متن کاملPredicting sudden cardiac death in heart failure.
Ahmad et al. (1) suggest that biomarkers related to myocardial stress and fibrosis add some weight to the prediction of mode of death in patients with heart failure–reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF), particularly pump failure as opposed to sudden cardiac death (SCD). A variety of biomarkers have been shown to predict adverse ventricular remodeling/progressive pump failure, including natriureti...
متن کاملHomoarginine, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death in haemodialysis patients
AIMS Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major contributor to the excess mortality of patients on maintenance dialysis. Homoarginine deficiency may lead to decreased nitric oxide availability and endothelial dysfunction. Based on this rationale we assessed whether homoarginine deficiency is a risk factor for SCD in dialysis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS This study examined the association of homo...
