Methods: In a prospective cross-sectional study, 91 patients with systolic heart failure were admitted to Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas in 2008.Thyroid function test w...
متن کاملQRS duration: a simple marker for predicting cardiac mortality in ICD patients with heart failure.
BACKGROUND Patients resuscitated from ventricular tachyarrhythmias benefit from implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) as opposed to medical treatment. Patients with increased QRS duration receiving an ICD in the presence of heart failure are at greatest risk of cardiac death and benefit most from ICD therapy.

متن کاملFactors influencing the predictive power of models for predicting mortality and/or heart failure hospitalization in patients with heart failure.
The present paper systematically reviews and compares existing prediction models in order to establish the strongest variables, models, and model characteristics in patients with heart failure predicting outcome. To improve decision making accurately predicting mortality and heart-failure hospitalization in patients with heart failure can be important for selecting patients with a poorer progno...
