Introduction: Malnutrition is strongly associated with heart failure (HF); however, the causal link remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to infer causal associations between different nutritional assessment phenotypes and HF and to analyze whether these associations were mediated by common HF risk factors.
Methods: Two-sample bidirectional MR was used to infer causal associations between nutritional assessment phenotypes and HF.
Objective: To reveal that mirror-like tongue, observed a noninvasive inspection, is a powerful indicator of the severity and prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods: This was an observational, prospective study. A total of 408 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were diagnosed with AHF for the first time at Taicang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from August 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the research subjects.
Background: Animal experiments and clinical trials have revealed a potential relationship between sleep disorders and asthma. However, the associations between these factors remain unclear.
Material And Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases for eligible studies published before 30 December 2022.
Rationale: The purpose of this article is to discuss the characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of cases of multiple coronary embolism (CE) highly suspected to be caused by a dislodged aneurysm of the ventricular membranous septum (AVMS) thrombus.
Patient Concerns: A 35-year-old man was rushed to the Chest Pain Center of Taicang TCM Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine for sudden onset of chest pain. The patient had severe and persistent chest pain without relief, accompanied by sweating throughout the body.
Introduction: Heart Failure (HF) is a key area of research in human medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important branch of this field. This study aimed to use bibliometric methods to sort out the trajectory of TCM research on HF in this century (2000-2022) from a high dimension and to analyze its characteristics, hotspots and frontiers.
Methods: In this study, the search formula "TS=(("traditional Chinese medicine") OR ("Chinese medicine")) AND TS=("heart failure")" was used to find relevant studies included in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2000 to 2022.
Objective: To test the effects of Zhuling decoction on patients with diuretic resistance in heart failure compared with a group of patients undergoing conventional treatment alone.
Methods: This research was a prospective, randomized, controlled study. From July 2018 to August 2020, 96 diuretic resistance patients from the Cardiovascular Research Center of Taicang Hospital affiliated with Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Grade III Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) were enrolled in the study.
