Creatinine clearance was once commonly used for screening purposes but, due to the need for a 24-hour urine collection, has largely been supplanted by a newer algorithm—the eGFR—which only requires the SCr. With that being said, creatinine clearance is still routinely used for diagnostic purpos...
I read with interest the commentary provided by Dr Wyer regarding the value of dyspnoea on exertion in congestive heart failure (HF).1 The data reveal the pooled positive likelihood ratio (+LR) for dyspnoea on exertion to be 1.3 and the negative likelihood ratio (−LR) to be 0.48. He ...
Although there is no consensus on the terminology used, cardiac hepatopathy can be examined as congestive hepatopathy (CH) and acute cardiogenic liver injury (ACLI). CH is caused by passive venous congestion of the liver that generally occurs in the setting of chronic cardiac conditions such as ...
The aim of our study was to focus on patients who have congestive heart failure, caused by left ventricular dysfunction or left-sided heart valve disease, and study the prognostic value of performing preoperative pulmonary function testing on their postoperative outcomes. Methods This is a ...

Having recently had a heart attack (myocardial infarction or death of cardiac muscle), which usually results in the highest levels in the blood compared to other health problems — this may be due to congestive heart failure/acute coronary syndrome orcoronary heart disease ...
Pulmonary venous hypertension:Because this form of pulmonary vascular disease is usually caused by congestive heart failure, thesetreatments for heart failureare usually appropriate: Diuretics, likefurosemide(Lasix) andspironolactone(Aldactone) Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, likelisinopril ...
