Characteristics of patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who are referred for hospice care.
BACKGROUND Hospice is a potential option for patients with end-stage heart failure whose symptoms and clinical status have progressed despite maximal medical therapy. However, little is known about hospice referral practices when patients are admitted because of acute decompensated heart failure. METHODS Data from the Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Registry (ADHERE) were analyzed from Octo...
متن کاملHeart failure CARDIAC TRANSPLANTATION
As a consequence of improved management in acute coronary syndromes and improved longevity of the population, the number of patients with heart failure is growing. The prevalence and incidence in industrialised countries are estimated to be around 1% and 0.15% of the population, respectively. Up to 10% of people with heart failure are at an advanced stage, amounting to 300 000 patients in the U...
متن کاملBosentan effects on hemodynamics and clinical outcome in heart failure patients with pulmonary hypertension awaiting cardiac transplantation.
BACKGROUND In heart failure (HF) patients, pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with a poor prognosis. We assessed whether low dose treatment with the dual endothelin-1 receptor antagonist bosentan is associated with improved hemodynamics and clinical outcome in these patients. METHODS We performed a retrospective data analysis in 82 end-stage heart failure patients on the waiting list f...
متن کاملThe Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) can predict outcomes in ambulatory patients with advanced heart failure who have been referred for cardiac transplantation evaluation
Risk stratification in heart failure (HF) patients is an important element for management. There are several risk stratification models that can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with HF, such as Aaronson's scale, CVM-HF (CardioVascular Medicine Heart Failure), the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) and the Munich score. These models fail to adequately address the impact of multiorga...
متن کاملHeart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
When pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular dysfunction accompany heart failure, the impact on functional capacity and prognosis are ominous. Newer clinical strategies to preferentially lower pulmonary pressures and pulmonary vascular tone improve functional performance and symptoms of heart failure by targeting the nitric oxide signal transduction pathways, as with PDE5 inhibition. ...
