Continuous heart monitoring to evaluate treatment effects in pulmonary hypertension

Open Heart

Background The treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has improved rapidly in recent decades. There is increasing evidence to support the role of early intervention and treatment in affecting clinical outcomes in PH. Methods Patients were compared before and after treatment escalation.

Prognostic impact of follow-up pulmonary vascular resistance in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Open Heart

Objective Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), caused by pulmonary artery remodelling and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) due to an unknown mechanism, is an intractable disease with a poor prognosis. The primary outcome was death or lung transplantation.

Trends in Ductus Arteriosus Stent Versus Blalock?Taussig?Thomas Shunt Use and Comparison of Cost, Length of Stay, and Short?Term Outcomes in Neonates With Ductal?Dependent Pulmonary Blood Flow: An Observational Study Using the Pediatric Health Information Systems Database

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe modified Blalock‐Taussig‐Thomas shunt is the gold standard palliation for securing pulmonary blood flow in infants with ductal‐dependent pulmonary blood flow. Intervention was not significantly associated with odds of 30‐day transplant‐free survival (OR,1.18 [95% CI, 0.70–1.99])

Uric acid in advanced heart failure: relation to central haemodynamics and outcome

Open Heart

Cox models were created to investigate if UA was a significant predictor of adverse outcome where log1.1(UA) UA) was used to estimate the effect on outcome associated with a 10% increase in UA levels. Median UA was 0.48 (0.39–0.61) mmol/L.

Advanced hemodynamics for prognostication in heart failure: the pursuit of the patient-specific tipping point

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Objective tools to define the optimal time for referral for advanced therapies and to help guide escalation and de-escalation of support can improve management decisions and outcomes for patients with advanced heart failure. Results Approximately 1010 discrete heart failure scenarios were modeled.
