Diabetes mellitus is an independent predictor of right ventricular dysfunction
Background The World Health Organization estimates that diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 347 million people worldwide and will be the 7 leading cause of death by 2030. Right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction and subsequent dysfunction complicating STEMI is independently associated with a higher mortality. Emerging research suggests that mechanisms for RV dysfunction may be different than tho...
متن کاملTissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases levels in patients with chronic heart failure: an independent predictor of mortality.
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP) are involved in cardiac remodelling. The prognostic utility of TIMP is unknown in chronic heart failure (CHF). AIMS We investigated the association of plasma levels of soluble MMP-9 and TIMP-1 with clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters and estimated their prognostic value in the prediction of all-cau...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic function in hypertensive heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of cardiovascular admissions and hypertensive heart failure (HHF) is the most common cause of HF admissions in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is being increasingly recognized in HF and found to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV systoli...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function in advanced heart failure.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequently encountered in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Both conditions aggravate prognosis and influence clinical decisions. Echocardiography is the screening tool of choice for pulmonary pressures and RV function, although invasive assessment of PH is necessary when advanced therapies are considered. Reversibi...
متن کاملRenal insufficiency as an independent predictor of mortality among women with heart failure.
OBJECTIVES We sought to explore the association between renal insufficiency and mortality among women with heart failure (HF) and to evaluate this risk by the presence of preserved or depressed systolic function. BACKGROUND Although HF is common in older women, little is known about their risk factors for mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study retrospectively analyzed data from th...
