Filter by:Around 26 million people suffer from heart failure (HF) globally, and the prevalence is increasing with an increasing longevity, prevalence of risk factors, and improved survival in patients with cardiovascular diseases In Egypt, HF is the primary cause of hospitalization among patients aged > 65 years . Hospitalization for HF is associated with a high mortality and rate of re-hospitalization . Around 75% patients with HF have ≥ 1 comorbidity, and these comorbidities make overall clinical outcomes worse . In a recent meta-analysis, patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were suggested to have a two-fold increase in the risk of HF . DM is present in ~ 35% patients hospitalized with acute HF . Multiple factors such as ischemia, hypertension, and extracellular fluid volume expansion are involved in the pathogenesis of HF in DM. The prevalence of both heart failure (HF) and diabetes has increased over the last decades and is expected to do so in the upcoming decades . Therefore, the presence of diabetes in patients with HF is also likely to increase and this is anticipated to become a major health concern. The actual prevalence of diabetes in patients with acute HF in different registries has varied but may be as high as 45% . Because the structure and function of the heart is directly influenced by the presence of diabetes, diabetes is to be considered to represent more than just a co morbid condition in HF . Diabetes has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the development of HF . Moreover, this risk has been shown to be age and sex dependent. Compared with patients without diabetes, the presence of diabetes doubles the risk of HF in men, and the risk of developing HF in women may be as much as four times higher . These associations may even be stronger in younger patients. Furthermore, the presence of diabetes has been associated with a longer duration of hospitalization and higher rates of rehospitalization among patients with acute HF. Importantly, in patients with HF, it has been established that the presence of diabetes is not only associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity but also with an increased mortality
This protocol proposes to prospectively evaluate current epidemiology, pharmacologic and invasive management and clinical outcomes of patients with acute cardiovascular diseases admitted at our ICCU.
Finerenone will be compared to placebo to determine efficacy and safety of treatment in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Acute heart failure (AHF) is defined as new or worsening of symptoms and signs of heart failure and is the most frequent cause of unplanned hospital admission in elderly patients. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is one of the most developed prognostic markers for AHR patients and. NT-pro-BNP has limitations in terms of diagnostic or predictive accuracy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Plasma proteomics have the potential to examine underlying pathophysiological and prognostic roles, so we compared the plasma proteomic signature to predict outcomes of patients with or without CKD hospitalized for AHF.
Cardiogenic shock is associated with a high mortality. The microbiome is a double-edged sword which can convey protective and detrimental cardiovascular effects. The significance of the enteral micobiome on cardiovascular mortality of patients with cardiogenic shock is still not known. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the role of the enteral microbiome and microbiome dependent metabolites in mortality and disease progression of patients with cardiogenic shock.
This study will address whether the additional use of Ferric Derisomaltose on top of standard care will improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with acute heart failure and iron deficiency. One group of participants will receive treatment with Ferric Derisomaltose and the other group will receive normal saline 0.9% as placebo.
The P-VALUE-AHF trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial on the diuretic and decongestive effects of different diuretic escalation strategies in patients with acute heart failure and diuretic resistance. The main aims are - to compare the diuretic efficacy of three therapeutic strategies in patients with acute heart failure and diuretic resistance. - to assess the improvement in clinical congestion and to compare the symptom-relief among the different treatment regimens
This pragmatic clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of a telemonitoring program with an electronic alert system compared to standard treatment on the perception of self-care in patients after hospitalization for decompensated HF at 3 months post-discharge. And secondarily to evaluate its impact on clinical events, NT-proBNP and efficacy and safety to facilitate the use and titration of the recommended drugs in patients with reduced ejection fraction at 90 days.
This study will address whether the additional use of Ferric Derisomaltose on top of standard care will improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with acute heart failure and iron deficiency. One group of participants will receive treatment with Ferric Derisomaltose and the other group will receive normal saline 0.9% as placebo.
The aim of the study is to compare the differences in diuretic, natriuretic and clinical response to decongestion in patients receiving different replacement fluid regimens (0.9% sodium chloride vs 5% glucose) in acute heart failure.
