Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the psychological burden and hypoglycemia awareness in UK islet transplant recipients, focusing on how these factors correlate with baseline HbA1c levels.
- Pre-transplant assessments revealed that participants experienced significant anxiety/depression, impaired quality of life, and elevated fear of hypoglycemia, yet maintained optimism about the potential benefits of the transplant.
- Results indicated that psychological profiles and hypoglycemia awareness did not differ significantly between groups with lower and higher HbA1c levels, suggesting that these psychological factors are prevalent regardless of glycemic control.
Background And Purpose: Heart failure is an independent risk factor for stroke. Anticoagulation is effective for prevention of cardio-embolic stroke secondary to atrial fibrillation or mechanical heart valves but is of uncertain benefit in heart failure patients. We performed this meta-analysis to obtain the best estimates of the efficacy and safety of warfarin as compared with antiplatelet therapy in patients with systolic heart failure who are in sinus rhythm.
