Predicting outcome in severe heart failure. Who will benefit from device therapy (CRT)?
Dyssynchronous ventricular contraction in severe heart failure contributes to low cardiac output, worsening symptoms, and poor prognosis. Recognition of the effect of dyssynchrony in heart failure, and the possibility of manipulating the sequence of electrical cardiac activation to improve the efficiency of mechanical events, led Cazeau et al. to attempt four-chamber pacing in 1994. This early ...
متن کاملStable COPD: predicting benefit from high-dose inhaled corticosteroid treatment.
The role of inhaled corticosteroids in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether sputum eosinophilia (defined as eosinophils > or = 3%) predicts clinical benefit from inhaled corticosteroid treatment in patients with smoking-related clinically stable moderate-to-severe COPD. Forty consecutive patients ...

HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...

For exercise electrocardiography ECG), optimal interpretation does not involve simply hether ST segment depression is present. Recent literature as examined factors such as post-exercise heart rate recovry (1) and the percent of heart rate reserve achieved (2) as ro...
متن کاملPredicting which species will benefit from corridors in fragmented landscapes from population growth models.
Connecting isolated patches of habitat in fragmented landscapes with corridors is a popular conservation strategy. This strategy is also controversial in large part because of uncertainty about what characteristics of a species and its environment promote corridor use. In this article we address the question, For what types of species will populations benefit from corridors? We asked this quest...
