1. Nitrates and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Abstract : Use of beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is established practice in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Clinical studies also suggest beneficial long-term effects of nitrates in CHF. READ MORE

2. Early Risk Stratification, Treatment and Outcome in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction
Abstract : We evaluated, in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with thrombolytics, admission Troponin T (tnT), ST-segment resolution and admission N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for early risk stratification as well as time delays and outcome in real life patients according to prehospital or in-hospital thrombolytic treatment. Also, baseline characteristics, treatments and outcome in patients enrolled in the ASSENT-2 trial in Sweden and in patients not enrolled were evaluated. READ MORE

4. Fluid Management in Haemodialysis : Studies on current practices and new methods
Abstract : Chronic fluid overload has been identified as an independent predictor of mortality in haemodialysis patients, and 30% remain fluid overloaded at dry weight. The use of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in fluid management may improve blood pressure control and cardiovascular status. READ MORE

5. Peptide and non-peptide biomarkers of mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
Abstract : Over the last decade, multiple studies have attempted to identify better risk prediction tools specific to the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. In many cases, these studies have evaluated the use of various peptide biomarkers as prediction tools. READ MORE
