Comparative Effectiveness of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Among Patients With Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation: Findings From the National Cardiovascular Data Registry's Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Registry.

Circ Heart Fail

June 2016

From the Duke Clinical Research Institute (P.K., M.A.G., S.M.A.-K., J.P.P., L.H.C., A.F.H.) and Department of Medicine (P.K., S.M.A.-K., J.P.P., L.H.C., A.F.H.), Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC; Veterans Affairs Eastern Colorado Healthcare System, Denver, CO (P.D.V.); University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO (F.A.M.); and Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA and Stanford University School of Medicine, CA (M.P.T.).

Background: Atrial fibrillation is common in patients with heart failure, but outcomes of patients with both conditions who receive cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) compared with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) alone are unclear.

Methods And Results: Using the National Cardiovascular Data Registry's ICD Registry linked with Medicare claims, we identified 8951 patients with atrial fibrillation who were eligible for CRT-D and underwent first-time device implantation for primary prevention between April 2006 and December 2009. We used Cox proportional hazards models and inverse probability-weighted estimates to compare outcomes with CRT-D versus ICD alone.

Isolation and characterisation of an anticryptococcal protein in human cerebrospinal fluid.

An earlier study reported that human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has fungistatic activity for Cryptococcus neoformans. The present study reports that molecular sieve fractionation of concentrated CSF yielded three protein peaks, one of which (p2) had anticryptococcal activity. On a DEAE-Sephacel anion-exchange column the active molecular sieve peak (p2) gave two peaks that contained anticryptococcal activity.
