Prognostic Value of Treadmill Exercise Echocardiography
(Elsevier, 2005)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Exercise echocardiography (EE) is useful for diagnosing coronary disease, but little is known about its value for risk stratification. We aimed to determine: a) whether data from EE ...
Usefulness of the 2MACE score to predicts adverse cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)
[Abstract] We investigated the incidence of nonembolic adverse events in 2 cohorts of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and validated the 2MACE score ([metabolic syndrome, age ≥75] [doubled]; [myocardial infarction ...
Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction Associated With Lamin A/C Gene Mutations
(Elsevier, 2004-06-23)
[Abstract] LMNA mutations have been associated with familial or sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy (DC), with or without conduction system disease. We studied the LMNA gene in 67 consecutive patients with DC (18 had familial ...
The effect of post-discharge educational intervention on patients in achieving objectives in modifiable risk factors six months after discharge following an episode of acute coronary syndrome, (CAM-2 Project): a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2010-11-22)
[Abstract] Objectives. We investigated whether an intervention mainly consisting of a signed agreement between patient and physician on the objectives to be reached, improves reaching these secondary prevention objectives ...
Effect of a training program for primary care physicians on the optimization of beta-blocker treatment in elderly patients with heart failure
(Elsevier, 2010)
[Abstract] Introduction and objectives. Underuse of beta-blockers may contribute to elevated mortality in chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine whether a specific interventional training program for ...
Safety of statins when response is carefully monitored: a study of 336 heart recipients
(Elsevier, 2005)
[Abstract] Background. Statins are used as first-line drugs against hypercholesterolemia after heart transplantation. Randomized clinical trials have shown that they reduce cholesterol levels, and the incidence of rejection ...
A pragmatic approach to the use of inotropes for the management of acute and advanced heart failure: an expert panel consensus
(Elsevier, 2019-12-15)
[Abstract]
Inotropes aim at increasing cardiac output by enhancing cardiac contractility. They constitute the third pharmacological pillar in the treatment of patients with decompensated heart failure, the other two being ...

[Abstract]
Levosimendan was first approved for clinical use in 2000, when authorization was granted by Swedish regulatory authorities for the hemodynamic stabilization of patients with acutely decompensated chronic heart ...
Penetrance of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Sarcomere Protein Mutation Carriers
(Elsevier, 2020-07-27)
[Abstract]
Background.
Predictive genetic screening of relatives of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by sarcomere protein (SP) gene mutations is current standard of care, but there are few data on ...
Brachial pulse pressure in acute heart failure. Results of the Heart Failure Registry

[Abstract]
Aims To investigate the still uncertain independent prognostic impact of pulse pressure (PP) in acute heart failure (HF), in particular across the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) phenotypes, and the ...
