Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) often experience dyspnea, and monitoring and quantifying their breathing patterns can provide reference information for disease and prognosis assessment. In this study, 39 AHF patients and 24 healthy subjects were included. Nighttime chest-abdominal respiratory signals were collected using wearable devices, and the differences in nocturnal breathing patterns between the two groups were quantitatively analyzed. Compared with the healthy group, the AHF group showed a higher mean breathing rate (BR_mean) [(21.03 ± 3.84) beat/min vs. (15.95 ± 3.08) beat/min, P < 0.001], and larger R_RSBI_cv [70.96% (54.34%–104.28)% vs. 58.48% (45.34%–65.95)%, P = 0.005], greater AB_ratio_cv [(22.52 ± 7.14)% vs. (17.10 ± 6.83)%, P = 0.004], and smaller SampEn (0.67 ± 0.37 vs. 1.01 ± 0.29, P < 0.001). Additionally, the mean inspiratory time (TI_mean) and expiration time (TE_mean) were shorter, TI_cv and TE_cv were greater. Furthermore, the LBI_cv was greater, while SD1 and SD2 on the Poincare plot were larger in the AHF group, all of which showed statistically significant differences. Logistic regression calibration revealed that the TI_mean reduction was a risk factor for AHF. The BR_ mean demonstrated the strongest ability to distinguish between the two groups, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.846. Parameters such as breathing period, amplitude, coordination, and nonlinear parameters effectively quantify abnormal breathing patterns in AHF patients. Specifically, the reduction in TI_mean serves as a risk factor for AHF, while the BR_mean distinguishes between the two groups. These findings have the potential to provide new information for the assessment of AHF patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on Chinese patients with congestive heart failure by meta analysis. Methods Both foreign language databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2009) and Chinese databases involving CBM, VIP and CJFD were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported the effect of rhBNP on the heart function (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the recent level of improvement in cardiac function) and its side effects of Chinese patients with congestive heart failure. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each trial and extracted data independently. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.8 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Nineteen RCTs were included, all of which came from internal. The methodological quality of the included studies was good. The baseline data of each trial were comparable. The results of meta-analyses showed: (1) the improvement of LVEF was higher in the rhBNP group than that in the blank control group (WMD=7.22, 95%CI 3.15 to 11.291, P=0.000 5). The level of improvement in cardiac function was better in the rhBNP group than those in the blank control group (OR=5.48, 95%CI 1.61 to 18.65, P=0.007), the nitroglycerin group (OR=3.60, 95%CI 2.02 to 6.41, Plt;0.000 1), and the sodium nitroprusside group (OR=3.21, 95%CI 0.12 to 85.20, P=0.49). The incidence of side effects was lower in the rhBNP group than that in the nitroglycerin group (OR=0.23, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.47, Plt;0.000 1), and the sodium nitroprusside group (OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.82, P=0.02). Moreover, the results of sensitivity analysis were also consistent with the above findings. Conclusion Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide can effectively improve the hemodynamics and cardiac function level of Chinese population of patients with heart failure. The treatment doses are safe and tolerant, so it is recommended to clinical use.
Abstract: The ventricle assist device has emerged as an important therapeutic option in the treatment of both acute and chronic heart failure. The blood pumps which are the major components of ventricle assist devices have also progressed to the third generation. The magnetic and/or liquid levitation technologies have been applied into the third generation blood pumps. The impellers which drive blood are levitated in the blood pumps. The third generation blood pumps are mainly composed of the levitation system and the driving system. The development of the third generation blood pumps has three stages: the stage of foreign motor indirectly driving the impeller with the levitation and driving system separated, the stage of motor directly driving the impeller with the levitation and driving system separated, and the stage of levitation system integrated with the driving system. As the impellers do not contact with other structures, the third generation blood pumps possess the advantages of low thrombosis, less hemolysis and high energy efficiency ratio. Currently most of the third generation blood pumps are in the research stage, but a few number of them are used in clinical trials or applying stage. In this article, the history, classification, mechanism and research situation of the third generation blood pumps are reviewed.
ObjectiveTo summarize the individualized selection of surgical treatment strategies and the key points of perioperative management for patients with heart valve disease complicated with severe chronic heart failure.MethodsThe clinical characteristics of 5 male patients with valvular heart disease complicated with severe chronic heart failure (CHF) were analyzed retrospectively from June 2017 to October 2018 in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, with an average age of 60.21 years.ResultsFive patients were given angiotensin receptor and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI)-based anti-heart failure treatment after admission. The operation mode of these patients was decided to be valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass after individualized evaluation of patients’ improving symptoms. Three patients were treated with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) early after operation to assist patients in improving cardiac function. Five patients recovered oral anti-heart failure after awakening. All patients were discharged smoothly 2 weeks after operation.ConclusionIndividualized evaluation is needed for the choice of operation timing and mode, standardized preoperative treatment for heart failure, shortening the aortic blocking time during cardiopulmonary bypass, and early application of left ventricular adjuvant drugs or instruments are all important measures to help patients recover smoothly.
Objective The purpose of the current research was to analyze the relevant risk factors for short-term death in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF), and to build a predictive nomogram. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 1 323 COPD and HF comorbidity patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2018 to January 2022. Samples were divided into survival and death groups based on whether they died during the follow-up. General data and tested index of both groups were analyzed, and the discrepant index was analyzed by single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis. R software was applied to create the nomogram by visualizing the results of the regression analysis. The accuracy of the results was verified by C index, calibration curve, and ROC curve. Results The results from the multiple factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR=1.085, 95%CI 1.048 to 1.125), duration of smoking (OR=1.247, 95%CI 1.114 to 1.400), duration of COPD (OR=1.078, 95%CI 1.042 to 1.116), comorbidity with respiratory failure (OR=5.564, 95%CI 3.372 to 9.329), level of NT-proBNP (OR=1.000, 95%CI 1.000 to 1.000), level of PCT (OR=1.153, 95%CI 1.083 to 1.237), and level of D-dimer (OR=1.205, 95%CI 1.099 to 1.336) were risk factors for short-term death of COPD and HF comorbidity patients. The level of ALB (OR=0.892, 95%CI 0.843 to 0.942) was a protective factor that was used to build the predictive nomogram with the C index of 0.874, the square under the working characteristics curve of the samples of 0.874, the specify of 82.5%, and the sensitivity of 75.0%. The calibration curve indicated good predictive ability of the model. Conclusion The nomogram diagram built by the current research indicated good predictability of short-term death in COPD and HF comorbidity patients.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) -2 inhibitors is a new type of oral sugar-lowering drug. Instead of relying on insulin, it lowers blood sugar by inhibiting the reabsorption of near-curvy tube glucose, which is drained from the urine. SGLT-2 inhibitors not only have a sugar-lowering effect, but also benefit significantly in cardiovascular disease, and this drug has the advantages of permeable diuretic, reducing capacity load, and improving ventricular remodeling. SGLT-2 inhibitors can improve the diastolic function of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. SGLT-2 inhibitors can benefit patients with HFpEF. Therefore, this article will discuss the progress of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HFpEF.
