HF: heart failure BNP: brain natriuretic peptide EF: ejection fraction Further testing With clinical evaluation and initial tests confirming HF, additional tests to determine the etiology and risk stratification by classifying the stage of HF follow. Workup for coronary artery disease (especially for...

Table 3. Shock Labs at Baseline and for Re-Profiling. BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; CPO, cardiac power output; JVP, jugular venous pressure; LV and RVSWi, left and right ventricular stroke work index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVOT VTI, left ventricular outflow tract obstruct...
Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening condition when not addressed. This article strives to delineate the various forms of heart failure, elucidating the stages, types of HF, and methods of diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, it underscores the significance of an int...
Labs and Tests A common misconception is thatH. pylori, a bacteria associated withpeptic ulcer disease, also causes GERD. Research has not shown this to be true and screening is generally not recommended. In practice, treatment ofH. pyloriinfection does little to improve GERD symptoms.3 ...
Here, we show that heart failure (HF) is associated with a specific compositional and functional shift of the gut microbiota that is linked to circulating levels of the microbial histidine-derived metabolite ImP. Circulating ImP levels are elevated in chronic HF patients compared to controls and as...
Plasma natriuretic peptides (BNP1–32, N-terminal [NT]-proBNP1–76) have been demonstrated to assist in the diagnosis of patients with heart failure. However, the precursor to these polypeptides (proBNP1–108) circulates in plasma and may interfere with the measurement of currently used biomark...
On admission, she was afebrile with a blood pressure of 131/93 mmHg, a heart rate of 123 b.p.m., and an O2saturation of 100% on room air. Labs on admission revealed non-haemolytic anaemia with a haemoglobin...
(Barcelona Bio-Heart Failure Risk Calculator). The SHFM score is the most thoroughly validated and contains the most predictor variables of the four3. The MAGGIC score4was developed from a dataset of over 39,000 patients across 30 studies and validated on more than 60,000 patients using 2 ...
