This study examined the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and determined patient characteristics associated with favorable NT-proBNP reduction response. reflect cardiac wall stress predict event risk in patients acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Post-hoc analysis TRANSITION (Comparison Pre- Post-discharge Initiation Sacubitril/Valsartan Therapy HFrEF Patients After an Acute Decompensation Event) study, including stabilized...
Multivalvular endocarditis (MVE) is an uncommon presentation and mostly involves mitral aortic valves. Here, we present a case of MVE with unusual bizarre on Halloween night massive degree valve destruction right- left-side involvement requiring emergent surgery. A 51-year-old male patient intravenous drug usage presented anorexia, fever, dyspnea, rapidly progressing to septic shock multiorgan dysfunction. Initial blood cultures detected meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic...
ABSTRACT Purpose This study explores the effects of anthracycline chemotherapy (AC) on breast cancer patients, focusing changes in body composition, advanced echocardiographic parameters at rest and during exercise, biomarkers; subsequently assesses whether these are associated with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Methods In this prospective study, we evaluated women early‐stage undergoing AC three visits: before AC, 1 month after, 6 months post‐AC. Results The included 32 cancer,...
Cardiomyopathy is a manifestation of mitochondrial cytopathies, but rarely constitutes the dominant feature, especially in adults. We report case 59-year-old male with personal and maternal history diabetes deafness, who presented cardiomyopathy kidney disease. diagnosed patient as having cytopathy resulting from 3243A>G mutation on tRNA<sup>Leu(UUR)</sup> gene DNA. The family history, broad spectrum clinical manifestations fluctuant course provided clues to diagnosis. discuss...
•Uhl's anomaly is an extremely rare entity.•This disease characterized by isolated RV dilatation and failure.•There no ideal treatment patients have poor prognosis high mortality.
Heart failure (HF) patients are at constant risk of decompensation, and urgent hospital admissions can be life-threatening events. Monitoring biological variables has been proved to an important mechanism anticipate decompensations. TriageHF is a validated diagnostic algorithm tool available on Medtronic® cardiac implantable electronic devices that combines physiological data stratify patient's HF hospitalization in the following 30 days low, medium or high risk. We aimed evaluate utility...
Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an entity commonly associated with neuropathy, a factor that may have repercussions on the cardiovascular system, specifically in its capacity to respond stimuli. Objectives To evaluate response exercise diabetic patients, comparing it control group. Methods Patients who underwent treadmill eletrocardiographic stress test (EST) between January 2016 and November 2018 without influence of negative chronotropic medication were included. Results A...

Introduction: Unintentional injuries are an important cause of death in adolescents, as well a major ill health. This age group is prone to unintentional due their specific biological, psychological, and social characteristics. To prevent these injuries, it crucial understand prevalence associated factors. The aim this study was identify characterize adolescents potential impact on health life. Material Methods: Prospective, observational, two-center over one year based survey admitted the...
