Influence of influenza vaccination on recurrent hospitalization in patients with heart failure
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2017)
The current study aimed to evaluate the influence of regular annual influenza vaccinations on cardiovascular (CV) death and heart failure-related hospitalizations (HFrH) in stable outpatients with heart failure with reduced ...
Association of soluble ST2 with functional capacity in outpatients with heart failure
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2018)
Background. Biomarkers play an important role in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure (HF). Recent studies have shown that soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin 1 ...
Diagnosis and follow up of patients with primary cardiac tumours: a single-centre experience of myxomas
(CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2011)
Objective: In this study, 12 patients who were diagnosed as having cardiac tumours and were operated on in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery following referral from the Department of Cardiology were enrolled between ...
Anatomic assessment of the left main bifurcation and dynamic bifurcation angles using computed tomography angiography
(VIA MEDICA, 2017)
Background: An understanding of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) anatomy is important for accurate diagnosis and therapy. We aimed to investigate LMCA anatomy via 128-multisliced coronary computed-tomography-angiography ...
Cancer antigen 125 levels and increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2015)
Elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels are associated with cardiopulmonary disorders such as acute and chronic heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation ...
Prescription patterns in patients with systolic heart failure at hospital discharge: why beta blockers are underprescribed or prescribed at low dose in real life?
(WILEY, 2007)
Systolic heart failure (SHF) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Beta-blockers (BB) were shown to provide mortality benefit in patients with SHF, and currently indicated in all stages of patients with ...
Management of atrial fibrillation in the Emergency Department: current approach and future expectations
(VERDUCI PUBLISHER, 2013)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia and occurs in 3.3%-10% of emergency admissions. It is frequently quoted for people over the age of 75, but the cases of AF in young subjects without structural ...
Acute heart failure with accompanying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Should we focus on beta blockers?
(URBAN & VOGEL, 2012)
Background. Acute heart failure (AHF) with systolic dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and optimal therapy is not well established, despite the findings of evidence-based medicine. Beta ...
Elastic properties of aorta in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2006)
In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether hyperpara thyroidism affects the elastic properties of aorta, calculated as aortic distensibility and aortic stiffness index. Eighteen patients with hyperparathyroidism were ...
Clinical presentation, management and outcomes in the Acute Heart Failure Global Survey of Standard Treatment (ALARM-HF)
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Purpose: We performed a survey on acute heart failure (AHF) in nine countries in four continents. We aimed to describe characteristics and management of AHF among various countries, to compare patients with de novo AHF ...
