Pseudonormal mitral filling pattern predicts hospital re-admission in patients with congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate whether pseudonormal (PN) filling was associated with death or hospital admission in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND The high mortality rate associated with CHF is related to many clinical and echocardiographic variables. In particular, a short mitral deceleration time and restrictive diastolic filling predict death and/or hospital ...
متن کاملImpact of Congestive Heart Failure Discharge Planning on Congestive Heart Failure Re-Admission Rates
Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is the most common diagnosis accounting for more healthcare costs than any diagnosis. CHF readmissions contribute significantly to this expenditure. Quality of care in heart failure is linked to process based performance measures. This study evaluated the relationship between adherence to performance metrics and 30 day readmission rates. Methods: This ...
متن کاملPrecipitating factors of congestive heart failure in admitted patients of Fatemieh Hospital in Semnan, Iran
Introduction: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a pathophysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a commensurate rate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues and/or allows it to do so only from an abnormally elevated diastolic volume. In this study, the prevalence of precipitating factors of CHF in Semna...

متن کاملMitral valve abnormalities in congestive heart failure
itral regurgitation (MR) of at least mild severity is present n up to 90% of patients with advanced congestive heart ailure (CHF) due to systolic dysfunction (1). It had long een assumed that MR results primarily from left ventriclar (LV) and mitral annular enlargement due to pathologic emodeling, with contributions as well from regional wall otion abnormalities and papillary muscle dysfunction...
