[Holter heart rhythm disorders in patients with acute kidney injury during hemodialysis].

Background: The presence of acute renal injury has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (sudden death and arrhythmias).

Objective: To know the frequency of heart rhythm disorders documented by Holter in patients in need of intermittent hemodialysis due to acute renal injury.

Material And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted including patients with a diagnosis of acute renal injury who received intermittent hemodialysis; demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 28 patients.

STEMI and NSTEMI: Real-world Study in Mexico (RENASCA).

Introduction: Mexico is the country with the highest mortality due to acute myocardial infarction in adults older than 45 years old according to the OECD (28 vs. 7.5% of the average).

Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Factor Control Improves Survival: The BARI 2D Trial.

Background: It is unclear whether achieving multiple risk factor (RF) goals through protocol-guided intensive medical therapy is feasible or improves outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: This study sought to quantify the relationship between achieved RF goals in the BARI 2D (Bypass Angioplasty Investigation Revascularization 2 Diabetes) trial and cardiovascular events/survival.

Methods: We performed a nonrandomized analysis of survival/cardiovascular events and control of 6 RFs (no smoking, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <130 mg/dl, triglycerides <150 mg/dl, blood pressure [systolic <130 mm Hg; diastolic <80 mm Hg], glycosylated hemoglobin <7%) in BARI 2D.
