Heart failure is a syndrome characterized initially by left ventricular dysfunction that triggers countermeasures aimed to restore cardiac output. These responses are compensatory at first but eventually become part of the disease process itself ...

Percutaneous atrioseptostomy for right heart failure after left pneumonectomy.
30 Oct 2009 We present a case of right heart failure after left pneumonectomy as a result of an isolated, contralateral partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. We successfully treated this with percutaneous atrioseptostomy. For unstable patients with ...

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the impact of diabetes mellitus and related comorbidities on long-term survival of heart failure patients who had undergone surgical ventricular restoration. Surgical ventricular restoration is an optional ...

Left ventricular assist devices: psychosocial challenges in the elderly.
30 Oct 2009 As the baby boom generation ages, the number of people with heart failure is expected to rise exponentially. A rapid increase in the demand for heart transplants will result in an increased use of left ventricular assist devices. This case ...

Diagnostic and prognostic value of uric acid in patients with acute dyspnea.
30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Uric acid was shown to predict outcome in patients with stable chronic heart failure. Its impact in patients admitted in the Emergency Department with acute dyspnea, however, remains unknown. METHODS: We prospectively investigated the ...

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Dietary sodium indiscretion frequently contributes to hospitalizations in elderly heart failure patients. Animal models suggest an important role for dietary sodium intake in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved systolic ...

Risk factors for heart failure: a population-based case-control study.
30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The relative contribution of risk factors to the development of heart failure remains controversial. Further, whether these contributions have changed over time or differ by sex is unclear. Few population-based studies have been ...

When drugs disappear from the patient: elimination of intravenous medication by hemodiafiltration.
30 Oct 2009 Twenty-three hours after heart transplantation, life-threatening acute right heart failure was diagnosed in a patient requiring continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). Increasing doses of catecholamines, sedatives, and muscle relaxants ...

A hemodynamic profile for consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
30 Oct 2009 We report the quantification of a hemodynamic profile sufficient to support consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 62-yr-old man experienced cardiac arrest while being evaluated for heart failure after heart transplantation. During ...

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether different profiles of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) values assessed over time would yield incremental prognostic information on clinically stable outpatients with heart failure (HF). ...
