Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
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 ... -
Association of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with left ventricular hypertrophy on transthoracic echocardiography
(2020)Introduction: Arterial hypertension is the most frequent cause for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and may also cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We sought to analyze whether hypertensive sICH etiology ... -
Atrial Cardiopathy and Likely Pathogenic Patent Foramen Ovale in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
(2021)Background Atrial cardiopathy and likely pathogenic patent foramen ovale (PFO) are two potential embolic sources in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between these two mechanisms ... -
Cardiotoxicity of Chemical Substances: An Emerging Hazard Class
(2022)(1) Background: Human health risks and hazards from chemical substances are well regulated internationally. However, cardiotoxicity, is not defined as a stand-alone hazard and therefore there are no defined criteria for ... -
Chronic Heart Failure: Diagnosis and Management beyond LVEF Classification
(2022)[No abstract available] -
Coexisting morbidity burden in elderly hospitalized patients with and without heart failure
(2022)Introduction: Aging, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and heart failure (HF) increase the coexisting morbidity (CM) burden. This study compared the contribution of HF with this increase in elderly patients hospitalized for ... -
A critical appraisal of the pharmacological management of stable angina
(2021)The once dominant plaque-centric model of the pathophysiology and management of coronary artery disease (CAD) has long been questioned by a bulk of experimental and clinical evidence suggesting, among others, that coronary ... -
Identification of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source and low risk of new incident atrial fibrillation: The AF-ESUS score
(2021)Background and aims: Only a minority of patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) receive prolonged cardiac monitoring despite current recommendations. The identification of ESUS patients who have low ... -
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. ... -
Left ventricular hypertrophy and sudden cardiac death
(2022)Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and it remains a public health problem, as it involves young subjects. Current guideline-directed risk stratification for primary prevention is ... -
Pathogenesis of chronic heart failure: cardiovascular aging, risk factors, comorbidities, and disease modifiers
(2022)Chronic heart failure (HF) is rare in the young and common in the elderly in the Western world. HF in the young is usually due to specific causes, predominantly or exclusively affecting the heart (adult congenital heart ... -
Prevalence of depression and associated factors in patients hospitalized with heart failure
(2019)OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of depression and to identify associated factors in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF) using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). METHOD The study sample consisted of ... -
Ranolazine Added to Amiodarone Facilitates Earlier Conversion of Atrial Fibrillation Compared to Amiodarone-Only Therapy
(2017)Background: Amiodarone (AMIO) is for many years effectively used to control ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) and to convert it into sinus rhythm. However, due to its delayed onset of action, ranolazine ... -
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 ... -
Renal biomarkers and outcomes in outpatients with heart failure: The Atlanta cardiomyopathy consortium
(2016)Background/objectives Cystatin-C and beta-2-microglobulin may be superior to serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), or estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) in patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF). We ... -
Renin-angiotensin-system inhibition in the context of corona virus disease-19: experimental evidence, observational studies, and clinical implications
(2021)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 which binds and enters the host cells through the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)2. While the potential for benefit ... -
Repetitive use of levosimendan in advanced heart failure: need for stronger evidence in a field in dire need of a useful therapy
(2017)Patients in the latest stages of heart failure are severely compromised, with poor quality of life and frequent hospitalizations. Heart transplantation and left ventricular assist device implantation are viable options ... -
The role of TNF-α, Fas/Fas ligand system and NT-proBNP in the early detection of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction in cancer patients treated with anthracyclines
(2015)Background: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity typically presents as congestive heart failure (CHF). As immuno-inflammatory activation and apoptosis are important mechanisms in the process of heart failure, the use of ... -
