The interpretation of brain natriuretic peptide in critical care patients; will it ever be useful? [PDF]

, 2010
The measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is recommended for the diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, the prognosis of chronic heart failure is worse if BNP is increased and studies suggest that BNP is useful to guide therapy.

Acute Dyspnea and Decompensated Heart Failure [PDF]

Cardiology Clinics, 2018
The majority of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF) initially present to the emergency department (ED). Correct diagnosis followed by prompt treatment ensures optimal outcomes. Paradoxically, identification of high risk is not the unmet need, given nearly all ED AHF patients are hospitalized; rather, it is identification of low-risk ...

Rolofylline, an adenosine A1−receptor antagonist, in acute heart failure [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Worsening renal function, which is associated with adverse outcomes, often develops in patients with acute heart failure. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that counterregulatory responses mediated by adenosine may be involved. We

Clinical Determinants and Prognostic Implications of Renin and Aldosterone in Patients with Symptomatic Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2020
Aims Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) and has been associated with poor prognosis.

Development and Validation of a Risk Score for Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study in China

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundAlthough several risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) have been identified, early detection of AKI in acute decompensated heart failure patients remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a risk score for early

Do we need a simplified model to predict outcomes in patients hospitalized with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure? Results from The Role of Sodium in Heart Failure Outcomes Prediction (‘SHOUT-PREDICTION’) study

Indian Heart Journal, 2021
Context: Hyponatremia is associated with high in-hospital mortality in patients with acute decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) and is one of the components in various risk scores in heart failure (HF).

A combined clinical and biomarker approach to predict diuretic response in acute heart failure [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Poor diuretic response in acute heart failure is related to poor clinical outcome. The underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology behind diuretic resistance are incompletely understood.

‘Hearts and minds’: association, causation and implication of cognitive impairment in heart failure [PDF]

, 2015
The clinical syndrome of heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalisation and mortality in older adults. An association between cognitive impairment and heart failure is well described but our understanding of the relationship between the ...

Efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in acute decompensated heart failure: a study protocol for a randomized, patient- and assessor-blinded, sham controlled trial

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017
Background The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of electroacupuncture in the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure compared with sham electroacupuncture. Methods This protocol is for a randomized, sham controlled,
