Admission hyponatraemia as heart failure events predictor in patients with acute heart failure
Abstract Aims Heart failure remained consistent as one of the biggest cardiovascular problems in Indonesia. Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte disorder among patients presented with heart failure; however, the prognostic value for worsening heart failure has not been well defined. Methods and results We studied 134 patients admitted with acute heart

Prognostic significance of plasma chloride in elderly patients hospitalized for acute heart failure
Abstract Aims Previous studies demonstrated the relationship between hypochloraemia and poor prognosis in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). However, the usefulness of chloride in clinical practice remains uncertain, notably in very old patients with predominantly heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Implications of fetal premature atrial contractions: systematic review
ABSTRACT Objective Fetal heart‐rate irregularities occur in 1–2% of pregnancies and are usually caused by premature atrial contractions (PAC). Although PAC are considered benign, they may be associated with cardiac defects and tachyarrhythmia. We aimed to determine the incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) and complications in fetuses with PAC ...

Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) patients have a high risk of mortality due to sudden cardiac death (SCD) and non‐SCD, including pump failure death (PFD). Anaemia predicts more severe symptomatic burden and higher morbidity, as noted by markedly increased hospitalizations and readmission rates, and mortality, underscoring its importance in HF ...

Determinants of maximal oxygen uptake in patients with heart failure
Abstract Aims Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) is an essential parameter to assess functional capacity of patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to identify clinical factors that determine its value, as they have not been well characterized yet. Methods We conducted a retrospective, observational, single‐centre study of 362 consecutive patients with ...
