<i>Aim:</i> This study evaluated the impact of hyperuricemia (HUR) on outcome in patients with different types impaired renal function (IRF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated invasively. <i>Methods:</i> Out 3,593 consecutive AMI invasively, 1,015 IRF were selected. The group consisted baseline kidney dysfunction (BKD group) and/or contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN group). HUR was defined as a serum uric acid concentration (SUAC) >420 µmol/l (>7...
The CHA2DS2-VASc score is widely used to stratify the risk of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. aim study was assess whether might be useful identify at a high ischemic and death among individuals after acute myocardial infarction no history fibrillation.We analysed consecutive admitted our centre between 2003 2008. On basis score, four groups were distinguished: low-risk (1 point), intermediate-risk (2-3 points), high-risk (4-5 points) very (>5 points). Data on...
Musculoskeletal pains are one of the most common complaints reported by patients. In 1972, Smythe described generalized pain and tenderness on palpation at specific points and, 4 years later, term fibromyalgia was introduced for determining disease syndrome. The etiology pathogenesis still unknown. This appears probably multi-factorial. It is considered that changes in neuronal activity central nervous system, abnormal metabolism biogenic amines immunological disorders may among other...
Background: The benefits of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy are undeniable. However, such treatment is contraindicated in 2%–10% patients. According to the latest guidelines, percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) may be considered stroke prevention. Aims: We analyzed data patients from Polish population, who had undergone LAAO procedures Silesian Province based on limited reports. Methods: SILCARD database all underwent between 2006 and 2019, databases centers performing...
Pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon catheter ablation (CCB) is an effective method of treatment in patients atrial fibrillation (AF), but heart failure (HF) the role CCB remains unknown.The aim study was to assess feasibility, effectiveness, and safety HF cardiac im-plantable electronic devices (CIEDs), impact procedure on symptoms, echocardiographic parameters.Thirty consecutive left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40% CIED, referred for AF, were included. Procedural parameters...
Because data on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) are scarce, we aimed to assess the incidence, natural course and prognostic importance of this syndrome CRT recipients.Study population consisted 100 consecutive enrolled into Triple Site Versus Standard Cardiac Resynchronization (TRUST CRT) trial, who were treated with CRT-D. Two excluded up 3 months after randomization not analysed further. CI-AKI was defined as a...
The coexistence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk thromboembolic complications, as well hemorrhagic incidents - percutaneous left appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative.To evaluate long-term outcomes LAAO performed in patients with CKD non-valvular AF.Two hundred seventy-two AF who underwent between 2009 2019 were prospectively analyzed. Patients divided into two groups: (105 patients) non-CKD (167 (cut-off point: eGFR 60 ml/min/1.73 m2)....
AimsThe aim of the study was to verify in what proportion patients, device-detected atrial high rate (AHR) episodes are indeed arrhythmias (AAs). We investigated also reasons for inappropriate arrhythmia classification and assessed if patients with misdiagnosed have distinct characteristics that would help identify them.
Background The prognostic impact of improvement in health‐related quality life (QoL) and its relation to response cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) recipients remains unknown. Aim To assess the correspondence between CRT improvements QoL verify if a change after pacing influences outcome patients. Methods Ninety‐seven participants Triple‐Site Versus Standard Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Trial (TRUST CRT) randomized trial, New York Heart Association class III‐IV, QRS width ≥ 120...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Chronic heart failure (HF) is associated with significantly increased prevalence of depression. The aim the study was to assess incidence and clinical impact depression as well effectiveness treatment in HF patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective interventional trial included 285 consecutive cardiac resynchronization therapy recipients. Patients underwent a psychiatric examination at time implantation then it...

The aim of the study was to assess long-term incidence atrial fibrillation (AF) in cardiac resynchronization (CRT) recipients with and without prior arrhythmic history, factors predisposing arrhythmia, as well evaluate prognostic power cumulative arrhythmia burden, duration longest episode number episodes.Device-collected data on AF episodes during 24 months 96 participants a randomized CRT-trial were analyzed (15% NYHA class IV, sinus rhythm, median left ventricular ejection fraction 24%...
N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is elevated not only in heart failure (HF) but also atrial fibrillation (AF). The role and secretion pattern of NT-proBNP AF still undetermined.The study aimed to assess concentrations patients with without preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) depending on the type AF. It was intended define main source production within heart. In addition, it relation some echocardiographic parameters reflecting stretch chambers as well...
Due to the recent rapid increase in number of patients implanted with pacemakers, cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices (CRT), conventional monitoring at specialist clinics is becoming increasingly difficult. The development technology has enabled remote device use teletransmission systems.To assess effectiveness transmission possibility using telemetric data for further clinical management heart failure (HF) treated CRT-D.The analysis included 305...
Background: Paravalvular leak (PVL) has significant impact on long-term outcomes in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study sought to determine whether multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT)-guided selection reduces PVL CoreValve implantation. Methods: The analysis encompassed 69 implanted with and were divided into two groups. In Group I (30 patients), was based standard procedures, II (39 MSCT measurements. assessed angiography echocardiography. Results:...
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an alternative approach to anticoagulants. Nonetheless, data regarding the outcomes of LAAC procedures in patients with thrombocytopenia remain lacking. The primary objective was determine incidence composite endpoint comprising ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, major bleeding, and cardiac cause death among fibrillation (AF) who were either undergoing or receiving oral secondary determination total mortality. Data from a prospective,...
Background: Cardiac device-related infective endocarditis (CDRIE) is one of the most serious complications cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). Aim: We sought to assess clinical outcomes and their determinants in CRT patients with CDRIE. Methods: A tertiary cardiology centre database was screened identify all CDRIE cases, diagnosed based on modified Duke criteria, amongst 765 consecutive implantations performed between 2002 2015 (70.8% de novo implantations, 29.2% upgrades). Results:...
