Analysis of the clinical features and risk factors of kidney injury in patients with chronic heart failure-a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney injury occurred in more than half of the patients with CHF during hospitalization. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in the CHF patients included sex (male), hypertension, and stroke. Kidney injury was positively correlated with age and serum potassium, and negatively correlated with serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, LVEF, and ARB application.PMID:37559657 | PMC:PMC10407521 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1016

Red blood cell distribution width and cardiovascular diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the role of anisocytosis in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases remains uncertain, the considerable evidence available so far suggests that the clinical use of RDW may be broadened beyond the conventional boundaries of erythrocyte disorders, in particular for assisting the diagnosis and prognostication of patients with ACS, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, PAD, HF and AF.

Atrial fibrillation and sleep-disordered breathing.
Authors: Lavergne F, Morin L, Armitstead J, Benjafield A, Richards G, Woehrle H Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common supraventricular arrhythmia that increases in prevalence with increasing age and in the presence of comorbidities such as heart failure (HF). AF increases the risk of a number of serious complications, including stroke and HF. As a result, the rate of hospitalization is high, making AF a costly disease. Treatment strategies for AF are broadly based around rate and rhythm control, either pharmacological or mechanical. There appear to be a number of links between sleep-disordered breathing (SD...

Dealing with surgical left ventricular assist device complications.
Authors: Kilic A, Acker MA, Atluri P Abstract Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) will undoubtedly have an increasing role due to the aging population, anticipated concomitant increase in the prevalence of end-stage heart failure, and improvements in LVAD technology and outcomes. As with any surgical procedure, LVAD implantation is associated with an adverse event profile. Such complications of LVAD therapy include bleeding, infection, pump thrombosis, right heart failure, device malfunction, and stroke. Although each has a unique management, early recognition and diagnosis of these complications is uniformly pa...

Effects of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on the prognosis of patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective, multi-center, randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Early intravenous rhBNP administration after PCI significantly lowered the serum concentrations of cTnT and NT-proBNP, increased LVEDd, SV and LVEF, and reduced MACEs, including cardiac death, in patients with acute anterior MI undergoing PCI. PMID: 28203406 [PubMed - in process]

Predictors and impact of right heart failure severity following left ventricular assist device implantation.
Conclusions: RHF remains a postoperative threat and is associated with worsened surgical outcomes. Ongoing research will reveal further opportunities to mitigate RHF post-LVAD. PMID: 31183166 [PubMed]

Association of early elevated cardiac troponin I concentration and longitudinal change after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and adverse events: a prospective cohort study.
Conclusions: Longitudinal change in cTnI levels within 24 hours and early cTnI concentrations, even less than 1 hour after CABG, are associated with adverse events. These data will be useful in identifying patients at an increased risk of complications. PMID: 33282356 [PubMed]

Increased glucose variability is associated with major adverse events in patients with infective endocarditis undergo surgical treatment
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this retrospective investigation demonstrated that increased GV measured by CV is an independent predictor of postoperative MAEs in patients undergoing surgical treatment for IE.PMID:33717538 | PMC:PMC7947509 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-20-2692
