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 ...
Acute Effects of Levosimendan and Dobutamine on QRS Duration in Patients with Heart Failure
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2010)
Background: Levosimendan is a novel inotropic agent that enhances cardiac contractility without increasing cellular calcium intake, so that it is not supposed to cause intracellular calcium overload and related arrhythmias. ...
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 ...
Heart and brain interaction in patients with heart failure: overview and proposal for a taxonomy. A position paper from the Study Group on Heart and Brain Interaction of the Heart Failure Association
(WILEY, 2018)
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome with multiple interactions between the failing myocardium and cerebral (dys-)functions. Bi-directional feedback interactions between the heart and the brain are inherent ...
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 ...
Usefulness of admission gamma-glutamyltransferase level for predicting new-onset heart failure in patients with acute coronary syndrome with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(2014)
Objectives: Our aim was to determine whether there is a relationship between admission gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and subsequent heart failure hospitalizations in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Study design: ...
Lymphocytopenia is associated with poor NYHA functional class in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Objective: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Lymphocyte count is currently recognized in ...
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 ...
