BACKGROUND
Many patients with heart failure have generalized wasting, referred to as cardiac cachexia. This leads to skeletal muscle wasting, impaired mobility, reduced functional capacity and poor prognosis. Patients with heart failure have symptoms that can affect their food intake, for example
OBJECTIVE
To assess the short-term efficacy and safety of an accelerated intravenous iron regimen in hospitalized patients with heart failure and iron deficiency.
METHODS
Prospective, single-arm, open-label study.
METHODS
Large tertiary care medical center.
METHODS
Thirteen patients with New York
OBJECTIVE
We sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of tezosentan, a dual endothelin receptor antagonist, in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (HF).
BACKGROUND
Tezosentan has been previously shown to improve hemodynamics in patients with stable chronic HF.
METHODS
In a
Patients with advanced heart failure (HF) experience many burdensome symptoms that increase patient suffering.Comparative secondary analysis of 347 patients with advanced HF. Symptom burden was measured with the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-HF. METHODS
A 38-year-old man was admitted for increasing dyspnea, nausea and emesis during the preceding year. Clinically he was in heart failure NYHA stage III. He had not been on any regular medication and had no other medical complaints. Physical examination revealed a pulse of 100/min., hypotension
BACKGROUND
Given the importance of patient safety and well-being, we quantified the likelihood and type of medication changes observed after 5 possible adverse effects (AE) perceived by heart failure (HF) patients.
RESULTS
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 18 months follow-up data from
Heart failure (HF)-specific health status (symptom burden, functional status, and health-related quality of life) is an important patient-reported outcome that is associated with palliative care needs, hospitalizations, and death.
To identify potentially modifiable patient-reported factors that
Hiatus hernia (HH) is a frequent condition and is asymptomatic most of the time. Common symptoms can include epigastric pain, postprandial fullness, and nausea. We report a case of postprandial acute right and left heart failure caused by an intrathoracic stomach in a previously asymptomatic woman.
Previous clinical studies with intravenous enoximone have used cumulative dosing to quantify enoximone's hemodynamic effects. The magnitude and duration of the hemodynamic effects of single intravenous doses of enoximone were evaluated in patients with congestive heart failure. Sixty patients, who
Decompensated heart failure continues to significantly impact the economics of our healthcare system. In recent years, the focus on management of decompensated heart failure has changed from solely improving hemodynamics to modifying neurohormones. Endothelin (ET) is one of the important mediators
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic disease process affecting multiple organ systems and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 43-year-old male with a history of unspecified cardiomyopathy who presented to the hospital with abdominal pain, distention,
OBJECTIVE
To observe the changes of serum PDCD5 antibody in chronic ischemic heart failure patients and the effect of carvedilol treatment.
METHODS
Twenty chronic ischemic heart failure patients, 11 males and 9 females, aged 58 +/- 13, with the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45% by
The efficacy of muzolimine (BAY g 2821) in doses of 30 or 60 mg/day was studied over an observation period of 4 weeks in 48 patients with mild to moderate heart failure (NYHA stage 2 or 3) in a biometrically planned, multicentre study. Eleven of these patients were excluded from the evaluation of
OBJECTIVE
Anorexia, nausea and premature satiety with eating, prevalent in congestive heart failure (CHF), have been held responsible for reduced dietary intake and deficiency of magnesium, potassium and probably other nutrients. Since solid data is not available, this study was undertaken with the
