Studies published during the last decade seem to indicate red blood cell parameters as inexpensive, rapidly available, and simple tools for assessment of prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).To evaluate prognostic value determined a routine count CHF.The study group included 165 New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV CHF hospitalised 2nd Department Cardiology Bydgoszcz. On first day hospitalisation, all underwent complete an haemoglobin (Hb) level, mean corpuscular...
Background and Purpose. The main goal of the study was to assess usefulness plasma concentrations catestatin as a predictor composite endpoint (CE): unplanned hospitalization death for all causes in patients with HFrEF midterm follow-up. Experimental Approach. group consisted 52 Caucasian NYHA classes II III. control 24 healthy volunteers. biomarkers, whose concentration assessed before after physical exertion well variability their under influence exertion, were NT-proBNP, troponin T,...
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate prognostic value measuring plasma catestatin (CST) concentration in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) as a predictor unplanned hospitalization and all-cause death independently composite endpoint at 2-year follow-up. group includes 122 hospitalized Caucasian NYHA classes II IV. Patients who died during 24-month follow-up period (n = 44; 36%) were significantly older on day enrollment, more likely be higher class,...
Background: Melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) is a marker of endothelial damage. MCAM diagnostic and prognostic value was assessed in chronic heart failure (CHF). Materials & methods: 130 CHF patients 32 controls were included the study. Telephone follow-up lasted one year. End points were: death from all causes, hospitalization with exacerbation. Results: higher than (p = 0.01). Receiver operator curve analysis revealed that may serve as predictor (area under curve: 0.8404; p < 0.002)....
Background and aim: This study was designed to clarify the impact of short-term consumption different types alcoholic beverages on haemostatic factors, C-reactive protein (hsCRP) endothelin-1 (E-1) plasma levels. Methods: The group consisted 57 healthy male volunteers, aged 20–29 years. Subjects were randomised consume 300 mL red wine, white 12% ethanol, blackcurrant juice or water for five days. Blood samples collected CRP, tissue type plasminogen activator antigen (t-PA:Ag), inhibitor...
Introduction . Procalcitonin (PCT) is an excellent marker of sepsis but was not extensively studied in cardiology. The present study investigated PCT plasma concentration patients with chronic heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and its prognostic value during 24-month follow-up. Material Methods Study group consisted 130 HFrEF (LVEF ≤ 45%) 32 controls. level assessed on admission all patients. Telephone follow-up performed every three months over a period 2 years. Endpoints were...
According to current European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment heart failure (HF), cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is indicated in patients suffering from HF with reduced ejection fraction (EF) significantly widened QRS complexes. The presence vital myocardium proven by dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) considered as a good prognostic factor responsiveness this treatment. Chronotropic incompetence is, on other hand, known unfavourable outcome...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest complex cardiac arrhythmia, affecting approximately 2% of general population. Aim: To describe cardiovascular changes in tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) and impedance cardiography (ICG) AF patients subjected to cardioversion. Methods: Forty-one (22 males 19 females) with acute or persistent were examined by means TDE transthoracic ICG before electroversion, then one week following restoration sinus rhythm. Additionally, preand...
Background This is the first study to examine clinical utility of measuring plasma secretoneurin (SN) levels in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), as a predictor unplanned hospitalization, and all-cause mortality independently, composite endpoint at one-year follow-up.
