Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs after heart transplantation (HTx), but its relation to preoperative right hemodynamic (RHH) parameters remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed determine their predictive properties for postoperative AKI severity within 30 days HTx. From 1984 2016, all consecutive HTx recipients (n = 595) in our tertiary referral center were included and analyzed the occurrence of staged by disease improving global outcome criteria. The effects RHH on calculated using...
Background Remodeling biomarkers carry high potential for predicting adverse events in chronic heart failure ( CHF ) patients. However, temporal patterns during the course of , and especially trajectory before an event, are unknown. We studied prognostic value 14 cardiac remodeling biomarker candidates stable patients with from Bio-SHiFT (Serial Biomarker Measurements New Echocardiographic Techniques Chronic Heart Failure Patients Result Tailored Prediction Prognosis) study. Methods Results...
Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids is a serious concern of health care workers presents major risk transmission infections such as human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV).The aim this study was determine the frequency circumstances occupational fluid exposures among workers.Cross-sectional conducted in three university hospitals Belgrade. Anonymous questionnaire used containing data about demographic characteristics, self-reported percutaneous...
Abstract Purpose Multiple hormonal and metabolic alterations occur in chronic heart failure (CHF), but their proper monitoring during clinically silent progression of CHF remains challenging. Hence, our objective was to explore whether temporal patterns six emerging cardiometabolic biomarkers predict future adverse clinical events stable patients with CHF. Methods In 263 CHF, we determined the risk a composite end point hospitalization, cardiac death, left ventricular assist device...
The alcoholic liver disease (ALD)/nonalcoholic fatty (NAFLD) (ANI) scoring system was constructed as a response to clinical need for avoiding the risks of biopsy in diagnosing etiology disease. aim this study test reliability ANI noninvasive method distinguish ALD from NAFLD.One hundred and thirty-five patients were classified into two groups, NAFLD, according pathohistological results. Parameters are aspartate aminotransferase, alanine mean corpuscular volume, BMI, sex. calculated using an...
BackgroundOur aim was to explore potential use of temporal profiles seven emerging cardio-renal and two pulmonary candidate biomarkers for predicting future adverse clinical outcome in stable patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).MethodsIn 263 CHF patients, we determined the risk a composite endpoint HF-hospitalization, cardiac death, LVAD-placement transplantation relation repeatedly assessed (567 samples total) blood biomarker levels, slopes their trajectories (i.e., rate change per...
Abstract Objectives Details of the biological variability high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and ST2 are currently lacking in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but crucial knowledge when aiming to use these biomarkers for personalized risk prediction. In current study, we report post-ACS kinetics hs-CRP, NT-proBNP ST2. Methods BIOMArCS is a prospective, observational study high frequency blood sampling during 1...
Background and aimsWe investigated whether plasma cystatin C (CysC) neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are associated with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis 1-year adverse events in patients normal mildly-to-moderately impaired kidney function.MethodsBetween 2008 2011, virtual histology (VH)-IVUS a non-culprit artery was performed 581 undergoing angiography. Creatinine, CysC NGAL were measured pre-procedural blood samples....
Abstract Background It is uncertain that chronic heart failure (CHF) patients are susceptible to renal tubular damage with of worsening function (WRF) preceding clinical outcomes. Hypothesis Changes in biomarkers stronger predictors subsequent events than changes creatinine (Cr), and both have different determinants. Methods During 2.2 years, we repeatedly simultaneously collected a median 9 blood 8 urine samples per patient 263 CHF patients. We determined the slopes (rates change) biomarker...
Background Renal dysfunction and anaemia are common in patients with acute heart failure (HF). It is not known whether their combined presence has additive prognostic value. We investigated value separately combination, on prognosis HF patients. Furthermore, we examined the improvement was comparable between without renal dysfunction. Methods results This prospective registry includes 1783 admitted to (Intensive) Coronary Care Unit for period of 1985–2008. The outcome measure composite...
A 74-year-old man with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement presented acute severe insufficiency and cardiogenic shock secondary to Diphtheroides Enterococcus endocarditis. The patient was deemed be not surgical candidate by the multidisciplinary team underwent rescue transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement, resulting in complete recovery. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
BackgroundImpaired renal function predicts mortality in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but its evolution immediately following index ACS and preceding next has not been described detail. We aimed to describe this using serial measurements of creatinine, glomerular filtration rate [eGFRCr] cystatin C [CysC].MethodsFrom 844 patients included the BIOMArCS study, we analysed patient-specific longitudinal marker trajectories from case-cohort 187 determine risk endpoint (cardiovascular death or...
