Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "ESC Heart Failure"
DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13354
Abstract: Tachycardia is a reversible event that may cause hemodynamic decompensation but may not necessarily cause direct damages to the myocardium. To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10620-020-06763-9
Abstract: Background/Aim Patients with cirrhosis have poor outcomes once decompensation occurs; however, we lack adequate predictors of decompensation. To use a national claim database to compare the predictive accuracy of seven models for decompensation and hospitalization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12072-021-10280-w
Abstract: Background and aims Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) alone or its combination with platelet counts [Baveno-VI criteria (B6C)] is an important non-invasive tool to predict risk of clinical decompensation in patients with advanced compensated cirrhosis. We… read more here.

Abstract: Study Objective: To externally validate a risk-stratification tool—the Quick COVID-19 Severity Index (qCSI)—developed by Haimovich et al. to predict 24-hour respiratory decompensation in admitted patients with COVID-19. Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study… read more here.
