This study investigates the prognosis of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) on admission (i.e., primary ADHF) as compared to ADHF onset during course of hospitalization (i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The study investigates the prognostic impact of sex and sex-related differences in patients hospitalized with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). More data regarding the characterization of patients and their outcomes in the presence of HFmrEF are needed.
Methods And Results: Consecutive patients hospitalized with HFmrEF (ie, left ventricular ejection fraction 41%-49% and signs or symptoms of HF) were retrospectively included at one institution from 2016 to 2022.
Objective: The study investigates the prognostic impact of dyskalemias in patients hospitalized with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF).
Background: Although dyskalemias represent a common complication in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), data concerning the prevalence and prognostic impact of dyskalemias in HFmrEF is limited.
Methods: Consecutive patients with HFmrEF were retrospectively included at one institution from 2016 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of metal/element exposures on the gut microbiome in children aged 8 to 12, exploring the relationships between 19 different stool metal concentrations and microbiome profiles within a cohort of 116 participants from the GESTE study.
- - Significant associations were found, such as positive correlations between zinc (Zn) and certain microbiome species, while cadmium (Cd) was linked to declines in specific gut bacteria, indicating that metal exposure could affect the composition of the gut microbiome.
- - The research also identified 490 functional pathways related to microbiome activities, suggesting that these metal exposures could influence crucial processes like amino acid synthesis and carbohydrate degradation, highlighting the need for further research on their implications
