Abstract Background Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a proteolytic fragment of MUC-16 that increased in heart failure (HF) and associated with inflammation, fluid overload, worse adverse events. Our main objective was to study the expression CA125 on epicardium its association adipogenesis, fibrosis. Methods Epicardial fat biopsies blood were obtained from 151 non-selected patients undergoing open surgery. Immunohistochemistry, ELISA, or real-time PCR used for analyzing protein mRNA...
The benefit of complete revascularization in elderly patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and multivessel disease remains debated (MVD). aim our study was to determine the current long-term prognostic this population. A retrospective cohort 1722 consecutive NSTEMI performed. Among participants 30.4% (n = 524) were completed revascularizated 69.6% 1198) culprit vessel only propensity score analysis performed we divided population into two groups: 500) 500). median...
Background and objectives: The risk of major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events following acute coronary syndrome is increased in people with diabetes. Predicting out-of-hospital outcomes upon follow-up remains difficult, no simple, well-validated tools exist for this population at present. We aim to evaluate several factors a competing risks model actionable evaluation the incidence diabetic outpatients syndrome. Methods: Retrospective analysis consecutive patients admitted two centres....
Epicardial fat thickness is associated with cardiovascular disease. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), a pharmaceutical treatment for CVD, was found to have an effect on adipose tissue. Our aim analyse the main epicardial genesis and inflammation-involved cell markers their regulation by risk factors MRA. We included blood or subcutaneous (EAT SAT) from 71 patients undergoing heart surgery 66 failure. Cell types (transcripts proteins) were analysed real-time polymerase chain...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is indicated in symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients after achieving optimal medical therapy. However, there are still a large percentage of who do not respond to CRT. Malnutrition frequent comorbidity with HF, and it associated poorer prognosis. Here, we evaluate the nutritional status assessed by Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score its association structural remodeling cardiovascular events. We investigated effect CONUT on HF/death 302...
We determined the effectiveness of HATCH score in patients with typical atrial flutter (AFl) undergoing cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation to predict long-term fibrillation (AF). conducted an observational retrospective single-center cohort study including all admitted our hospital for a CTI between 1998 and 2010. The were divided into four categories: 1) new-onset AF (no prior during follow-up (FU)); 2) old (prior no FU); 3) post (AF ablation); 4) AF. Four hundred eight included. In...
Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is indicated in symptomatic heart failure ( HF ) patients after achieving optimal medical OMT ). However, many may not be under when the CRT device implanted. Here, we evaluate long‐term benefits of receiving or . Methods We investigated effect on developing death 328 consecutive with a implanted between 2005 and 2015 single tertiary center. After implant, categorized into three groups: no , at baseline 1 year follow‐up, only 1‐year...
Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common arrhythmia in post-operative period after cardiac surgery. We aim to investigate main clinical, local, and/or peripheral biochemical and molecular predictors for POAF patients undergoing coronary valve Between August 2020 September 2022, consecutive surgery without previous history of AF were studied. Clinical variables, plasma, biological tissues (epicardial subcutaneous fat) obtained before Pre-operative markers associated with...
Abstract Background and Purpose The clinical trajectory of patients with heart failure (HF) is characterised by frequent episodes decompensation requiring urgent medical assistance, hospitalisations, an increased risk mortality. HF guidelines recommend early visits health professionals after hospital discharge, yet little evidence exists regarding the associations between delayed attention outcomes in patients. To assess impact time taken to receive cardiology care for referrals from primary...
Abstract Background Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), is the name of soluble part mucin-16, after being cleaved, which detected and increased into circulation in congestive heart failure (HF) patients. Purpose We aimed to study plasma epicardial fat markers related inflammation, fibrosis, adiposity, its association with CA125 for understanding underlying mechanisms differences between men women. Methods have included women undergoing open surgery (n=134). Epicardial biopsy blood were...
