Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)
Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ...

Designing phase 3 sepsis trials: application of learned experiences from critical care trials in acute heart failure
(BMC, 2016)
Substantial attention and resources have been directed to improving outcomes of patients with critical illnesses, in particular sepsis, but all recent clinical trials testing various interventions or strategies have failed ...
Comparison of Ultrafiltration and Intravenous Diuretic Therapies in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Decompensated Biventricular Heart Failure
(TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2016)
OBJECTIVE: Studies comparing ultrafiltration and diuretics in management of ADHF have shown controversial results. In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous diuretic therapy and ultrafiltration in ...
Role of CA-125 in Identification of Right Ventricular Failure in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disease. Cor pulmonale, characterized by right ventricular (RV) failure, can severely influence prognosis in these patients. Hence, ...
Relation of Serum Parathyroid Hormone Level to Severity of Heart Failure
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012)
Increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) level is associated with all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). However its role for identifying advanced HF has not been previously studied. We aimed to investigate ...

Catalyzing Transcriptomics Research in Cardiovascular Disease: The CardioRNA COST Action CA17129
(MDPI, 2019)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide and, despite continuous advances, better diagnostic and prognostic tools, as well as therapy, are needed. The human transcriptome, which is the set ...
Impact of diuretic dosing on mortality in acute heart failure using a propensity-matched analysis
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2011)
Aims Loop diuretics are recommended to treat congestion in heart failure (HF), despite limited quality evidence. High-dose (HD) loop diuretics seem to worsen outcomes in chronic HF, though; data for acute HF are scarce, ...
