Background Data regarding the phenotypic correlates and prognostic value of albumin in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are scarce. The goal current study is to determine (myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, detailed pulsatile hemodynamics, skeletal muscle mass) implications serum HFpEF. Methods Results We studied 118 adults All-cause death or heart-failure-related hospitalization was ascertained over a median follow-up 57.6 months. measured left ventricular...
Background The impact of skeletal muscle size, quantified using simple noninvasive images routinely obtained during cardiac magnetic resonance imaging studies on mortality in the heart failure ( HF ) population is currently unknown. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 567 subjects without (n=364), with reduced ejection fraction (n=111), or preserved (n=92), who underwent a imaging. Skeletal cross-sectional area was assessed manual tracing major thoracic groups axial chest images....
Our patient is a 65-year-old male with history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, who presented to the emergency department epigastric pain. On laboratory examination, his sodium level was found be 127 meq/L (normal range: 136 - 145 meq/L). During hospital course, he developed retrosternal chest His electrocardiogram (ECG) during this episode showed deep symmetrical T wave inversions in anterior, septal apical leads. symptoms...
38 year old young female presented with a two-week history of dyspnoea and general malaise without any other clinical signs malignancy. Two-dimensional Echocardiogram showed findings suspicious for right atrial mass. Transoesophageal echocardiogram rupture the free wall pseudoaneurysm mass that has also infiltrated ventricle. Histopathology biopsied specimens confirmed diagnosis cardiac angiosarcoma. Given its rapid growth, nonspecific symptoms late presentation to hospital, is often...

Background: Telemetry was first introduced in the 1950s cardiac intensive care units (ICU) and has since expanded to beyond ICU setting. With this expansion, concerns regarding overutilization of telemetry have emerged. In response these concerns, American Heart Association (AHA) College Cardiology (ACC) released guidelines for evidenced-based utilization 2004. Following publication, numerous studies shown that a significant number non-ICU patients on do not meet indications leading costly...
