Introduction: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is a pathology increasingly encountered in all hospital departments, including internal medicine. The aim of our study is to describe the characteristics and care pathway of patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in internal medicine and to show that the number of patients diagnosed is increasing.
Methods: Descriptive, retrospective, non-interventional, single-center study at Strasbourg University Hospitals (HUS).
Unlabelled: Type 2 diabetes is a public health problem in which general practitioners are in the front line, acting on all fronts, from screening to management.
Methods: Single-centre, quantitative, retrospective and descriptive study aimed at characterising the profile of patients referred to hospital by general practitioners in an internal medicine department in Strasbourg for rebalancing of their type 2 diabetes during the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022.
Results: 167 files were analysed, resulting in the inclusion of 72 patients with an average age of 61.
Introduction: Patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm may be at significant risk of major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death (CV death).
Objective: To assess CV mortality at a one-year follow up of those patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm, according to LVEF subgroups.
Methods: A prospective and multicentric study was conducted with patients in sinus rhythm included in the National Registry of Heart Failure.
Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a high risk of hospital admission and mortality. This study evaluated the benefit of a care model, characterized by comprehensive and continuous care (UMIPIC program) in patients with HF and a history of COPD.
Methods: A total of 5644 patients were prospectively recruited, of which 1320 had a history of COPD between March 2008 and March 2020.
Aims: To design a strategic framework for the policy and activity of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
Methods: Expert consensus. Participation through expert committees and consultation of internists on the proposed strategic lines.
