Association between cardiac rehabilitation participation and health status outcomes after acute myocardial infarction
(2014)Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a class Ia recommendation and endorsed performance measure for the quality of care in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) survivors. While participation in CR after AMI is associated with reduced ... -
Association Between Myocardial Ischemia, Microvascular Function and Patient-Reported Angina
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Prior studies have not found an association between myocardial ischemia and measures of health status. Whether positron emission tomography (PET)-derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) would be better correlated with ... -
Association of chronic self-perceived stress with mortality and health status outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease: insights from the portrait registry
(2020)The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is increasing worldwide and is estimated to affect about 360 million patients by 2030. Patients with PAD are at a higher risk of premature mortality and suffer from disability ... -
The Association of Socioeconomic Status with Mortality and Hospital Length of Stay in Patients with Parapneumonic Empyema
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Background: Parapneumonic empyema is an uncommon but serious complication of pneumonia. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the prevalence of empyema may be on the rise. The aim of this study is to estimate the current ... -
