Renal Dysfunction in Acute Heart Failure
During treatment of acute heart failure (AHF), worsening renal function is often complicated and results in a complex clinical course. Furthermore, renal dysfunction is a strong independent predictor of long-term adverse outcomes in patients with AHF. Traditionally, the predominant cause of renal dysfunction has been attributed to impairment of cardiac output and relative underfilling of arteri...
متن کاملHigh-Output Heart Failure Due to an Iliac Arterio-Venous Fistula in Mycotic Aneurysm
Herein, we report a patient with arterio-venous fistula secondary to mycotic aneurysm, causing high output heart failure. The patient had one-year history of refractory heart failure and recurrent pulmonary edema. This presentation is a good example of curative surgically treatable cause of high-output congestive heart failure.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 41-44. Keywords ● Arterio-venous fistula...
متن کاملAcute heart failure facts and numbers: acute heart failure populations
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life-threatening emergency, which largely profits from early diagnosis and treatment. The prevalence of AHF is difficult to assess, estimates range between 1 and 12% in the general population. Despite recent therapeutic advances, in-hospital mortality is high with estimates varying from 4 and 18% in different registries. Due to large differences in AHF definitions...

angina was reached. Angina, unfortunately, is a subjective measure. Irrespective of how “objective” the investigators were in determining the success or failure of antianginal therapy, the use of a subjective end point may have inadvertently introduced bias into the trial. It is difficult to draw proper conclusions from such a trial when large crossover rates are allowed. With respect to the Eu...
متن کاملSarcomeric dysfunction in heart failure.
Sarcomeric dysfunction plays a central role in reduced cardiac pump function in heart failure. This review focuses on the alterations in sarcomeric proteins in diseased myocardium that range from altered isoform expression to post-translational protein changes such as proteolysis and phosphorylation. Recent studies in animal models of heart failure and human failing myocardium converge and indi...
