Most data on mortality and prognostic factors in patients with heart failure come from North America Europe, little information other regions. Here, the International Congestive Heart Failure (INTER-CHF) study, we aimed to measure at 1 year Africa, China, India, Middle East, southeast Asia South America; also explored demographic, clinical, socioeconomic variables associated mortality.We enrolled consecutive (3695 [66%] clinic outpatients, 2105 [34%] hospital patients) 108 centres six...
To describe the prevalence and associated factors of inappropriate doses direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in a national registry patients real clinical practice.Five hundred thirty outpatients with atrial fibrillation treated DOAC were included prospective, national, multicentre study. The appropriateness was defined according to recommendations European Heart Rhythm Association. Mean age 73 ± 9 years, 46% women. Two sixty-seven prescribed dabigatran, 190 rivaroxaban, apixaban. A total 172...
The assessment of risk and appropriate treatment patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a challenge. prognostic performance cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in predicting 30-day all-cause mortality was prospectively assessed consecutive haemodynamically stable PE. present study included 318 During the period, 23 (7%) died. cTnI elevated (>or=0.1 ng x mL(-1)) 102 (32%) patients. An age >65 yrs, systolic blood pressure <120 mmHg severity illness using PE index (PESI) were significantly...
Anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody 409.5.3 is raised against an that neutralizes feline infectious peritonitis virus. This antibody, used as immunogen, elicits the production of anti-anti-idiotypic antibodies in turn neutralize The crystal structure complex between anti-idiotypic Fab and idiotypic fragment virus-neutralizing has been solved by molecular replacement using real-space Patterson search filtering correlation-coefficient refinement. refined to R value 0.21 based on 21,310 unique...
To examine the evolution of hypertension management and blood pressure (BP) control in Spain last decade across PRESCAP 2002, 2006 2010.The methodology three studies was same. They were multicenter cross-sectional surveys aimed to determine BP rates hypertensive patients primary care during 2010, respectively. In each study, at least 18 years, with an established diagnosis included. Adequate defined as less than 140/90 mmHg general population (<130/85 2002 130/80 2010 for diabetes, chronic...
Despite steady improvements in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, a scarce proportion of patients achieve the recommended LDL-C goals, even under high-intensity lipid-lowering therapy (LLT). Our study aimed to evaluate attainment rate targets by 2019 European guidelines, and characterize potential factors associated with goal achievement change patterns LLT. We conducted retrospective, observational on treated atorvastatin or rosuvastatin ± ezetimibe at cardiology internal medicine...
We report the presence of SNPs in Plasmodium falciparum K13-propeller gene two African countries, Angola and Mozambique, where malaria is a serious public health problem. Samples were collected before after ACT introduction as first-line treatment. In each country 50 samples analysed. A total three different mutations (R471R R575R V494I Mozambique) identified five samples, all ACT. The R471R mutation detected has already been reported Africa (DR-Congo Gabon). However, (Angola) (Mozambique),...
Abstract Background Mechanical power is a composite variable for energy transmitted to the respiratory system over time that may better capture risk ventilator-induced lung injury than individual ventilator management components. We sought evaluate if mechanical ventilation with high associated fewer ventilator-free days (VFD) in children pediatric acute distress syndrome (PARDS). Methods Retrospective analysis of prospective observational international cohort study. Results There were 306...
Background: This analysis assesses the effectiveness and tolerability profile of vericiguat in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, an emphasis on emergence ventricular arrhythmias.
