Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Elevated PAI-1 is associated with poor clinical outcomes in pediatric patients with acute lung injury. [PDF]
, 2009 PurposeDeposition of fibrin in the alveolar space is a hallmark of acute lung injury (ALI). Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is an antifibrinolytic agent that is activated during inflammation. Increased plasma and pulmonary edema fluid levels of

Ventilator associated pneumonia and infection control
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2006 Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. The incidence of VAP varies from 7% to 70% in different studies and the mortality rates are 20–75% according to the study population ...

Short report: Hospitalization for new‐onset heart failure in survivors of hospitalized COVID‐19
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Previous studies have reported an incidence of new‐onset heart failure (HF) among COVID‐19 survivors ranging from 0.7 to 8.5 per 100 person‐years, but they relied on administrative data for outcome ascertainment. Given the public health implications, a more accurate characterization of the HF burden post‐COVID‐19 is important. Methods and

Ventilator-associated respiratory infection in a resource-restricted setting: impact and etiology
Journal of Intensive Care, 2017 Background Ventilator-associated respiratory infection (VARI) is a significant problem in resource-restricted intensive care units (ICUs), but differences in casemix and etiology means VARI in resource-restricted ICUs may be different from that found in ...
