291 pregnant women (96% of an ethnic minority, including 78% African-American). Thirteen percent of these were diagnosed with preeclampsia. Maternal venous blood was collected from all participants together with fetal umbilical cord blood samples from 154 deliveries in the 291 women. The results were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and multivariate analyses. Maternal Bb levels were significantly higher in the preeclamptic group than in the nonpreeclamptic group. Levels of Bb in fetal cord blood were similar in both groups. Subgroup analyses of African-American patients' results confirmed the study hypothesis that there would be a significant increase in Bb in the maternal blood of the preeclamptic group and no increase in Bb in the fetal cord blood of this group. These results suggest that a maternal immune response through complement fB might play a role in the development of preeclampsia, particularly in African-American patients.

    Abstract The Atlas Salmonella detection assay was compared to the reference culture methods for 12 foods and three surfaces. Comparison of the Atlas method to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Bacteriological Analytical Manual (FDA/BAM) and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Food Safety and Inspection Service/Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook (USDA-FSIS/MLG) reference methods required an unpaired approach. Each method had a total of 320 samples inoculated with an S. enterica strain. Each food and surface was inoculated with a different strain of S. enterica at two different levels/ method. Meat and egg products were compared to the USDA-FSIS/MLG 4.05 method. All other foods were compared to the FDA/BAM-5 method. The Atlas method had 148 positives out of 320 total inoculated samples, compared to 119 positives for the reference methods. Overall, the probability of detection analysis of the results showed equivalent or better performance by the Atlas Salmonella detection method compared to the reference methods. The Atlas Salmonella detection assay detected all 100 inclusive organisms and none of the 30 exclusive organisms. The lot-to-lot and kit stability studies showed no statistical differences between lots or over the term of the shelf-life. Instrument-to-instrument testing showed no statistical difference between instruments. Finally, the robustness study showed no difference when the sample volume added to the Atlas Salmonella detection assay varied by 10%, storage time was extended up to 5 days before analysis, or enrichment times were varied from 12 to 24 h.
