Left atrial pressure and significant tricuspid regurgitation in persistent atrial fibrillation by Yuewu Lin, Maolin Ye, Yan Qiu, Dawei Lin, Sezhang Ke

“…Elevated LAP was strongly associated with right heart remodeling and significant TR in patients with persistent AF. Regression analysis identified LASP, mitral regurgitation, and AF duration as independent predictors of significant TR (all p < 0.01).ConclusionsEarly identification of LAP elevation and right heart remodeling may guide targeted interventions to prevent TR progression and improve patient outcomes. …”

The Informative Value of N-Terminal Pro-type B Natriuretic Peptide in Cardiac Surgical Patients with Hypercreatininemia by M. G. Burzhunova, O. G. Guseva, V. Yu. Rybakov, L. A. Krichevsky, I. A. Kozlov

“…The intensity of sympatomimetic therapy after ECC was equal in the identified patient groups and there were either no differences (p>0.05) in the frequency of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (18.2 and 10.0%), the length of mechanical ventilation (15±1.5 and 18.7±2.3 hours) and intensive care unit stay (1.8±0.5 and 2.0±0.7 days) in survivors, and inpatient mortality (23.7 and 20.0%) that proved to be substantially higher than the EuroSCORE-predicted one. Regression analysis showed that in the entire group of operated patients, the level of NT-proBNP turned out to be a more significant predictor of inpatient mortality (p=0.012) than EuroSCORE-predicted one (p = 0.04). …”
