Risk stratification in chronic heart failure.
Despite advances in medical and surgical management, the prognosis of chronic heart failure remains poor. Few patients with chronic heart failure can be considered to have a good prognosis, but different trials have indicated a 6 month mortality between 5% and 60% depending on the severity of heart failure; identifying patients at truly low risk is difficult. A host of factors have been identif...
متن کاملUsefulness of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in risk stratification of patients with advanced heart failure.
Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with increased mortality in patients with acute heart failure (HF) and neoplastic diseases. We investigated the association between NLR and mortality or cardiac transplantation in a retrospective cohort of 527 patients presented to the Cleveland Clinic for evaluation of advanced HF therapy options from 2007 to 2010. Patients were...
متن کاملTriiodothyronine levels for risk stratification of patients with chronic heart failure.
PURPOSE We sought to explore the use of triiodothyronine (T(3)) concentrations as an adjunct to clinical and functional parameters when estimating prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure. METHODS We enrolled 281 patients with postischemic (n = 153) or nonischemic (n = 128) dilated cardiomyopathy. Total and free T(3) concentrations, and traditional clinical and functional cardiac para...
متن کاملHeart Failure Role of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Risk Stratification of Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
OBJECTIVES Using a prospective study design, we assessed the value of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) to identify patients with heart failure who have an increased risk of deterioration of their functional status. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between BNP and various clinical characteristics incorporated into an established survival model used for risk stratification. BACKGROUND Pre...
متن کاملMolecular risk stratification in advanced heart failure patients
Risk stratification in advanced heart failure (HF) is crucial for the individualization of therapeutic strategy, in particular for heart transplantation and ventricular assist device implantation. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac gene expression profiling can distinguish between HF patients with different disease severity. We obtained tissue samples from both left (LV) and right (RV) ventr...
