To investigate whether the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is independently associated with adverse short-term outcomes in patients diagnosed with acute heart failure (AHF) in the emergency department (ED). We performed a secondary analysis of patients included in the EAHFE registries 4&5. Patients were divided by the presence of sinus rhythm ...

The implications of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) in the context of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are still controversial. The objective of our study was thus to investigate the incidence and prognostic impact of PPM after TAVI. Our analysis included 613 TAVI patients in whom the indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) after TAVI...

Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) may additionally suffer from a concealed sinus node disease. We sought to determine the incidence, indications and predictors of acute pacemaker [PM] implantation within 1 week after the ablation of persistent AF. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients, who had had an ablation of persiste...

Myocardial infarction triggers an inflammatory response involved in cardiac repair. We studied the association of the interleukin 6 (IL-6) cascade with infarct size and cardiac function after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In 369 STEMI patients IL-6, soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R), and soluble glycoprotein (sgp) 130 were measured at ba...

The purpose of this pilot study was to assess whether renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) decreases atrial fibrillation (AF) burden in hypertensive patients with symptomatic AF at 6- and 12-month follow-up, as measured using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM). A total of 20 patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent AF (EHRA ≥ II) and pri...

Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) has been believed to be irreversible. However, this has not been confirmed and standard medical treatment for heart failure (HF) including renin-angiotensin inhibitors and β-blockers may lead to its recovery. We thus retrospectively studied 350 cancer patients recei...

Patients with chronic conditions, such as heart failure, swim regularly and most rehabilitation exercises are conducted in warm hydrotherapy pools. However, little is known about the acute effects of warm water immersion (WWI) on cardiac haemodynamics in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Seventeen patients with CHF (NYHA I and II; mean age...

Late perforation of the atrial wall after pacemaker implantation frequently remains asymptomatic but may cause chest pain, dyspnea or syncope. Perforation can also lead to rarer complications such as hemoptysis and pneumopericardium. We present the case of a patient who developed progressive hemoptysis 3 years after a dual-chamber pacemaker implant...

BACKGROUND:Heart failure is heterogeneous in aetiology, pathophysiology, and presentation. Despite this diversity, clinical trials of patients hospitalized for HF deal with this problem as a single entity, which may be one reason for repeated failures.METHODS:The first EuroHeart Failure Survey screened consecutive deaths and discharges of patients ...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important cause of death in patients with left-ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) may attenuate this risk. We aimed to assess the impact of MRAs on SCD in patients with LVSD. A fixed-effect meta-analysis at individual patient-level was performed using 11,032 patien...
