Background: In heart failure (HF), not all episodes of decompensation are alike. The study aimed to characterize the clinical groups of decompensation and perform a survival analysis.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients consecutively admitted for HF from 2018 to 2023. Patients who died during admission were excluded (final number 1,668). Four clinical types of HF were defined: low cardiac output (:83), pulmonary congestion (:1,044), mixed congestion (:353), and systemic congestion (:188).
Results: The low output group showed a higher prevalence of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (93%) and increased biventricular diameters ( < 0.01). The systemic congestion group exhibited a greater presence of tricuspid regurgitation with dilatation and right ventricular dysfunction (:0.0001), worse renal function, and higher uric acid and CA125 levels (:0.0001). Diuretics were more commonly used in the mixed and, especially, systemic congestion groups (:0.0001). The probability of overall survival at 5 years was 49%, with higher survival in pulmonary congestion and lower in systemic congestion (:0.002). Differences were also found in survival at 1 month and 1 year (:0.0001).
Conclusions: Mortality in acute HF is high. Four phenotypic profiles of decompensation differ clinically, with distinct characteristics and varying prognosis in the short, medium, and long term.

Aims: Risk prediction indices used in worsening heart failure (HF) vary in complexity, performance, and the type of datasets in which they were validated. We compared the performance of seven risk prediction indices in a contemporary cohort of patients hospitalized for HF.
Methods And Results: We assessed the performance of the Length of stay and number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months (LE), Length of stay, number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months, and admission N-Terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP (LENT), Length of stay, Acuity, Charlson co-morbidity index, and number of Emergency department visits in the prior 6 months (LACE), Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure (GWTG), Readmission Risk Score (RRS), Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment model (EFFECT), and Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) risk indices among consecutive patients hospitalized for HF and discharged alive from January 2017 to December 2019 in a network of hospitals in England.
Emirates consensus recommendations on cardiovascular risk management in type 2 diabetes.

Background: The combination of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is a highly prevalent condition in the United Arab Emirates. Development and dissemination of evidence-based regional recommendations for optimal screening, treatment and referrals of people with diabetes and high cardiovascular risk is an important priority.
Consensus Panel: An expert panel of diabetologists, endocrinologists and cardiologists from the Emirates Cardiac Society and Emirates Diabetes and Endocrine Society as well as different entities in the UAE, discussed and reviewed evidence and also a consensus report from the American Diabetes Association to formulate contextualized recommendations that could be applied for optimal management of cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes in the UAE.
Dapagliflozin for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in Brazil: a cost-effectiveness analysis.

National Institute of Science and Technology for Health Technology Assessment, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Background: Heart failure, a complex clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality, has become a significant burden on public health. Recently, a new class of antidiabetic agents-the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors-was associated with a significant reduction on mortality and hospitalization in HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) when added to standard pharmacological treatment. Considering the lack of data on its cost-effectiveness, the present study aims to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of add-on dapagliflozin treatment for HFrEF from the Brazilian public healthcare system perspective.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening disease associated with a high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for the exploration of novel models to predict the prognosis of this patient population. This study compared the performance of traditional logistic regression and machine learning models in predicting adult sepsis mortality.
Objective: To develop an optimum model for predicting the mortality of adult sepsis patients based on comparing traditional logistic regression and machine learning methodology.
Factors Associated With the Development of Heart Failure Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a major global health burden, encompassing a spectrum of conditions from unstable angina to acute myocardial infarction. Despite advancements in early detection and management, ACS is often complicated by the development of heart failure. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify factors associated with the development of heart failure following acute coronary syndrome.
