Discordance in prognostic ability between physician assessed NYHA classification and self-reported health status in patients with acute heart failure

2021

Abstract Background Especially in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) the NYHA classification remains of uncertain representation of patients' actual health state. Alternatively, patient's subjective well-being, in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQL), showed to have an excellent prognostic ability in out clinic patients with chronic heart failure. Objectives It is unknown whether HRQL instruments can assess a more reliable prognostication in patients hospitalized due to AHF than the NYHA classification. Methods Goal Directed Afterload Reduction in Acute Congestive Cardiac Decompensation Study (GALACTIC) was a multicenter, randomized, open-label blinded-end-point trial that em…

P4550Growth differentiation factor 15 as an integrative biomarker of heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction

2019

Abstract Background Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a stress-responsive cytokine member of the transforming growth factor-β family, is an emerging biomarker in cardiovascular (CV) diseases. GDF15 is weakly expressed in normal condition but increased in pathological situations such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and left ventricular remodeling. Recent data suggest GDF15 as a marker in heart failure (HF). Purpose We aimed to identify the determinants of GDF15 circulating levels in patients admitted for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods In our prospective study, all consecutive patients admitted from June 2016 to February 2018 for type 1 AMI in the Coronary Care unit …

Anticoagulation in Cancer Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Grade 3-4 Thrombocytopenia

2021

Abstract Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is not uncommon in cancer patients with grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <50x10 9/L). The risk of bleeding appears to outweigh the risk of thrombosis in acute leukemia patients. There are no published data regarding management of anticoagulation (AC) and rates of bleeding and thrombosis in other cancer types. Aim: To assess AC management and incidence of bleeding and thrombosis in thrombocytopenic cancer patients with AF. Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study. The study included adults with active cancer, grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <50x10 9/L) and AF with CHA 2DS 2-VASc ≥1, irrespective of AC status pr…

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Versus Vascular Access Induced Hand Ischaemia

2020

Abstract Hand pain is a common complaint in the hemodialysis patient on arteriovenous fistula. The problem is related to its etiology: nervous or vascular, which requires different therapeutic solutions. Ischaemic etiology involves a deviation of the distal flow in the anastomosed vein, with the decrease of the distal flow and the installation of distal ischaemia. Nerve etiology involves compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. The purpose of the paper is to present a case study of diagnosis and treatment of median nerve compression in hemodialysis patient.

Frequency of cardiac arrhythmias in older adults: findings from the subclinical atrial fibrillation and risk of ischemic stroke (SAFARIS) study

2020

Abstract Background Prolonged monitoring of cardiac rhythm has been used in patients with symptomatic arrhythmias and to assess for atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke, but not in the general population and especially in older adults. Purpose To evaluate the frequency of arrhythmias in a community-based cohort of older adults through 14-days continuous cardiac monitoring using a patch-based device. Methods Cardiac rhythm was analyzed in 533 participants free of AF and congestive heart failure (CHF) from the tri-ethnic (white, black, Hispanic) Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation and Risk of Ischemic Stroke (SAFARIS) study. AF, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT, defined as 4 beats o…
