Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac contractility modulation (MSS) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
Materials And Methods: The following studies were performed in 40 patients with CHF and AF before implantation of the MSS device and after 2 and 6 months of follow-up: 12-channel ECG, transthoracic EchoCG, 6-minute walk test, determination of the level of Pro-natriuretic N-terminal peptide (NT-proBNP), daily ECG monitoring, and a questionnaire based on the Minnesota quality of life questionnaire for patients with CHF (MHFLQ). All patients received long-term optimal drug therapy for CHF before surgery.
Results: The results obtained indicate a statistically significant positive effect of the use of MSS in patients with CHF and AF on LV FV, the functional class of CHF, and levels of NT-proBNP regardless of the etiology of CHF.
Conclusion: The use of MSS may be promising for the treatment of heart failure in patients with CHF and AF.

Inferior vena cava diameter in patients with chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study.
Eur J Med Res
January 2025
Medical Big Data Research Center, Medical Innovation Research Division, Chinese PLA General Hospital, 28 Fuxing RD., Beijing, 100853, China.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries the highest population attributable risk for mortality among all comorbidities in chronic heart failure (CHF). No studies about the association between inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and all-cause mortality in patients with the comorbidity of CKD and CHF has been published.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1327 patients with CHF and CKD were included.

Background: Insulin resistance proxy indicators are significantly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. However, the correlations between the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) index and CVD and its subtypes have yet to be thoroughly researched.
Methods: 10,690 respondents with diabetes and prediabetes from the NHANES 1999-2016 were enrolled in the study.
Uncertainty estimation in diagnosis generation from large language models: next-word probability is not pre-test probability.
JAMIA Open
February 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53792, United States.
Objective: To evaluate large language models (LLMs) for pre-test diagnostic probability estimation and compare their uncertainty estimation performance with a traditional machine learning classifier.
Materials And Methods: We assessed 2 instruction-tuned LLMs, Mistral-7B-Instruct and Llama3-70B-chat-hf, on predicting binary outcomes for Sepsis, Arrhythmia, and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) using electronic health record (EHR) data from 660 patients. Three uncertainty estimation methods-Verbalized Confidence, Token Logits, and LLM Embedding+XGB-were compared against an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) classifier trained on raw EHR data.
Relationships between adrenal insufficiency and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with congestive heart failure.
Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis

Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Background And Aims: Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) face elevated risks during various hospitalizations including cardiovascular related admissions. Despite this, limited data exist specifically regarding congestive heart failure (CHF) in the context of AI. This investigation leveraged a comprehensive national database to examine the association between AI and cardiovascular outcomes among patients admitted with CHF.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess associations between endostatin levels and short-term mortality in unsorted acute hospitalised dyspnoea patients with or without congestive heart failure (CHF), adjusted for common cardiovascular risk factors.
Design, Setting And Participants: In this prospective observational study, 723 hospitalised patients who visited the emergency department at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, between 2013 and 2018 were included. Of these, 276 had a history of CHF.
