Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the main causes unplanned hospitalization in patients >65 years age and associated with adverse outcomes this population. Observational studies suggest that intravenous diuretic therapy given first hour presentation for AHF was favorable outcomes.To study short-term prognostic associations timing admitted to emergency department (ED) acute AHF.Patients treated ED diuretics were selected from Estratificação de Doentes com InsuFIciência Cardíaca Aguda...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute myocardial infarction, caused by a non-traumatic and non-iatrogenic separation the arterial wall, especially amongst young women with no conventional cardiovascular risk factors. We describe case 46-year-old woman past medical history Cushing's disease, treated surgically, who presented SCAD. disease not considered traditional factor for As there are reported cases dissections associated this entity common causes...
Abstract Background Intravenous iron improves symptoms in heart failure (HF) with deficiency (ID) but failed to consistently show a benefit cardiovascular outcomes. The ID definition used may influence the response intravenous iron. aim of this meta-analysis is assess on effect HF. Methods/Results We performed random-effects randomized controlled trials (RCT) (vs. placebo or standard care) patients HF and that provided data transferrin saturation (TSAT) ferritin subgroups composite outcome...
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that can affect several systems, characterized by arterial, venous, or small vessel thromboembolic events caused antibodies. It often occurs as a primary event and may be secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus another disease. Occasionally, it present with acute severe condition multiple thromboses, which called catastrophic APS. authors the case of 24-year-old man, who went emergency department complaining pain in right flank,...
Introduction: Intravenous (IV) iron increases hemoglobin/hematocrit and improve outcomes in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) deficiency. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) also increase HF by mechanisms linked to nutrient deprivation signaling, inflammation/oxidative stress reduction. The effect of IV among using SGLT2i has not yet been studied. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that HFrEF deficiency treated a background treatment including will have an...
