Four pillars of heart failure: contemporary ... - Open Heart
Mar 2, 2021 · The past two decades have heralded dramatic improvements in outcomes for people living with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). 1 The more widespread implementation of disease modifying pharmacological therapies,2 supported by landmark trials of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors3 and beta-blockers4 have improved longevity despite a background of an ageing and increasingly ...
Changes in systolic blood pressure during hospitalisation and …
Dec 22, 2024 · Background Hypertension is a risk factor for bleeding events and is included in the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal renal/liver function, Stroke, Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol concomitantly)score. However, the effects of blood pressure (BP) and changes in BP on bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain ...

Diagnosis is made by echocardiogram; however, this procedure is not widely available, especially in remote hospitals. Various electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, including the Crochetage
Optimal timing of oral anticoagulation initiation in patients with ...
Nov 27, 2024 · The optimal timing for initiating direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for secondary stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute ischaemic stroke remains controversial due to concerns about haemorrhagic transformation. This study aimed to analyse the efficacy and safety of early versus late DOAC initiation. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and ...
Myo-inositol for insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ...
Mar 2, 2022 · Myo-inositol, also known as inositol (cyclohexanehexol), is a cyclic carbohydrate with six hydroxyl groups.1 For a long time, it was considered a B vitamin (vitamin B8). However, it is not considered an essential nutrient because it is formed from glucose. Each kidney makes around 2 g of myo-inositol per day, and the average dietary intake is 0.5–1.0 g/day.2 3 The liver and brain also ...

3 days ago · Results In a cohort of 109 patients following Fontan procedure, 51 patients were women, and 19 patients (37%) had a pregnancy during the follow-up period, accounting for a total of 46 pregnancies. Intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus was common, observed in 23% of all pregnancies and 50% of live births. The main fetal complication was prematurity, observed in 43% of all pregnancies and ...
Timing of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients after ...
Sep 17, 2024 · Results Among 708 registry patients with known AF before stroke and hospitalisation within 72 hours after stroke, 432 were anticoagulated at stroke onset. OAC was started according to the ‘1–3–6–12 days rule’ in 255 (39.2%) patients. Non-adherence to the ‘1–3–6–12 days rule’ was not associated with the composite endpoint within 3 months in 661 patients who (re-)started on ...
Effect of optimisation to contemporary HFrEF medical therapy with ...
Dec 1, 2024 · Introduction Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) guidelines recommend ‘four pillars’ of medical therapy and device therapy if left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains ≤35% after 3 months optimum medical therapy.We conducted the first study to examine the effects of optimisation to contemporary medical therapy on cardiac reverse remodelling, as demonstrated by ...

Nov 9, 2024 · Introduction. Myocarditis is an inflammatory process of the myocardium, and the most common cause is a viral infection such as influenza or coronaviruses.1 While most cases of viral myocarditis are mild with good prognosis, life-threatening cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias may occur.2 3 Myocarditis can result in heart failure and sudden cardiac death and has been recognised as a rare ...
