Personalized management involving heart failure (HF) etiology is crucial for better prognoses HF patients. This study aimed to compare patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ischemic dilated (NIDCM) in terms of baseline characteristics prognosis. We assessed 895 reduced left ventricular ejection fraction participating the Polish part European Society Cardiology (ESC)-HF registries. ICM was present 583 (65%), NIDCM 312 (35%). The were older (
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with high risk of stroke and other thromboembolic complications. The OCULUS study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness three-dimensional (3D) movie in teaching patients about consequences AF pharmacological prevention.The was based on a questionnaire included 100 consecutive (38% women, 62% history). Using oculus glasses smartphone, 3D describing shown. Similar questions were asked immediately after, 1 week year after projection.Before projection 22/100...
Myocarditis remains an unknown disease with varying clinical manifestations, often leading to heart failure. The latest 2021 and 2022 guidelines of the European Society Cardiology (ESC) are first official documents updating knowledge on diagnosis treatment myocarditis since 2013 ESC expert consensus statement. These new studies allow standardization improvements management myocarditis. In this review, we discuss most important aspects diagnosis, therapies follow-up based current knowledge.
Abstract Background Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs) and fibroblasts are both widely used in regenerative medicine, demonstrating significant potential for personalized cell therapy. A major challenge their use lies high biological similarity, encompassing morphology, differentiation capabilities, flow cytometric markers, making distinction difficult. Methods In our study, we aimed to compare AD-MSCs obtained from two types of adipose tissue, subcutaneous visceral,...
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist modify each other's course. The prevalence clinical characteristic of AF differ in specific HF subtypes. study aimed to evaluate the incidence features people with comparison those sinus rhythm HF, across three subtypes categorized by left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Hospitalized patients outpatients were enrolled failuReObsErvationalStudy, a prospective, multicenter cohort study. defined as reduced EF (HFrEF, EF<40%),...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexists with heart failure (HF).To assess clinical characteristics and to identify predictors of one-year outcome patients hospitalised for HF, depending on whether they were in sinus rhythm (SR) or had AF.The study included Polish participating the Heart Failure Pilot Survey European Society Cardiology, who followed 12 months after discharge. Patients paced excluded from study. The primary endpoint was all-cause death at months.The final analysis 587...
Today, the main challenge for researchers is to develop new technologies which may help improve diagnoses of cardiovascular disease (CVD), thereby reducing healthcare costs and improving quality life patients. This study aims show utility biomedical shirt-based electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring patients with CVD in different clinical situations using Nuubo® ECG (nECG) system.An investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective observational was carried out a cardiology (adult pediatric)...
Over the last few decades, incidence and prevalence of chronic heart failure (HF) have been constantly increasing.To identify predictors one-year mortality hospital readmissions in patients discharged after hospitalisation for HF.The study included Polish who agreed to participate Heart Failure Pilot Survey European Society Cardiology were followed 12 months. The primary endpoint was all-cause death at secondary a composite readmission cardiac causes months.The final analysis 629 patients....
Introduction: Cardiac involvement in patients with muscular dystrophy associated Lamin A/C mutations (LMNA) is characterized by atrioventricular conduction abnormalities and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Little known about emerin mutation (EMD). The aim of our study was to describe compare the prevalence time distribution arrhythmias at extended follow-up. Patients methods: 45 consecutive affected laminopathy or emerinopathy were examined. All underwent clinical evaluation, 12-lead...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the association of leptin, resistin, and tumour necrosis factor α (TNF‐α) with prognosis in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Analysis included 284 T2D patients. Apart from routine laboratory parameters, baseline TNF‐α concentrations were measured. Patients followed for a median 5.4 years. The primary endpoint was all‐cause death at follow‐up. secondary composite death, acute coronary syndrome, stroke or transient ischemic attack. Results At baseline, age 68...
The epidemiology of myocarditis is unknown and based mainly on small single-centre studies. study aimed to evaluate the current incidence, clinical characteristics, management outcomes patients hospitalized due in a general population. was registered ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04827706). nationwide MYO-PL (the occurrence, trends, with Poland) database (years 2009-2020) created identify hospitalization records primary diagnosis according International Classification Diseases Related Health...
Background. Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a very rare type of characterized by musculoskeletal abnormalities accompanied cardiac defects. Two most common genetic subtypes are EDMD1 due to EMD and EDMD2 caused LMNA gene mutations. The aim the study was characterize compare morphology function in two main subgroups EDMD with use echocardiography. Methods. 41 patients (29 12 EDMD2) as well 25 healthy controls were enrolled our study. Transthoracic echo prescribed protocol...

A prospective, observational study, BIOSTRAT (Biomarkers for Risk Stratification After STEMI), enrolled 117 between October 2014...
Recent reports suggest that torasemide might be more beneficial than furosemide in patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF). The aim was to compare the effects of and on clinical outcomes HF patients.This study pilot consisted data from ongoing multicenter, randomized, unblinded endpoint phase IV TORNADO (NCT01942109) study. New York Heart Association (NYHA) II-IV class a stable dose were randomized treatment equipotential (4:1) or continuation unchanged furosemide. On enrollment control...
There is a widespread lack of systematic knowledge about myocarditis in children and young adults European populations. The MYO-PL nationwide study aimed to evaluate sex differences the incidence, clinical characteristics, management outcomes all patients with diagnosis myocarditis, hospitalized last ten years. involved data (from only public healthcare insurer Poland) (n = 3659) aged 0-20 years for 2011-2019.
