Statins and Exercise Training Response in Heart Failure Patients: Insights From HF-ACTION.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess for a treatment interaction between statin use and exercise training (ET) response. BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that statins may attenuate ET response, but limited data exist in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS HF-ACTION (Heart Failure: A Controlled Trial Investigating Outcomes of Exercise Training) was a randomized trial of 2,331 p...
متن کاملLiver function tests in patients with acute heart failure and associated outcomes: insights from ASCEND-HF.
AIMS We aimed to characterize abnormal liver function tests in patients with heart failure (HF), as they are commonly encountered yet poorly defined. METHODS AND RESULTS We used data from ASCEND-HF (Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Decompensated Heart Failure) to characterize associations with baseline liver function tests (LFTs). Each LFT was analysed as both a continuo...
متن کاملGalectin-3 in ambulatory patients with heart failure: results from the HF-ACTION study.
BACKGROUND Galectin-3 is a soluble ß-galactoside-binding lectin released by activated cardiac macrophages. Elevated levels of galectin-3 have been found to be associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure. We evaluated the association between galectin-3 and long-term clinical outcomes in ambulatory heart failure patients enrolled in the HF-ACTION study. METHODS AND RESULTS H...
متن کاملMuscle wasting in patients with chronic heart failure: results from the studies investigating co-morbidities aggravating heart failure (SICA-HF).
AIMS To assess the prevalence and clinical impact of reductions in the skeletal muscle mass of patients with chronic heart failure (HF). Chronic HF is accompanied by co-morbidities that influence the quality of life and outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively enrolled 200 patients with chronic HF. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass of the arms and the legs combined, was assessed by ...
متن کاملLoop diuretic efficiency: a metric of diuretic responsiveness with prognostic importance in acute decompensated heart failure.
BACKGROUND Rather than the absolute dose of diuretic or urine output, the primary signal of interest when evaluating diuretic responsiveness is the efficiency with which the kidneys can produce urine after a given dose of diuretic. As a result, we hypothesized that a metric of diuretic efficiency (DE) would capture distinct prognostic information beyond that of raw fluid output or diuretic dose...
