Adverse Outcomes Associated With Interleukin-6 in Patients Recently Hospitalized for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Open
Background: Inflammation may play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We examined whether circulating levels of interleukin-6 identify patients at greater risk of adverse outcomes following hosp…
View article: Investigator-reported ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction
Investigator-reported ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction Open
Aims Few reports have examined the incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) or their relationship with mortality in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) or heart fail…
View article: IGFBP-7 and Outcomes in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
IGFBP-7 and Outcomes in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Open
Higher IGFBP-7 in patients with HFrEF was associated with worse clinical profile and an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes. IGFBP-7 provided prognostic information incremental to clinical variables, NT-proBNP, and hsTnT. The benef…

Coronary perforation incidence and temporal trends (COPIT): systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background Despite advancements in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) technology and techniques, iatrogenic coronary artery perforation (CAP) remains a dreaded potential complication within the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. Dat…

Coronary perforation incidence, outcomes and temporal trends (COPIT): a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Coronary perforation is a potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We studied incidence, outcomes and temporal trends following PCI-related coronary artery perforation (CAP). Methods Prospectiv…

Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin combined are a powerful predictor of outcome in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: an analysis of the ATMOSPHERE and PARADIGM-HF trials Open
Introduction Bilirubin is a recognized predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), possibly because it is a marker of congestion. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme produced in m…

Outcomes related to IGFBP-7 in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction and effects of dapagliflozin: findings from DAPA-HF Open
Introduction Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP-7) has been proposed as a novel prognostic biomarker in heart failure, but the association between IGFBP-7 and cardiovascular outcomes has not been examined in a large cohort…
