Hypocalcaemic cardiac failure [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1978
SummaryA 35-year-old patient who presented with recurrent chest infection, pulmonary oedema and cardiac failure was found to be grossly hypocalcaemic owing to previously undiagnosed hypoparathyroidism. The cardiac failure was not easily relieved by digoxin and diuretics but it quickly responded when the plasma calcium was restored to normal with ...

Toward a solution for cardiac failure in the newborn

Xenotransplantation, 2018
The newborn infant with severe cardiac failure owed to congenital structural heart disease or cardiomyopathy poses a daunting therapeutic challenge. The ideal solution for both might be cardiac transplantation if availability of hearts was not limiting ...

Efficacy of coenzyme Q10 in patients with cardiac failure: a meta-analysis of clinical trials

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
BackgroundThe therapeutic efficacy of coenzyme Q10 on patients with cardiac failure remains controversial. We pooled previous clinical studies to re-evaluate the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 in patients with cardiac failure.MethodsWe searched PubMed ...

Cardiac resynchronization in chronic heart failure.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that cardiac resynchronization achieved through atrial-synchronized biventricular pacing produces clinical benefits in patients with heart failure who have an intraventricular conduction delay.

Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure [PDF]

International Journal of Heart Failure, 2021
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, resulting in reduced organ perfusion. The goals of treatment in patients with HF are to improve functional capacity and quality of life, and to reduce mortality.

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for adults with heart failure.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (HF) is a growing global health challenge. People with HF experience substantial burden that includes low exercise tolerance, poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL), increased risk of mortality and hospital admission,

The Economics of Cardiac Failure [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1996
Quality assurance and inclusion of prospective evaluation of costs of treatment in phase 3 and 4 pharmaceutical trials are becoming increasingly important. Not only high technology applications have to be investigated, but also relatively cheap but very common strategies for diagnostic work up and therapy. This may yield major savings.

Cardiac-resynchronization therapy for the prevention of heart-failure events.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
BACKGROUND This trial was designed to determine whether cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacing would reduce the risk of death or heart-failure events in patients with mild cardiac symptoms, a reduced ejection fraction, and a ...

Glucose Metabolism in Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
H eart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and has been singled out as an emerging epidemic. With a 5-year survival rate of 50%, heart failure poses a tremendous burden on our economic and healthcare system.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
