The clinical goals of risk stratification of sudden death are to identify subjects who are at high risk of, and eventually to reduce the incidence of, sudden death. Numerous studies have described risk stratification techniques for serious cardiac events in patients following myocardial infarction...

This study addresses the safety, feasibility, and interpretability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in excluding significant coronary artery disease in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis undergoing pre-renal transplant cardiac risk evaluation...

This study addresses the safety, feasibility, and interpretability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in excluding significant coronary artery disease in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis undergoing pre-renal transplant cardiac risk evaluation.

Methods: Twenty nine patients (55.5 ± 10.2 years) undergoing cardiac risk assessment prior to renal transplantation, underwent research CCTA with calcium scoring and formed the study group...

At present there is consent that patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and hemodynamic instability have poor prognosis and benefit from thrombolytic therapy or embolectomy, whereas hemodynamically stable patients without echocardiographic signs of right ventricular overload/dysfunction (RVO) have good prognosis and should be treated with anticoagulation alone....

Heart failure (HF) patients can benefit from a proper RS. We had observed that they show an increase in the number of arrhythmias during the first year of pharmacological treatment...

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an increasingly widespread, costly and deadly disease, frequently named as epidemics of the 21 century. Despite advancement in modern treatment, mortality rate in CHF patients remains high. Therefore, risk stratification in patients with CHF remains one of the major challenges of contemporary cardiology...

Zastosowanie systemów informatycznych może służyć jako narzędzie do diagnostyki epidemiologicznej internautów oraz jako wspomaganie pracy lekarzy i kadry zarządzającej służbą zdrowia. W ramach niniejszej pracy jest tworzony i wdrażany system służący do detekcji i wyliczenia ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego, rozkładu i nasilenia występowania czynników ryzyka w poszczególnych województwach oraz graficznej prezentacji na mapie kraju..

Acute heart failure (HF) is an emerging problem in clinical practice, associated with high in-hospital mortalityand a high short-term readmission rate...
