Prognosis in heart failure: the value of parameter-changes over time.

Prognostic Value of Soluble ST2 (sST2) Serum Levels in Infants and Children with Heart Failure Complicating Congenital Heart Disease

Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...

  Background & Objective : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome and increases in rate by aging. Because changes in ECG and electrolytes are variable, specific and sometimes independent to the disease with different methods to be diagnosed, in this study we tried to find a way to diagnose them.   Materials & Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive-analytic study. Data was collected from dec...

Prognosis of emergency room stabilization of decompensated congestive heart failure with high dose lasix

Objective: Congestive heart failure (CHF) has become one of the most important health care problems in western countries. This article focuses on the outpatient diagnosis and management of heart failure. We want to compare the outcome of patients who were treated with high dose diuretics in the emergency department (ED) without admission with patients who were admitted to hospi...

A New Minimum Order Lumped-Parameter Model of Circulatory System for Patients with Suffered Left and Right-Sided Heart Failure

In this study a new minimum lumped electrical model of total circulatory system through numerical solutions to approximate the response of the human circulatory system was presented. Among five existent ventricular elastances as activity function of heart pumps, a more accurate model was chosen as well as the operation of baroreflex system to accommodate variations in heart rate and systemic va...
