To alter the natural history of congestive heart failure and change the poor prognosis for patients with this condition will require new insights into its pathogenesis as well as the development of strategies to alter the neurohumeral and serum electrolyte abnormalities associated with congestive heart failure, which are often exaggerated by current therapeutic approaches. Although improvement ...

Although thyrotoxicosis is not rare, congestive heart failure as the manifestation of thyrotoxicosis is relatively uncommon. Coexistence of congestive heart failure and chylothorax is even rarer in hyperthyroid patients. A 37-year-old male patient had been well until 3 years ago when tachycardia and body weight loss developed and a diagnosis of Graves’ disease was made. Due to an improvement in...

OBJECTIVE To compare the incidence of congestive heart failure and the survival in patients with congestive heart failure in Rochester, Minn, in 1981 with that observed in 1991. METHODS Population-based, descriptive epidemiological study with ecological and individual level comparisons over time. Olmsted County, Minnesota, where the Rochester Epidemiology Project provides passive surveillance...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the results of troponin I (cTnI) in non- acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We also examined the risk factors for elevated cTnI in non-ACS patients with CKD and whether stage 5 CKD modifies the associations of elevated cTnI and the risk factors in non-ACS patients with CKD. METHODS A retrospective study was p...
