Linking Heart Function to Prognosis: The Role of a Novel Echocardiographic Index and NT-proBNP in Acute Heart Failure Open
Background and Objectives: Risk stratification in acute heart failure (AHF) remains challenging, particularly in settings where biomarker availability is limited. Echocardiography offers valuable hemodynamic insights, but no single paramet…

The predictive discriminative power for short term prognosis of the GWTG score alongside LVEF and TAPSE in acute heart failure based on clinical presentation Open
Background Acute heart failure (AHF) has become a significant public health issue due to high hospitalization costs and resource consumption. Several prognostic scores have been developed based on various clinical and paraclinical paramete…

Serum Lactate, an Independent Prognostic Marker in Normotensive Patients With Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism Open
Objective Serum lactate, a marker of tissue hypoxia, is an important prognostic factor in sepsis, trauma, and cardiogenic shock. Data on the direct correlation of serum lactate and in-hospital mortality in normotensive acute pulmonary thro…

Earlier is Better. New Options for Acute Heart Failure: When, Who, How Much? Open
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem characterised by a high rate of hospitalisation and death. The risk is maximal for patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF). New therapies with solid proof of mortality reduction …

Functional tests in patients with ischemic heart disease Open
Lately, easier and shorter tests have been used in the functional evaluation of cardiac patients. Among these, walking speed (WS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests are associated with all-cause mortality, mainly cardiovascular and the rate o…

Ventricular Remodeling in Aortic Sclerosis Open
Background and aims . Aortic sclerosis associates an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent studies suggest that aortic sclerosis is able to produce ventricular remodeling through inflammatory, non-hemodynamic mec…

Is syncope a predictor of mortality in acute pulmonary embolism? Open
Whether syncope as a presenting symptom independently classifies acute pulmonary embolism (APE) into a high mortality risk group remains a matter of controversy. We retrospectively included all consecutive patients admitted to our clinic w…

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients with heart failure - review. Open
Research conducted in the last two decades suggests that neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the lower limb muscles (NMES) may be a "bridge" to conventional exercise or an alternative for patients with advanced chronic heart failure (C…
