Carvedilol increases two-year survivalin dialysis patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: A prospective, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effects of carvedilol on mortality and morbidity in dialysis patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and found that carvedilolinol reduced morbidity and mortality in patients with congestive heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease: From Pathogenesis to Therapeutic Target

TL;DR: The epidemiological observation that biomarkers of inflammation are associated with clinical cardiovascular risk supports the theory that targeted anti-inflammatory treatment appears to be a promising strategy in reducing residual cardiovascular risk on the background of traditional medical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial myocardial deformation properties predict maintenance of sinus rhythm after external cardioversion of recent-onset lone atrial fibrillation: a color Doppler myocardial imaging and transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic study.

TL;DR: Patients with higher atrial strain and strain rate appear to have a greater likelihood of staying in sinus rhythm, if the current data are verified in future studies, and additional pharmacological therapy and maintenance of anticoagulants for a longer period may need to be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy and precision of echocardiography versus right heart catheterization for the assessment of pulmonary hypertension

TL;DR: Doppler echocardiography allows for accurate measurements of the pulmonary circulation, but with moderate precision, which explains why the procedure is valid for population studies but cannot be used for the individual diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
