Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation and Right Atrial Remodeling in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation and Right Atrial Remodeling in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but it has not been well characterized. We hypothesized that right atrial (RA) remodeling would…

Usefulness of Incorporating Hypochloremia into the Get With The Guidelines–Heart Failure Risk Model in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Usefulness of Incorporating Hypochloremia into the Get With The Guidelines–Heart Failure Risk Model in Patients With Acute Heart Failure

Although hypochloremia is strongly associated with adverse prognosis in acute heart failure (AHF), it is unknown whether incorporating hypochloremia into the preexisting risk model improves the model performance. We calculated…
