Incidencia e importancia pronóstica del deterioro de la función renal en pacientes hospitalizados con insuficiencia cardíaca
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2013)
Background: Acute deterioration of kidney function among patients admitted
to the hospital for cardiac failure is associated with an increased mortality. Aim: To
investigate the association between deterioration of kidney ...
The Optimize Heart Failure Care Program: Initial lessons from global implementation
(ElsevierGrupo para el Estudio de las Enfermedades CardiovascularesAmsterdam, Países Bajos, 2021)
Incidencia y letalidad intrahospitalaria por insuficiencia cardiaca en Chile: ¿Existen diferencias por sexo?
(Sociedad Médica Santiago, 2017)
Background: Gender may influence the incidence, severity and hospital mortality due to heart failure (HF). Aim: To evaluate the influence of sex on the proportion of patients hospitalized due to heart failure, its incidence ...
Tuberculosis and the Heart
(Reino Unido, 2021-03-18)
Acquired tuberculosis continues to be a challenge worldwide. Although tuberculosis has been considered a global public health emergency, it remains poorly controlled in many countries. Despite being primarily ...
Multiple Coronary Fistulas After Several Penetrating Chest Wounds: A Rare Case of Refractory Heart Failure
(Reino Unido, 2021-01-05)
Coronary artery fistulas are rare coronary abnormalities. Most of these fistulas have a congenital origin, and only a few are acquired. We report the case of a patient with late-acquired multiple coronary fistulas secondary ...
Primer puente a trasplante cardiaco exitoso en Chile usando el dispositivo Heart Mate II
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2014)
Implantable ventricular assist devices are an effective treatment option for end-stage heart failure patients as a bridge to cardiac transplantation, to improve the clinical condition and organ function allowing discharge ...
Relationship between mechanical and metabolic dyssynchrony with left bundle branch block: Evaluation by 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in patients with non-ischemic heart failure
(2012)
Background: Ventricular dyssynchrony is a common finding in patients with heart failure (HF), especially in the presence of conduction delays. The loss of ventricular synchrony leads to progressive impairment of contractile ...
Effects of carvedilol on oxidative stress and chronotropic response to exercise in patients with chronic heart failure
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2005-10)
Background: Our previous studies suggest that the increase in heart rate from rest to peak exercise is reduced in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and this is associated with increased oxidative stress, as determined ...
Xanthine-oxidase inhibitors and statins in chronic heart failure: Effects on vascular and functional parameters
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011-04)
Increased oxidative stress in heart failure (HF) leads to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (ED). Both statins and allopurinol have known anti-oxidant properties, but their utility in HF has not been fully assessed.
