Article Synopsis
- DRESS syndrome is a rare and serious hypersensitivity reaction that affects the skin and internal organs, especially the kidneys, typically occurring 2 to 8 weeks after starting certain medications, including antiepileptics and allopurinol.
- Two case reports highlight patients experiencing severe symptoms, including kidney injury and skin lesions, following drug use; both improved after stopping the medications and starting steroid treatment.
- Diagnosis of DRESS can be challenging due to its varied symptoms, making thorough evaluation of symptoms, drug history, and lab results crucial for effective treatment.
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that hyponatremia is associated with unfavorable prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). However, only few studies aimed at the evaluation of long-term outcome in hyponatremic patients hospitalized for HF.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess clinical characteristics and 1-year outcome of patients hospitalized for HF with hyponatremia at hospital admission.
Background: Resting heart rate (HR) has been proven to influence long-term prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between resting HR at hospital admission and hospital outcome in patients with HF.
Methods: The study included Polish patients admitted to hospital due to HF who agreed to participate in Heart Failure Pilot Survey of the European Society of Cardiology.
