Renal Biomarkers and Prognosis in HFpEF and HFrEF: The Role of Albuminuria and eGFR-A Systematic Review.

Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist and are closely interrelated, significantly affecting clinical outcomes. Among CKD-related markers, albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have emerged as key prognostic indicators in HF. However, their specific predictive value across different HF phenotypes-namely HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)-remains incompletely understood.

Multidisciplinary Insights into Perioperative Cardiac Events in Non-Cardiac Surgery: an ECG Holter Monitoring Study.

Background: Cardiovascular complications after non-cardiac surgery have a major impact on perioperative morbidity and mortality. Despite several scales and scores for assessing the preoperative cardiovascular status, an individualized assessment focused on each patient is mandatory.

Aim: To identify the new cardiac events that occur after non-cardiac surgery.

Cardiovascular Events and Preoperative Beta-Blocker Use in Non-Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Holter-Based Analysis.

: The perioperative use of beta-blockers remains controversial due to conflicting evidence of their risks and benefits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between chronic beta-blocker (bb) therapy and perioperative cardiac events in non-cardiac surgeries using 24 h continuous Holter monitoring. : A prospective observational study was conducted on patients undergoing elective or emergency non-cardiac surgery at a Romanian tertiary care hospital.

The SCN5A Gene Is a Predictor of Phenotype Severity in Brugada Syndrome: A Comprehensive Literature Review.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to ascertain whether patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) having SCN5A mutations have a more severe clinical phenotype and prognosis than do patients without SCN5A mutations.

Methods: A comprehensive Scopus database search was conducted; studies were selected by using Brugada syndrome and SCN5A as keywords for the main query.

Results: The available literature consistently shows greater electrophysiological abnormalities in patients with BrS having SCN5A-related etiology.
