Following a previously validated HF algorithm24, our inclusion criteria consisted of: (1) All patients 18 years or older from 2000 to 2019 (2) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for echocardiogram (93303 to 93355) (3) International Classification of Disease-Ninth Revision (ICD-9) code d...
CPT code:Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is described as the medical code set that is utilized to report medical, surgical, as well as analytical procedures and services to entities like physicians, health insurance companies as well as autho...

134/80 mm Hg, p = 0.50 and 0.88), body mass index (25.5 vs. 24.5 kg/m2, p = 0.44) or the presence of heart failure medication (85% vs. 71 %, p = 0.27) between patients with aIAB and patients without aIAB. Biomarker and echocardiographic findings in relation to aIAB are presented...
The heart surgery was performed after systemic heparinization (400 IU/kg; heparin sodium 25,000, Ratiopharm, Ulm, Germany) using a heart–lung machine (Stöckert S3, Sorin Group Germany GmbH, Munich) at a body temperature of 28 °C. The cannulation was placed in the carotid artery and ...
In fact, all paired organs present physiological and molecular differ- ences, as shown by microRNA profiling in paired eyes, lung, and testes normal tissues [19]. Therefore, the normal differences between both breasts can lead to potential differences in the microenvironment surrounding tumors ...
After all, the beneficial effects of natriuretic peptides in the lung have been extensively described [38,39,40]. In our study, TAPSE, TAPSE/PASP, and FAC emerged as the best echocardiographic parameters to evaluate changes over time of right ventricular function; RVEDD emerged as a parameter...
