More than half of the patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have associated sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which consists of either obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) or central sleep apnoea (CSA).1,2 SDB has deleterious effects on systolic and diastolic ventricular function. In patients with CHF, the presence of SDB results in a poorer prognosis;3,4 thus, its early recognition and adequate… View more

Despite advances in therapy, heart failure (HF) continues to be a leading cause of hospitalisation in those over 65.1 Around 2 % of people in Europe live with HF and as many as 10 % of those over 75 years are affected.2 Prognosis continues to be poor, with approximately half of patients dying within 5 years of first hospitalisation,3 a more severe prognosis than many malignancies.4 Sleep… View more

Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemiological challenge in the US and worldwide. In the US, it is estimated that at least 5 million people are affected by it, with more than a half-million new diagnosis being made each year.1 Despite major improvements in the treatment of HF, almost 30 % of patients treated for acute HF require readmission within 30 days.2,3 These sobering statistics underscore… View more

Abstract Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common finding in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). SDB can cause negative effects on the cardiovascular system and can contribute to the worsening of the underlying disease. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a major independent risk factor for the manifestation and progression of cardiovascular diseases, whereas central sleep apnoea (CSA)… View more

Cardiac Troponins in Kidney Disease
Author(s): Debasish Banerjee , Charlotte Perrett , Anita Banerjee Added: 3 years ago
The development of increasingly sensitive and specific serum cardiac biomarkers has led a revolution in the diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, although the troponins now in use are considered highly sensitive cardiac biomarkers in the general population, the interpretation of troponins in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and… View more
