The data are important to inform management and prevention strategies. OBJECTIVE To describe the pattern of congestive heart failure in a Kenyan paediatric population.

متن کاملPopulation pharmacokinetics and dose simulation of carvedilol in paediatric patients with congestive heart failure.
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT * Applying in silico tools such as population pharmacokinetic analysis and simulation will help to find adequate dosing strategies and increase the probability of success for a randomized controlled trial. * Up to now, for carvedilol in paediatric patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) the dose has been linearly extrapolated from adults, but the re...
متن کاملA New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal
The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...
