Prognostic scales in dilated cardiomyopathy – Past, present, and future.
In the ever-evolving realm of contemporary medicine, the skill of accurate prognostication stands as an indispensable pillar, bearing equal weight with the essential arts of prompt clinical diagnosis and robust therapeutic intervention strategies. Across decades, cardiology has methodically crafted an array of prognostic tools, primarily addressing prevalent diseases such as coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure (HF). Rooted in expansive multi-centre registries and randomized trials, each with their own specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, these models naturally vary in terms of study popula...

A pilot study of S100A4, S100A8/A9, and S100A12 in dilated cardiomyopathy: novel biomarkers for diagnosis or prognosis?
ConclusionsS100A4, S100A8/A9, and S100A12 may be additional diagnostic tools for human DCM recognition, and the combination of these three indicators helped to improve the accuracy of a single index to diagnose DCM. Additionally, S100A4 was identified as a significant predictor of prognosis in patients with DCM. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Indications and Effectiveness of ICD for Primary and Secondary Prevention in Patients Admitted in Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital since 2017
CONCLUSIONS: ICMP was the main cause of ICD implantation for the prevention of SCD in both groups. At follow-up, the high prevalence of appropriate ICD therapy was observed in both groups, and this risk was slightly higher in the secondary prevention group.PMID:38073733 | PMC:PMC10699239 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_338_21 (Source: Atherosclerosis)
