Inflammatory processes are involved not only in coronary artery disease but also in heart failure (HF). Cardiogenic shock (CS) and septic shock are classically distinct although intricate relationships are frequent in daily practice. The impact of admission inflammation in patients with CS is largely unknown.

Recent Findings: Despite recent improvements in the management of IAD, patients with IAD still have an increased CV mortality and CV complications, mostly related to CV risk factors such as hypertension and inflammation. We systematically searched MEDLINE and EMBASE libraries for controlled studies involving hypertension and CV complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Sjogren's syndrome (SS), or antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) between January 2000 and March 2022.
: Acute heart failure (AHF) represents a leading cause of unscheduled hospital stays, frequent rehospitalisations, and mortality worldwide. The aim of our study was to develop a bedside prognostic tool, a multivariable predictive risk score, that is useful in daily practice, thus providing an early prognostic evaluation at admission and an accurate risk stratification after discharge in patients with AHF. : This study is a subanalysis of the STADE HF study, which is a single-centre, prospective, randomised controlled trial enrolling 123 patients admitted to hospital for AHF.

- The study investigates the link between high vitamin B12 levels and mortality in inpatient settings, particularly focusing on older patients with various health issues.
- It compares 165 patients with elevated B12 levels to 165 patients with normal levels, revealing that those with high B12 were generally younger but had a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases and had come from intensive care units.
- Results indicate a significant association between elevated B12 levels and increased risk of death within one year, highlighting the potential role of high B12 as a warning sign for short-term mortality.
