HBD is a biochemical rather than electrophoretic assessment of the LD isoenzyme which is associated with heart. All five isoenzymes of LD exhibit some activity toward cx-hydroxy-butyrate as substrate, but heart LD shows the greatest activity. Serum HBD measurement is not as valuable as the electrophoretic determination of heart LD isoenzyme. High HBD activity has also been found in diseases of the liver. Rises associated with the hepatic effects of congestive heart failure can be disconcerting in the differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Wilkinson has used the serum HBD/LD ratio for the differentiation of myocardial disease from other disorders in which HBD activity is elevated, whereas Rosalki has not found the ratio to be helpful (39). [Pg.196]

Total estimated direct and indirect costs for managing both chronic and acute HF in the United States for 2005 was approximately 27.9 billion. Medications account for approximately 10% of that cost.3 Heart failure is the most common hospital discharge diagnosis for Medicare patients and is the most costly diagnosis in this population. [Pg.34]

To reduce mortality, administration of an aldosterone antagonist, either eplerenone or spironolactone, should be considered within the first 2 weeks following MI in all patients who are already receiving an ACE inhibitor (or ARB) and have an EF of equal to or less than 40% and either heart failure symptoms or diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.3 Aldosterone plays an important role in heart failure and in MI because it promotes vascular and myocardial fibrosis, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, sodium retention, potassium and magnesium loss, and arrhythmias. Aldosterone antagonists have been shown in experimental and human studies to attenuate these adverse effects.70 Spironolactone decreases all-cause mortality in patients with stable, severe heart failure.71... [Pg.102]

Suggested Alternatives for Differential Diagnosis Acute respiratory distress syndrome, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, AIDS, pneumonia, cardiogenic shock, septic shock, phosgene toxicity, phosphine toxicity, salicylate toxicity with pulmonary edema, influenza, plague, tularemia, and anthrax. [Pg.547]

Either eplerenone or spironolactone should be considered within the first 2 weeks after MI to reduce mortality in all patients already receiving an ACE inhibitor who have LVEF <40% and either heart failure symptoms or a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The drugs are continued indefinitely. Example oral doses include the following ... [Pg.71]

Despite the advances in pharmacological therapy, cardiovascular surgery and cardiology, more than half of the patients with clinically evident heart failure die within 5 years of the initial diagnosis. The myocardial injury is usually irreversible because healing pathways are only expressed for a short time (Penn et al., 2004). [Pg.106]

Atrial fibrillation is commonly associated with heart failure, and the prevalence of atrial fibrillation is related to the severity of heart failure, with less than 5% affected with very mild heart failure to nearly 50% affected with advanced heart failure [66]. Heart failure and atrial fibrillation are both common cardiovascular disorders and share the same demographic risk factors, including age, history of hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, and valvular heart disease [67, 68]. Further, the incidence of heart failure increases dramatically after the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation [69]. Progression of LV dysfunction can clearly be associated with rapid ventricular rates [70-76]. Conversely, conversion to normal sinus rhythm or control of ventricular response in atrial fibrillation can improve LV function [71-74, 77]. Accordingly, rate control becomes very important in patients with heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, and likely even more so when ischemia from rapid rates complicate the patient s course. [Pg.53]

Greater efforts must be employed to increase the awareness of heart failure in the public eye, specifically the financial burden that it entails as well as the significant morbidity and mortality associated with the diagnosis. Optimization of accepted treatments must be explored on larger scales in patients with ischemic disease and made more widely and... [Pg.132]
