The current and future status of inotropes in heart failure management
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2023 Jul 17. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2023.2237869. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome with a wide range of presentations and acuity, ranging from outpatient care to inpatient management due to acute decompensated HF, cardiogenic shock or advanced HF. Frequently, the etiology of a patient's decompensation is diminished cardiac output and peripheral hypoperfusion. Consequently, there is a need for use of inotropes, agents that increase cardiac contractility, optimize hemodynamics and ensure adequate perfusion.AREAS COVERED: Inotropes are divided into...

Contemporary outcomes of long-term anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients: a regression matched sensitivity analysis of the national inpatient sample
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to COVID-19 patients not on long-term anticoagulation, we observed lower in-hospital mortality, stroke and acute myocardial infarction in COVID-19 patients on long-term anticoagulation. Prospective studies are needed for optimal anticoagulation strategies in hospitalized patients.PMID:37409406 | DOI:10.1080/14779072.2023.2234282 (Source: Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy)
