Background Lung ultrasound is feasible for assessing lung injury caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the prognostic meaning and time-line changes of assessed in COVID-19 hospitalised patients are unknown. Methods Prospective cohort study designed to analyse value using a quantitative scale (lung Zaragoza (LUZ)-score) during first 72 h after admission. The primary end-point was in-hospital death and/or admission intensive care unit. Total length hospital stay, increase...
As part of the “2nd Training Conference on Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation for Residents”, held in Madrid November 2024, a collaborative initiative was launched to address most common practical challenges management heart failure (HF) daily practice. This document is result joint efforts residents from various hospitals nationwide, collaboration with senior physicians extensive HF expertise members Working Group Spanish Society Internal Medicine. Our aim provide useful tool that...
Although several biomarkers have shown correlation to prognosis in COVID-19 patients, their clinical value is limited because of lack specificity, suboptimal sensibility or poor dynamic behavior. We hypothesized that circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) could be associated a worse outcome COVID-19. In total, 152 patients admitted for confirmed were included prospective non-interventional, observational study. Blood samples drawn at admission, 48-72 h later and discharge. sST2 concentrations...
Background: Risk stratification of COVID-19 patients is fundamental to improving prognosis and selecting the right treatment. We hypothesized that a combination lung ultrasound (LUZ-score), biomarkers (sST2), clinical models (PANDEMYC score) could be useful improve risk stratification. Methods: This was prospective cohort study designed analyze prognostic value ultrasound, sST2, PANDEMYC score in patients. The primary endpoint in-hospital death and/or admission intensive care unit. total...
Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is now considered a potential contributor to organ damage and disease progression in acute heart failure (AHF). In this work, we aimed determine if antigen carbohydrate 125 (CA125) associated with IAP identify cutpoint of CA125 useful for ruling out hypertension (defined as ≥ 12 mmHg). We prospectively evaluated cohort 53 patients admitted AHF which was measured within the first 24-h admission. The mean age 80 ± 8 years, 31 (58.5%) were female, had...
The coexistence of heart and kidney diseases, also called cardiorenal syndrome, is increasingly common, leads to a significant impact on morbidity mortality, poses diagnostic therapeutic difficulties. There risk-treatment paradox, such that patients with the highest risk are treated lesser disease-modifying medical therapies. In this document, different scientific societies propose practical approach systematically address optimize therapies related comorbidities in chronic disease beyond...
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing public health problem worldwide. Across the world, heart associated with high mortality, hospitalization rates, poor quality of life. Self-care defined as naturalistic decision-making process involving choice behaviors that maintain physiologic stability, response to symptoms when they occur, ability follow treatment regimen control symptoms. One instrument used measure self-care Self Care Failure Index. Aim: The purpose this study was...
Abstract Importance Although several biomarkers have shown correlation to prognosis in COVID-19 patients, their clinical value is limited because of lack specificity, suboptimal sensibility, or poor dynamic behavior. Objective In search better prognostic markers COVID-19, we hypothesized that circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) could be associated a worse outcome, prompted by our previous knowledge sST2 involvement heart failure-associated lung deterioration, and mounting evidence favoring role...
Hospitalization for acute decompensation of heart failure (ADHF) is a frequent event associated with long‑term adverse effects. Prognosis even worse if kidney injury (AKI) occurs during hospitalization.The study aimed to determine whether damage biomarkers neutrophil gelatinase‑associatedlipocalin (NGAL), molecule 1 (KIM‑1), and interleukin18 (IL‑18) might predict AKI have prognostic value in ADHF.Serum NGAL on admission urine NGAL, KIM‑1, IL‑18 discharge were determined 187 ADHF patients...
Background: Congestion is an essential issue in patients with heart failure (HF). Standard treatments do not usually achieve decongestion, and various strategies have been proposed to guide treatment, such as determination of natriuresis. After starting treatment loop diuretics, we postulate that initial natriuresis might help titration, improve prognosis. Methods: It was a prospective observational study. Patients admitted the diagnosis HF decompensation were eligible. An assessment...
Introduction and Objectives: A comprehensive assessment of congestion, including circulating biomarkers, is recommended in patients with acute heart failure. The biomarkers natriuretic peptides (NPs) carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) could be useful for congestion ambulatory chronic failure (CHF), but there only limited information about their applicability this context. Therefore, study aimed to examine the association plasma CA125 NP levels clinical ultrasound parameters CHF. Methods: This...
