Initiating sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) in heart failure: results of TITRATION, a double-blind, randomized comparison of two uptitration regimens
(WILEY, 2016)
AimsTo assess the tolerability of initiating/uptitrating sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) from 50 to 200 mg twice daily (target dose) over 3 and 6 weeks in heart failure (HF) patients (ejection fraction 35%). Methods and ...
Efficacy of levosimendan in patients with chronic heart failure: Does rhythm matter?
(AVES YAYINCILIK, 2010)
Objective: Leyosimendan is a relatively new inotropic agent. Unlike other inotropic agents, Levosimendan does not increase cellular calcium intake, so that, does not cause intracellular calcium overload and related ...

Liver function abnormalities, clinical profile, and outcome in acute decompensated heart failure
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2013)
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) and the associated clinical profile and outcome(s) in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients. Alteration in LFTs is a ...
Hyponatremia is associated with occurrence of atrial fibrillation in outpatients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction
(Hellenic Cardiological Society, 2018)
Objectives: Hyponatremia and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been established as strong predictors for worse clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, little is known about hyponatremia in relation to ...
Elevated neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is associated with appropriate shock after ICD implantation [Artan nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ICD ımplantasyonu sonrası uygun şok ile ılişkilidir]
(2016)
Aim: Neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio is associated with prognosis in cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, and heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic significance in ...
