Introduction: Congestive heart failure (HF) is associated with prolonged and recurrent hospitalizations; the prognosis remains poor a better follow up might be beneficial. PRADO-IC program is provided in order to improve the transition of care.
Aim Of The Study: To evaluate PRADO-IC program in term of healthcare consumption and prognosis in a cohort of patients hospitalized for decompensated HF, using the insight of the national data base SNDS (Système National de Données de Santé).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and effects of pathogenic variants in a specific gene related to cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death among patients.
- Out of 9,516 tested individuals, 31 were found to carry pathogenic variants, mostly presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy, with some also experiencing severe cardiac issues.
- Although the overall prognosis for dilated cardiomyopathy in variant carriers seems favorable, severe conditions and early onset were noted, especially in those with double variants.
Recent international guidelines recommend rapid initiation and titration of basic treatments of heart failure but do not explain how to achieve this goal. Despite these recommendations, implementation of treatment in daily practice is poor. This may be partly explained by the profile of the patients (frailty, comorbidities), safety considerations and tolerability issues related to kydney function, low blood pressure or heart rate and hyperkalaemia.

- The study aimed to investigate the effects of the timing of P2Y inhibitor administration on myocardial necrosis during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), utilizing data from the ALPHEUS trial.
- Results revealed that patients who received P2Y inhibitors closer to the PCI procedure had higher rates of myocardial necrosis compared to those who were given the medication earlier, with improved outcomes seen in groups that received longer loading times.
- While the study found a correlation between timing and myocardial injury, it noted that bleeding complications were minimal and did not vary significantly among the different timing groups, leaving long-term clinical effects unclear.
Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with prolonged and recurrent hospitalizations; the prognosis remains poor. Since 2013, the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie (CPAM) has set up a support program PRADO-IC (support program for returning home after hospitalisation for heart failure). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of PRADO-IC on the heart failure readmission rate and death rate at one year.
