Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. In addition to muscle disease, there nearly always is an associated cardiomyopathy in Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. In these muscular dystrophies, the...

The pathophysiologic interactions that link the heart and kidney are multiple and complex, and have been grouped under the umbrella term "cardiorenal syndrome." In the setting of acute decompensated heart failure, worsening renal function h...

Observation units (OUs) for acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS) have proven to be effective in reducing heart failure admissions and may reduce costs. Goals for risk-stratifying patients with AHFS in OUs include determining patients suitab...
Acute heart failure with low cardiac output: can we develop a short-term inotropic agent that does not increase adverse events? [0.03%]

Acute heart failure represents an increasingly common cause of hospitalization, and may require the use of inotropic drugs in patients with low cardiac output and evidence of organ hypoperfusion. However, currently available therapies may h...
