1.Congestive Heart Failure and Angina Congestive heart failure (CHF) and angina represent significant burdens in cardiovascular medicine. CHF is achroniccondition where theheartis unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. Angina,...
Prescription of evidence-based medicine at hospital discharge (DC) for management of congestive heart failure (CHF) is dependent on treatment by a cardiologist (CARD) vs a non-cardiologist (non-CARD). We hypothesized that medications taken prior to hospitalization may also impact prescription ...
Death certificates with an underlying cause of death coded as heart failure (ICD-9-CM code 428 or ICD-10 code I50) and not identified through the above process were also included as events. Because retinal photography was performed at the third examination, incident CHF was defined as new ...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) significantly improves functional status, exercise duration, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, death from progressive congestive heart failure (CHF), and hospitalization for CHF in patients with moderate-to-severe CHF, an abnormal LV ejection fraction, and ...
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with cognitive deficits, particularly of memory and attention. The present study aims to clarify whether clinical treatment can reverse the attentional deficits of patients with CHF. A convenience sample of 50
Heart failure treatments (except ICD use) were not consistently in favour of one sex. Paradoxically, while the rates of hospitalisations were similar among women and men, the risk of death was lower among women. These patterns were consistent regardless of the economic status of the countries. ...
After treated with metoprolol,10 patients'cardiac function improved,NE and ICD25 decreased. We conclude:over excitation of sympathetic;system may be a bad omen in congestive heart lailure from dilated cardiomyopathy.关键词: sympathetic nervous system myocardial diseases heart failure congestive ...
Treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) aims for symptomatic relief and reduction of mortality both from sudden death and pump failure. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in the prevention of sudden death, but no mortality benefit in advanced CHF has yet been ...
[摘要] 目的观察心脏再同步化起搏治疗(cardiac resynchronization therapy,CRT)对慢性充血性心力哀竭(chronic congestive heart failure,CHF)患者心脏重构的影响。方法入选21例CHF患者中扩张型心肌病13例,缺血型心肌病8例。所有患者符合CRT指南的Ⅰ类适应证。观察患者行CRT术后6个月及12个月左室射血分数(LVEF)、左室...
The aim of this study was to propose an analytical approach to develop high-performing predictive models for congestive heart failure (CHF) readmission using an operational dataset with incomplete records and changing data over time. Our analytical appro
