Chronic heart failure (CHF) poses a significant threat to human health. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a novel metric for accurately assessing stress hyperglycemia, which has been correlated with adverse outcomes in various major diseases. Howev
Lacunar infarcts were defined as having ≥ 1 ischemic infarction (< 1.0 cm) in the deep white matter, the basal ganglia or pons [32]. CMBs were defined as having ≥ 1 small (0,2 − 0,5 cm) hypointense lesion [32], using the SWAN sequence. Cortical atrophy was def...
ICD = implantable cardioverter defibrillator; IHD = ischemic heart disease; LA = left atrium; LAVI = left atrial volume index; LVEDD = left ventricle end-diastolic diameter; LVEDV = left ventricle end diastolic volume; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; NTproBNP = N-terminal B-type natr...

and written consent had been obtained from all participants. The protocols of sample collection and RNA-seq analysis of whole heart tissue were previously described21. The history of ICD implantation or sustained ventricular tachycardia events in 12 months prior to heart transplantation was collected. ...
Mean age was 66 ± 9 years, LVEF 34 ± 9%, male patients were 88%, NYHA class III represented 29%, hypertension was present in 57%, ischemic heart disease in 43%, diabetes in 31%, COPD in 31%, 50% had an ICD/CRT-D implanted. All patients were treated with beta-blockers, 29%...
Nonadherence to P2Y12-I prescriptions is not a new problem; this is especially high for new prescriptions in the general population and, among individuals with ischemic heart disease.9 In the general population, there was a notable increase in the proportion of individuals from 6.4% to 19.1% ...
