MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Nonselective \u3b2-Blockers in Patients with Cirrhosis and Refractory Ascites [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND:Nonselective \u3b2-blockers (NSBB) have been associated with increased incidence of paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and reduced survival in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites.

Beta-blokers in patients with cirrhosis and infection: don't blame too soon. [PDF]

, 2015
We found that PPI-users had a higher rate and BBs-users a lower rate of infections. The lower infection rate and better prognosis of BB-users can not be attributed, as suggested by Schiavon et al., to a higher proportion of variceal bleeding in this ...

Usefulness of bioelectrical impedance analysis for monitoring patients with refractory ascites [PDF]

, 2019
Background: bioelectrical impedance analysis is a technique for the determination of the hydropic component. The hydropic component, determined by blood volume, could be a reflection of the hemodynamic situation.

Effects of Shunt Position on the Prognosis of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt in Patients With Cirrhotic Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
The challenge of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) remains the puncture of the portal vein. Establishing an optimal shunt position in the left branch of the portal vein would be a better option for reducing the risk of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy and stent dysfunction.
