Recently, new diagnostic m...
متن کاملUse of myeloperoxidase for risk stratification in acute heart failure.
BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a biomarker of inflammation and oxidative stress produced by neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells. Concentrations of MPO predict mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. This study sought to investigate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of MPO in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS We prospectively enrolled 667 pati...

A host of factors have been identif...
متن کاملA risk stratification tool predicted in-hospital mortality in acute decompensated heart failure.
M e t h o d s Design: 2 cohort studies, 1 for derivation and 1 for validation (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry [ADHERE]). Setting: 263 centers in the United States. Patients: Patients in the ADHERE registry were ≥ 18 years of age and had new-onset ADHF or decompensation of chronic HF with symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization. 33 046 hospitalizations (mean age 73...
