FDA granted CardiAMP Cell Therapy a Breakthrough Device Designation for the treatment of ischemic heartfailure. Leslie Miller, MD , trial investigator at the CHF Heart Function Clinic at BayCare Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida and a member of the CardiAMP HeartFailure II Study Executive Steering Committee. “As
Background The obesity occurrence has achieved epidemic levels worldwide and several studies indicate a paradoxical similarity among obesity and the prognosis in heartfailure (HF). Methods We analyzed 1,556 medical records from the HF outpatient clinic of a quaternary hospital and 242 were selected according to the criteria.
Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) carries a 3050% in-hospital mortality rate, with little improvement in outcomes in the last decade. Temporal change in such biomarkers, particularly in response to pharmacological interventions and/or mechanical circulatory support, can guide management and predict outcome.
In about 70 percent of cases, patients with HCM experience obstruction to blood flow, which increases pressures in the heart and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity. The late breaking research was presented by principal investigator Martin S. Cytokinetics Inc. provided the funding for this study.
In the QUEST trial, QLQX reduced the combined risk of cardiovascular death or heartfailurehospitalization (hazard ratio 0.78, 95% confidence interval 0.68–0.90), Taken collectively, these observations support a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanism of action for QLQX in heartfailure.
Background: Midodrine is occasionally used off-label to treat hypotension associated with advanced heartfailure. Objectives: We sought to evaluate the effect of midodrine upon the GDMT prescription pattern and clinical outcomes of patients with decompensated systolic heartfailure.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundThe effects of pharmacological therapy on cardiogenic shock (CS) survivors have not been extensively studied.
Guidelines recommend intravenous (IV) loop diuretics as first-line therapy for patients hospitalized with acute heartfailure (AHF) and volume overload. Guidelines recommend intravenous (IV) loop diuretics as first-line therapy for patients hospitalized with acute heartfailure (AHF) and volume overload.
Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel class of anti-diabetic medications which have proved capable of providing breakthrough cardiovascular benefits in a variety of clinical scenarios, including patients with heartfailure or obesity, irrespective of diabetic status.
AF increases the risk of stroke, heartfailure, dementia, and hospitalization. Obesity significantly increases AF risk, both directly and indirectly, through related conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, and heartfailure. ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia.
ABSTRACT: Management of heartfailure (HF) requires the use of loop diuretics to relieve congestion and improve symptoms. The primary objective was to evaluate the association of serum albumin level with urine output (UOP) in hospitalized HF patients who received concomitant albumin and loop diuretic therapy. 95% CI -1558.6,
Introduction The incidence of arrhythmia in heartfailure with non-reduced ejection fraction (HFnon-rEF) in patients who have a history of hospitalisation is unclear.
Abstract: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heartfailure (HF). There were 551 events (10.36%) of hospitalization for HF in the SGLT2i group, compared to 751 (14.11%) in the placebo group with an HR of 0.71, 95% CI of 0.62 to 0.86 (p<0.0001). to 0.81 (p<0.0001).
Wang’s research lab, which recently relocated to USF from Harvard Medical School where he was a professor working at Boston Children’s Hospital. Major damage from injury to the heart, often as a result of a severe heart attack, can lead to heartfailure because the heart is no longer able to contract normally.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common and serious disease for which open heart surgery and symptomatic pharmacologic treatment are the current standard treatment options. Owing to high mortality risk, access to open heart surgery is severely restricted and is not considered an option for most patients with TR.
Abstract: Recent studies have revealed the benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in heartfailure patients. Patients treated with SGLT2i exhibited a significantly lower rate of hospitalization for heartfailure (HF) (OR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.32-0.80) 0.80) and all-cause death (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.44–0.95)
There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heartfailure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1] Is the obesity paradox a real phenomenon?
Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and complex coronary artery disease (CAD) face a poor prognosis, including increased heartfailure (HF) risk. All three CAD complexity scores (SYNTAX, SYNTAX II and Gensini) were associated with an increased risk of adverse events (HR 1.02 to 1.06, all p-values ≤0.025).
Crit Care Med 1991; 19:694) Concentrated Potassium Chloride Infusions in Critically Ill Patients with Hypokalemia The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Thus, hypokalemia is prevalent immediately after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, whereas it is uncommon in AMI in the absence of cardiac arrest. However, the mean level (2.50.4
Author continued : STE in aVR is often due to left main coronary artery obstruction (OR 4.72), and is associated with in-hospital cardiovascular mortality (OR 5.58). In cardiogenic shock, fluid may worsen the pulmonary edema associated with acute heartfailure, but may still be required to support the hemodynamic status of the patient.
