Effect of erythropoietin on exercise capacity in patients with moderate to severe chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are frequently anemic. An increase in hemoglobin could enhance exercise performance by increasing oxygen delivery. We investigated the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on exercise performance in anemic patients with CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-six anemic patients aged 57+/-11 years were randomized to receive EPO (15 000 to 30 000 IU per w...
متن کاملAmbulatory extra-aortic counterpulsation in patients with moderate to severe chronic heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy of a novel implantable extra-aortic counterpulsation system (C-Pulse) in functional class III and ambulatory functional class IV heart failure (HF) patients. BACKGROUND 30% to 40% of HF patients suffer from poor functional status and quality of life (QoL) but are not in need of end-stage treatments. We undertook...
متن کاملSick euthyroid syndrome in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Changes in peripheral thyroid hormone concentration and metabolism can occur in euthyroid patients suffering from severe non-thyroidal illnesses. Recently, sick euthyroid syndrome has been reported in patients suffering from advanced heart failure. AIM This study was to evaluate prospectively the presence and pathophysiological implications of sick euthyroid syndrome in moderate-to...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy improves heart rate profile and heart rate variability of patients with moderate to severe heart failure.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to report long-term changes of cardiac autonomic control by continuous, device-based monitoring of the standard deviation of the averages of intrinsic intervals in the 288 five-min segments of a day (SDANN) and of heart rate (HR) profile in heart failure (HF) patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). BACKGROUND Data on long-term changes of tim...
متن کاملPredicting death due to progressive heart failure in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to explore the value of noninvasive predictors of death/mode of death in ambulant outpatients with chronic heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Mortality in chronic HF remains high, with a significant number of patients dying of progressive disease. Identification of these patients is important. METHODS We recruited 553 ambulant outpatients age 63 +/- 10 years...
