Thirteen-year trends in hospitalization and outcomes of patients with heart failure in Spain.

Background: Heart failure is one of the most pressing current public health concerns. However, in Spain there is a lack of population data. We aimed to examine thirteen-year nationwide trends in heart failure hospitalization, in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates in Spain.

Variable Expressivity of a Founder Mutation in the EIF2AK4 Gene in Hereditary Pulmonary Veno-occlusive Disease and Its Impact on Survival.

Introduction And Objectives: Hereditary pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) has been associated with biallelic mutations in EIF2AK4 with the recent discovery of a founder mutation in Iberian Romani patients with familial PVOD. The aims of this study were phenotypical characterization and survival analysis of Iberian Romani patients with familial PVOD carrying the founder p.Pro1115Leu mutation in EIF2AK4, according to their tolerance to pulmonary vasodilators (PVD).
