27 Sensitivity Analyses To test the validity of the instrumental variable, we performed a positive control analysis, with stroke, heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD) as the outcomes. In addition, we conducted a negative control analysis using chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ...
Included patients either had two healthcare encounters or one hospitalization with a systolic heart failure ICD-10 diagnosis code the year prior to being diagnosed with OSA and initiated on PAP therapy. HCRU was measured as a composite outcome of hospitalizations, and emergency room (ER) visits....
A patient was deemed as having SHF if they had both a clinical diagnosis(ICD-9 code 428.8*) and an ejection fraction(EF)<35%. Patients were followed for 5 year outcomes of AF recurrence, heart failure, stroke, death, and cardiac function.Results: The average age of the population was ...
cardiac surgerybeta adrenergic signaling systemBackground: Two major problems for translating gene therapy for heart failure therapy are: safe and efficient delivery and the inability to establish a relationship between vector exposure and in vivo effects. We present a pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis of...
Heart failureCurrent guidelines present varying classes of recommendations for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) utilization in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ventricular arrhythmia risk ...
