Prognostic impact of preoperative liver function on outcomes in patients undergoing Impella implantation
Impella® (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) is widely used as mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock, yet accu...
Natriuretic peptides are integral in reclassifying heart failure stage and risk
Natriuretic peptides are integral in reclassifying heart failure stage and risk
We investigated the usefulness of B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) in reclassifying in...
The long-term dialysis due to diabetic nephropathy may be associated with in-hospital death in patients with acute myocardial infarction
The long-term dialysis due to diabetic nephropathy may be associated with in-hospital death in patients with acute myocardial infarction
The clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in dialysis patients are poor, and the outcomes may be worse in...
