A multicentre registry of hospitalized patients with acute and chronic heart failure: Study design of the H2‐registry

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The H2‐Registry: overview, first results and outlook. Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition affecting 1–3% of the adult population in Europe. Despite landmark improvements in HF care over the last two decades, hospitalization and mortality rates remain relatively high.

Cutoff values of NT-proBNP for the prediction of low functional capacity, decreased ejection fraction and cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: It has been demonstrated in numerous studies that N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is strongly associated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), functional capacity (FC), and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in ...

Left atrial to coronary sinus shunting in more advanced heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Inter‐atrial shunt device therapy has shown mixed results in clinical trials, with clinical ‘non‐responders’ typically showing features of more advanced heart failure. We aimed to analyse the haemodynamic and clinical response of a novel left atrial to coronary sinus (LA‐CS) shunt device in patients with higher natriuretic peptide (NP ...

Cost‐utility analysis of add‐on Qili Qiangxin capsules in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in China

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The study aimed to analyse the cost‐utility of Chinese patent medicine Qili Qiangxin (QLQX) capsules in heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction from the healthcare payer's perspective. Methods and results From the perspective of the healthcare payer, a Markov model was established to estimate the cost‐utility of adding QLQX ...

Insights into clinical practice: A national survey on fluid intake management in heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
There are differences in clinical practice regarding fluid intake management, which may lead to patients with heart failure receiving different and incohesive recommendations. Therefore, there is a need for unified and nationally accepted guidelines in Sweden regarding management on fluid intake. Abstract Aims Due to insufficient evidence and a lack of

Early diuretic response and outcome prediction in ambulatory worsening heart failure: Natriuresis versus diuresis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Early diuresis and natriuresis are commonly used to assess the efficacy of decongestive therapy following an acute heart failure episode. There is limited knowledge regarding which parameter better predicts adverse clinical outcomes, especially in the outpatient setting.

Signs of congestion, quality of life and short‐term rehospitalization in patients with heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Signs of congestion are a treatment target in patients with heart failure (HF), as they affect patients' well‐being, and congestion scores are associated with the risk of early readmission. However, which individual sign of congestion has the strongest association with quality of life (QoL) and HF rehospitalization remains uncertain ...

Plasma metabolomics identifies signatures that distinguish heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Two general phenotypes of heart failure (HF) are recognized: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved EF (HFpEF). To develop phenotype‐specific approaches to treatment, distinguishing biomarkers are needed. The goal of this study was to utilize quantitative metabolomics on a large, diverse population to replicate and ...

Early prescription of quadruple therapy in acute decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: A propensity score‐matched analysis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
This propensity score‐matched analysis of 2051 acute decompensated heart failure patients from the ICARUS registry compared 898 patients who received early quadruple guideline‐directed medical therapy (within 48 h of admission) to 1153 matched controls.

BUN‐to‐ALB ratio as an effective predictor of 30 day mortality in ADHF patients in eastern China

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) is considered a potential indicator for assessing the poor prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic value for Chinese patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear.
