... carbohydrate 125 (CA125) has emerged as a proxy of fluid overload and inflammation in acute heart failure (AHF). We aimed to evaluate the influence of dapagliflozin on CA125 levels within the first weeks after discharge and whether CA125 changes were related to 6-month adverse clinical outcomes. Methods...

... of worsening kidney function (WKF) within the first 72 h of admission in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods: The study prospectively enrolled 125 patients admitted with AHF. NephroCheck ® test was obtained within the first 24 h of admission. DE was defined as net fluid urine output...

... with chronic heart failure and is a risk factor for disease progression. However, its clinical meaning in acute heart failure remains elusive. This study analyzed the trajectory of urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) between admission and discharge and its association with decongestion. Methods...

The effect of sodium-glucose...

... that basal alterations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are related to short- and mid-term higher mortality in acute heart failure (AHF), there is scarce information on the influence of an altered eGFR on long-term mortality and readmissions. Therefore, this multicenter study sought...
