Excerpt

Autonomic nervous system exerts a strong influence on arrhythmogenesis.1,2 Focus in the recent years has changed from affirming this concept, to translating it, into clinically useful information. Risk stratification of patients beyond left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been the focus of most studies.3-6 They have almost exclusively studied the sympathetic innervation of the ventricular myocardium, which is easier to evaluate, with currently available radionuclide tracers than parasympathetic innervation. The principle question these studies have tried to address is: Does sympathetic denervation as assessed by nuclear imaging help in better risk stratification of heart failure (HF) patients by identifying those at increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA)? …

Bei Herzinsuffizienz muss „Eisenmangel“ neu definiert werden!

16.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Bei chronischer Herzinsuffizienz macht es einem internationalen Expertenteam zufolge wenig Sinn, die Diagnose „Eisenmangel“ am Serumferritin festzumachen. Das Team schlägt vor, sich lieber an die Transferrinsättigung zu halten.

Herzinfarkt mit 85 – trotzdem noch intensive Lipidsenkung?

16.05.2024 Hypercholesterinämie Nachrichten

Profitieren nach einem akuten Myokardinfarkt auch Betroffene über 80 Jahre noch von einer intensiven Lipidsenkung zur Sekundärprävention? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wurden jetzt Registerdaten aus Frankreich ausgewertet.

ADHS-Medikation erhöht das kardiovaskuläre Risiko

16.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Erwachsene, die Medikamente gegen das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom einnehmen, laufen offenbar erhöhte Gefahr, an Herzschwäche zu erkranken oder einen Schlaganfall zu erleiden. Es scheint eine Dosis-Wirkungs-Beziehung zu bestehen.

LDL-Cholesterin kann ApoB als Risikomarker nicht ersetzen

16.05.2024 Hypercholesterinämie Nachrichten

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) ist ein genauer Risikomarker für atherosklerotisch bedingte Erkrankungen. Aber das LDL-Cholesterin doch auch – lohnt sich also die ApoB-Messung überhaupt?
