Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibition in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: an expert consensus position paper
(2022)The short-term mortality and rehospitalization rates after admission for acute heart failure (AHF) remain high, despite the high level of adherence to contemporary practice guidelines. Observational data from non-randomized ... -
Antihypertensive Medication Class and the Risk of Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of the Prospective HELIAD Cohort
(2022)Background: It is unclear whether the main antihypertensive medication classes (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) are ... -
Association of Preoperative Basal Inflammatory State, Measured by Plasma suPAR Levels, with Intraoperative Sublingual Microvascular Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac Surgery
(2022)It remains unknown whether chronic systemic inflammation is associated with impaired microvascular perfusion during surgery. We evaluated the association between the preoperative basal inflammatory state, measured by plasma ... -
Cognitive impairment in heart failure
(2012)Cognitive impairment (CI) is increasingly recognized as a common adverse consequence of heart failure (HF). Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, microembolism, chronic or intermittent cerebral hypoperfusion, and/or ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Do the Kinetics of Antibody Responses Predict Clinical Outcome in Hospitalized Patients With Moderate-to-Severe COVID-19?
(2022)Background/Aim: The relationship between the kinetics of antibody responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. The ... -
Editorial: Nicotine and SARS-CoV-2: COVID-19 may be a disease of the nicotinic cholinergic system

Effect of continuing versus stopping pre-stroke antihypertensive agents within 12 h on outcome after stroke: A subgroup analysis of the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke (ENOS) trial
(2022)Background: It is not known whether to continue or temporarily stop existing antihypertensive drugs in patients with acute stroke. Methods: We performed a prospective subgroup analysis of patients enrolled into the Efficacy ... -
Epidemiology and importance of renal dysfunction in heart failure patients
(2013)Renal dysfunction (RD) is a frequent comorbid condition and a major determinant of outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). It is likely that the etiology of RD in patients with HF is much more complex than we first ... -
Glycaemic control in heart failure: a PARADIGM shift for patients with concomitant diabetes?

The influence of β-blockade on the hemodynamic effects of levosimendan in elderly (≥=70 years) patients with acutely decompensated systolic heart failure
(2009)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of chronic β-blockade on the hemodynamic parameters in elderly (≥70 years) patients with acutely decompensated systolic heart failure treated with levosimendan. ... -
Management of blood pressure and heart rate in chronic kidney disease
(2017)Background: Hypertension is considered a major health problem in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as approximately 80-85% of CKD patients’ suffer from hypertension in the United States. Hypertension is the second ... -
An NOS3 haplotype is protective against hypertension in a caucasian population
(2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been implicated in the development of hypertension, although the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. In this study, the association of three ... -
Patient-Reported Selective Adherence to Heart Failure Self-Care Recommendations: A Prospective Cohort Study: The Atlanta Cardiomyopathy Consortium
(2013)Simultaneous adherence with multiple self-care instructions among heart failure (HF) patients is not well described. Patient-reported adherence to 8 recommendations related to exercise, alcohol, medications, smoking, diet, ... -
Prediction of long-term outcomes by arterial stiffness and pressure wave reflections in patients with acute stroke: the Athens Stroke Registry
(2022)Background and purpose: Stroke patients' management might be improved by addressing the role of aortic stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity: cfPWV) and pressure wave reflections (PWRs, augmentation index: AIx) ... -
Red blood cell distribution width in elderly hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease
(2021)BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is elevated in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). AIM To determine RDW values and impact of CV and non-CV coexisting morbidities in elderly patients hospitalized ... -
Skeletal muscle relaxants in anaesthesiology
(1999)During the 16th century, European explorers found that the Indians along the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers were using an arrow poison, named curare, that produced death by skeletal paralysis. Curare is one of several different ... -
Tocilizumab improves oxidative stress and endothelial glycocalyx: A mechanism that may explain the effects of biological treatment on COVID-19
