Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the inferior vena cava (IVC) can help to noninvasively predict the effectiveness of treatment for volume-sensitive conditions, such as acute heart failure and shock. Recently POCUS-IVC has also been used to iteratively tailor fluid treatment to patient-specific targets. In real-world clinical settings, such iterative assessments are necessarily obtained by multiple […]

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) exacerbations are a leading cause of hospitalization in the United States. Despite the frequency of AHF hospitalizations, there are inadequate data or practice guidelines on how quickly diuresis should be achieved. Methods: We conducted a pooled cohort study using data from three acute heart failure trials (DOSE, ROSE, and ATHENA-HF). […]

Background: Sepsis is a common and life-threatening complication of infection that disproportionately affects patients with chronic comorbidities. Timely fluid resuscitation is a key initial management strategy for reducing sepsis mortality; however, patients with serious comorbidities are often excluded from clinical trials. The Surviving Sepsis guidelines suggest that patients meeting severe sepsis criteria should be administered […]

Background: Consultation in hospital is an important tool for acquiring subspecialty support when managing patients with acute congestive heart failure (CHF). The effect of consult utilization on hospital outcomes and resource utilization of acute CHF is unknown. Methods: Discharge data was obtained for patients discharged with a principal diagnosis of acute CHF over 3 […]

Background: The characteristic profiles of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) individuals with heart failure are scarce in the literature. This investigation analyzes the demographics of LGBTQ individuals with heart failure and appropriateness of medical therapy. Methods: A multi-center retrospective analysis of LGBTQ individuals with a diagnosis of heart failure was conducted […]

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) is the major cause of hospital admission and death. Furthermore, patients admitted with AHF have high readmission rates and postdischarge mortality. Although there have been some reports, which demonstrated the predictive factors of death among patients of acute heart failure in the USA and Europe, there has been no studies […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Congestive heart failure (CHF) and pneumonia are amongst the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States. Although a growing number of hospitals use both teaching and nonteaching hospitalist services for patient care, the differences in clinical outcomes and efficiency between these two services is not clearly known. The aim of this study […]

Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of CAC detected by chest CT scan (CT) in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients (pts) in the absence of coronary artery disease history (CAD Hx). Methods: In this retrospective cohort, we queried […]
