Erratum: Serum bilirubin as a prognostic marker in patients with acute decompensated heart failure
BACKGROUND/AIMS Several prognostic markers for heart failure (HF) have been determined but the importance of liver function tests (LFTs) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance, if any, of abnormal LFTs in acute decompensated HF. METHODS All adult patients (> 18 years of age) who were admitted to a community hospital with a diagnosis of acute decomp...

متن کاملThe Role of Ultrafiltration in Patients with Decompensated Heart Failure
Congestion, due in large part to hypervolemia, is the primary driver of heart failure (HF) admissions. Relief of congestion has been traditionally achieved through the use of loop diuretics, but there is increasing concern that these agents, particularly at high doses, may be deleterious in the inpatient setting. In addition, patients with HF and the cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) have diminished r...
متن کاملDiuretic strategies in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
BACKGROUND Loop diuretics are an essential component of therapy for patients with acute decompensated heart failure, but there are few prospective data to guide their use. METHODS In a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned 308 patients with acute decompensated heart failure to receive furosemide administered intravenously by means of either a bolus every 12 hours or continu...
متن کاملEndothelial cell activation in patients with decompensated heart failure.
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial functions, other than nitric oxide (NO)-mediated control of vasomotor tone, are poorly characterized in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Veins and arteries are exposed to the same circulating proinflammatory mediators in patients with CHF. The present study tested whether endothelial cell activation occurs in veins of patients with decompensated CHF and...
