Prognostic Implications of Tissue Doppler Imaging-Derived E/Ea Ratio in Acute Heart Failure Patients
Background Tissue Doppler–derived transmitral to mitral annular early diastolic velocity ratio (E/Ea), as a noninvasive estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures, is a strong prognosticator in various cardiac scenarios including chronic heart failure; nevertheless, its utility for risk stratification in the whole spectrum of acute heart failure (AHF) patients remains elusive. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the association between E/Ea ratio and 1-year mortality in nonselected patients with AHF. Methods The study included 417 consecutive patients admitted for AHF. Twenty-two patients were excluded due to nonaccurate Ea measurements, leaving the final sample to be 39…
Nocturnal blood pressure and progression to end-stage renal disease or death in nondiabetic chronic kidney disease stages 3 and 4
Objective The objective was to assess the role of office and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) on the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in nondiabetic chronic renal failure. Design and method Seventy-nine patients [mean age 57 (standard deviation 11) years, 47 men, BMI 28 (4), office BP 151 (25)/92 (14) mmHg, estimated glomerular filtration rate 28 (14) ml/min per 1.73 m3] were included. The causes of renal disease were nephrosclerosis (n = 33), glomerulonephritis (n = 19), interstitial (n = 12) and others (n = 15). The average follow-up was 44 months (range 9-72 months). The primary outcome was a composite of death, from any cause, or the development of ESRD that require initiatio…
