Abstract
Background Systemic coagulation activation and thrombotic complications are frequent among critically ill patients with COVID-19. Limited data are available in non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Purpose To determine the incidence, risk factors and prognosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in non-ICU COVID-19 patients. Methods We studied consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted to general ward at Strasbourg Hospital, France (25.02.2020–19.04.2020). The primary outcome was any VTE complication. The secondary outcome was the composite of death or transfer to ICU. Results Among the 289 patients included (62.2 ± 17.0 years, 59.2% male), VTE occurred in 49 (17.0%). Padua prediction score for VTE was similar between VTE and non-VTE patients. VTE imaging tests were performed in 100 (34.6%) patients and VTE diagnosed in median 7 (3–11) days after admission. On-admission, time from symptom onset to admission (OR 1.07, CI 95% [1.00–1.16], P = 0.045), Improve score (OR 1.37, [1.02–1.83], P = 0.032), leukocyte count (OR 1.16, [1.06–1.27], P = 0.001) and lack of thromboprophylaxis (OR 27.85, CI 95% [9.35–82.95], P < 0.001) were independent predictors of VTE. The incidence of the composite of death or ICU transfer was 31.0% and more frequent among patients with VTE (47.9% vs. 27.9%, P = 0.01). Fever (OR 5.37, CI 95% [1.44–19.97], P = 0.012), VTE (OR 3.44, CI 95% [1.63–7.25], P = 0.001), lymphopenia (OR 0.32, 95% CI [0.15–0.71]; P = 0.005) and extent of COVID-19 evaluated by chest CT severity (OR 1.56, 95% CI [1.12–2.16]; P = 0.007) were independently associated with in-hospital death or transfer to ICU (Table 1, Fig. 1). Conclusions The 17.0% incidence of VTE in non-ICU patients with COVID-19 was associated with worse outcomes. Given the high incidence of VTE in ward patients, there is an urgent need to investigate the optimal anticoagulation regimen.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Current recommendations support short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) despite no relevant study exploring the extent of platelet inhibition by clopidogrel.
Purpose
To assess whether P2Y12 inhibition by clopidogrel as evaluated by vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein flow cytometry test (VASP-FCT) impacts 1-year clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR.
Methods
Patients were included in a prospective registry between February 2010 and May 2019. VASP-FCT was assessed 24h after the procedure. Responder to clopidogrel was defined by a platelet reactivity index ≤50%.
Results
Of 640 patients who underwent TAVR with preprocedural clopidogrel therapy, we enrolled 491 patients for whom VASP data were available. Responders were identified in 22% (n=110) of patients and low responders were 78% (n=381) of patients. Low body mass index, active cancer, and clopidogrel on admission were found to be independent predictors of responder. Mean transaortic pressure gradient was lower in the responder group at 1-month post-TAVR (9.9±4.4 mmHg vs. 11.2±5.8 mmHg, p=0.03) but was similar at 1-year (11.5±6.2 mmHg vs. 11.9±7.4 mmHg, p=0.74). By multivariate Cox regression analysis, patients responding to clopidogrel (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04 to 3.64; p=0.04), prior PCI (HR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.07 to 4.37; p=0.03), and mean transaortic pressure gradient at baseline (HR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.70; p=0.02) were identified as independent predictors of 1-year adverse clinical outcomes, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization.
Conclusions
Appropriate P2Y12 inhibition by clopidogrel is a major determinant of adverse clinical events after TAVR. In sum, the present data challenges the need of DAPT as a standard therapy during TAVR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent insights have emphasized the importance of myocardial and systemic inflammation in Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS).
Objective
In a large registry of unselected patients, we sought to evaluate whether residual high inflammatory response (RHIR) could impact cardiovascular outcome after TTS.
Methods
Patients with TTS were retrospectively included between 2008 and 2018 in three general hospitals. 385 patients with TTS were split into three subgroups, according to tertiles of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at discharge (CRP<5.2 mg/l, CRP range 5.2 to 19 mg/l, and CRP>19 mg/L). The primary endpoint was the impact of RHIR, defined as CRP>19 mg/L at discharge, on cardiac death or hospitalization for heart failure.
Results
Follow-up was obtained in 382 patients (99%) after a median of 747 days. RHIR patients were more likely to have a history of cancer or a physical trigger. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at admission and at discharge were comparable between groups. By contrast, RHIR was associated with lower LVEF at follow-up (61.7 vs. 60.7 vs. 57.9%; p=0.004) and increased cardiac late mortality (0% vs. 0% vs. 10%; p=0.001). By multivariate Cox regression analysis, RHIR was an independent predictor of cardiac death or hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio: 1.97; 95% confidence interval: 1.11 to 3.49; p=0.02).
Conclusions
RHIR was associated with impaired LVEF recovery and was evidenced as an independent factor of cardiovascular events. All together these findings underline RHIR patients as a high-risk subgroup, to target in future clinical trials with specific therapies to attenuate RHIR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown cardiovascular protection in type 2 diabetes patients with established cardiovascular disease independently of glycemic control. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and H2O2 have been shown to be strong inducers of the expression of SGLT2 and 1 in endothelial cells promoting oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction.
Purpose
This study examined the cardiovascular protective effect of empagliflozin (empa) in a normoglycemic experimental model of hypertension in the rat.
Methods
Male Wistar rats received empa (30 mg/kg/day) provided in the diet for 5 weeks. After 1 week, rats underwent sham surgery (sham rats) or surgery with implantation of an osmotic mini-pump infusing Ang II (0.4 mg/kg/d) for 4 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was assessed by sphygmomanometry, the cardiac function using echocardiography, the expression level of target proteins by immunofluorescence staining, and the level of oxidative stress using dihydroethidium staining.
Results
Angiotensin II administration increased systolic blood pressure from about 130 to 180 mmHg, which was not affected by the empa treatment. The 4-week Ang II treatment did not significantly affect the systolic cardiac function (cardiac output, left ventricle ejection fraction) but impaired the diastolic function as indicated by a reduced E' and IVRT values, and an increased E/E' value. The Ang II treatment increased significantly the heart and right ventricle weight whereas the left ventricle + septum weight was slightly but not significantly increased. No such functional and structural changes were observed in the Ang II + empa treatment group. An increased immunofluorescence eNOS signal in the endothelium, and a higher level of ROS throughout the aorta wall were observed in the Ang II-treated group, both of which were significantly reduced in the empa + Ang II-treated group. In the Ang II-treated group, the high level of oxidative stress in the aorta was significantly reduced by the AT1 receptor antagonist losartan, the NADPH oxidase inhibitor VAS-2871, the eNOS inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine and also to a greater extent by the selective SGLT2 inhibitor empa compared to the dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor sotagliflozin.
Conclusion(s)
The present findings indicate that although the empa treatment did not affect the hypertensive response of rats to Ang II, the SGLT2 inhibitor prevented the deleterious impact of Ang II on the diastolic cardiac function and remodeling, and the upregulation of eNOS expression and oxidative stress in the aorta wall. Thus, these findings highlight the protective potential of empa on the cardiovascular system in a normoglycemic hypertensive experimental model.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Several report showed the association between ambient air pollution including particular matter under 2.5um (PM2.5) and increasing rate of hospitalization for heart failure. However, these report analyzed mainly cross-sectional, epidemiological data, thus the reports regarding association between vulnerability to PM2.5 and specific populations in acute heart failure (AHF) were scarce.
Purpose
1. To analyze the association between air pollution and rate of hospitalization for AHF
2. To analyze whether the vulnerability to air pollution differ between specific populations in AHF. Methods
A case-cross over analysis was conducted to 4980 consecutive patients registered for multicenter acute heart failure registry in 2017 in our city Japan. This registry enrolled patients transferred to cardiovascular care unit (80 institutions) via emergency medical services across our city area. Logistic regression analysis were conducted to estimate percentage changes in the rate of acute heart failure hospitalization associated with per 1μg/m3 PM2.5 concentration increase. We also conducted subgroup analysis for patients stratified by age, gender, comorbidities, left ventricular ejection fraction, and clinical scenario.
Results
An increase in 1 μg/m3 PM2.5 concentration corresponded to 2.9% (95% CI 1.2–4.6%) increase in AHF hospitalization. Patients with age younger than 75, without prior heart failure hospitalization, without history of hypertension, without anemia, and with reduced ejection fraction were more susceptible to increase in PM2.5 concentration (Figure).
Conclusions
Increase in PM2.5 concentration was associated with increased rate of AHF hospitalization. Effect of PM2.5 may differ across specific AHF subpopulations.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Paravalvular leakage (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with greater mortality. In clinical practice, determining PVL severity after TAVR remains challenging and often requires multiparametric assessment.
Purpose
This study sought to evaluate the respective value of various modalities of PVL assessments, including transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cine-angiography, aortic regurgitation index (ARI), and closure time with adenosine diphosphate (CT-ADP), in the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes.
Methods
We included 1044 patients from our prospective TAVR registry between February 2010 and May 2019. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization within 1-year. Established cutoff values of ARI (<25) and CT-ADP (>180 sec) were used to assess the presence of PVL after TAVR.
Results
Moderate to severe PVL occurred in 14.2% and 5.2% of patients as measured by TTE and angiography. The rate of patients with ARI <25 and CT-ADP >180 sec were 36.5% and 24.9%, respectively. Among the four modalities, PVL evaluated by angiography predicted poorer clinical outcomes (Log rank test; p=0.001), whereas TTE, ARI <25, and CT-ADP >180 sec were not associated with 1-year MACCE. By multivariate Cox regression analysis, moderate to severe PVL by angiography was an independent predictor of 1-year MACCE (hazard ratio: 1.96; 95% confidence interval: 1.22–3.00; p=0.007).
Conclusions
Paravalvular leakage measured by angiography was evidenced as the most meaningful modality in the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes. Future multicenter studies are warranted to ensure these findings in the current TAVR era.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although there is an apparent rapid and spontaneous recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, recent studies have demonstrated the long-lasting functional impairment in those patients.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the predictors of incomplete recovery in chronic phase and its impact on cardiovascular mortality after takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Methods
Patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively enrolled in three different institutions. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was diagnosed according to the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Association criteria. After exclusion of in-hospital deaths, 407 patients were split into 2 subgroups according whether their LVEF were >50% (recovery group; n=333), or ≤50% (incomplete recovery group; n=74) at follow-up. The primary endpoint was the impact of incomplete recovery on cardiovascular mortality.
Results
Patients with incomplete recovery were more likely to be male, to have dementia, pacemaker, and supraventricular arrhythmia. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on admission, at peak, and at discharge were significantly higher in patients with incomplete recovery. By multivariate logistic regression analysis, lower EF at discharge (odds ratio [OR]: 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88 to 0.95; p<0.001) and higher CRP levels (OR: 5.56; 95% CI: 1.86 to 16.61; p<0.001) were independent predictors of incomplete recovery at follow-up. The cumulative event-free survival rate according to cardiovascular death was significantly lower in the incomplete recovery group (p<0.001; log-rank test).
Conclusions
We demonstrate that incomplete recovery after takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by a residual systemic inflammation and an increased cardiac mortality at follow-up. Altogether, our findings underline patients with persistent inflammation as a high-risk subgroup, to target in future clinical trials with specific therapies to attenuate inflammation.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the relation between anterior disc displacement (ADD) and maxillomandibular morphology in skeletal anterior open bite with changes to the mandibular condyle. Thirty female patients (60 joints) with both conditions were evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was used to diagnose both ADD and changes to the mandibular condyle (erosion, osteophyte, and deformity). The relations among ADD, changes to the mandibular condyle, and maxillomandibular morphology were examined statistically. Changes to the mandibular condyle had a higher score than sym anterior open bite, the deviated side in asymmetric anterior open bite, and the non-deviated side. The score for disc displacement on the non-deviated side was lower than both the sym side and the deviated side. Unilateral changes to the mandibular condyle and unilateral disc displacement were not apparent in sym anterior open bite, but a unilateral non-displaced disc was seen only on the asymmetric side. Mandibular condylar changes were significantly more common on the deviated, than on the non-deviated, side. The SNB angle was significantly smaller, and the ANB, GZN, and SN-mandibular plane angles were significantly larger in sym anterior open bite. Overjet, ANB angle, GZN angle, and SN-MP angle were significantly larger, and the SNB angle was significantly smaller, in the presence of ADD without reduction and mandibular condylar deformity. We conclude that the prevalence of ADD without reduction and changes to the mandibular condyle were related to mandibular asymmetry and mandibular morphology in anterior open bite. This retrospective study suggests that ADD without reduction and mandibular condylar bone changes may be related to the progression of skeletal class II open bite and mandibular asymmetry in cases of skeletal open bite.

Abstract
Electron antineutrino appearance is measured by the T2K experiment in an accelerator-produced antineutrino beam, using additional neutrino beam operation to constrain parameters of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix. T2K observes 15 candidate electron antineutrino events with a background expectation of 9.3 events. Including information from the kinematic distribution of observed events, the hypothesis of no electron antineutrino appearance is disfavored with a significance of 2.40σ and no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions is found. A complementary analysis that introduces an additional free parameter which allows non-PMNS values of electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance also finds no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) occurs in some patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and can be accompanied by various complications.
Objective
The aim of the this study is to evaluate the characteristics of cardiac dysfunction and the prognostic impact of PAA by analysing the outcome of patients with PAH complicated by PAA.
Methods
We performed echocardiography and right-heart catheterization in 130 PAH patients. We measured the maximum dimensions of the main pulmonary artery (MPA) trunk. We evaluated the right ventricular (RV) function and the five-year prognosis of patients with PAA.
Results
The maximum MPA trunk diameter of >40 mm by echocardiography was defined as PAA. PAA appeared in 32 of the 130 PAH patients (24.6%: Group PAA), other 98 patients were defined as Group non-PAA. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure (76 ±18 vs. 61 ± 21 mmHg, P = 0.0008) and mean right atrial pressure (10.0 ± 8.1 vs. 5.4 ± 3.8 mmHg, P < 0.0001) were significantly higher in Group PAA than in Group non-PAA. RV end-diastolic area index was significantly larger (37.3 ± 8.8 vs. 32.3 ± 7.8 mmHg, P = 0.0048), and RV fractional area change (32 ± 8 vs. 36 ± 9 %, P = 0.0176) and RV longitudinal strain amplitude (-16 ±5 vs. -20 ± 6, P = 0.0017) were significantly lower in Group PAA than those in Group non-PAA. During the five-year follow-up period, 20 patients (15%) died. The five-year mortality rate was significantly higher in Group PAA compared to Group non-PAA (30% vs. 10%, P = 0.007).
Conclusion
In PAH patients with PAA, RV dysfunction was more severe and the prognosis was poor. Assessment of PAA can be a useful index for the extraction of high-risk PAH patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The second generation drug-eluting stent (G2-DES) has been reported as superior to the first generation drug-eluting stent (G1-DES) in mid-term outcomes. However, the late-term outcomes between G1-DES and G2-DES in two-stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions are not well studied.
Purpose
To evaluate the late catch-up phenomenon and late-term target lesion revascularization (TLR) of two-stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions between G1-DES and G2-DES.
Methods
This study included 1133 lesions in 1089 patients undergoing drug eluting stent implantation with two stenting from 2004 to 2016. These consisted of 496 G1-DES implanted lesions and 637 G2-DES implanted lesions. Late-term follow-up angiography was performed without in-stent restenosis (ISR) and TLR at mid-term follow-up in 582 lesions (242 G1-DES lesions and 340 G2-DES lesions). ISR was defined as more than 50% restenosis. Late catch-up phenomenon was defined as ISR without ISR within 1 year following index stent implantation. Late-term TLR was defined as from 1 to 5 year TLR. Bifurcation lesions were defined as the main branch ranging from the proximal stem to the distal main branch with boundaries defined by 5 mm proximal and distal to the stent-implanted area, and the side branch ranging from the bifurcation carina to the distal side branch with boundaries defined by the carina and 5 mm distal to the stent-implanted area.
Results
The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years (the first and third quarters, 3.2 and 7.1 years). The late-catch up phenomenon rate significantly differed between the G1-DES and G2-DES groups (16.9% vs 8.4%, p=0.001). A significant difference in late catch-up between the same two groups was also observed in bifurcation lesions of the main branch (5.0% vs 0.6%, p=0.001) and side branch (10.3% vs 5.6%, p=0.033), respectively. The 5-year cumulative rates also differed between the two groups in TLR (8.2% vs 3.7% log-rank p=0.001), and late-term TLR (7.0% vs 3.6% log-rank p=0.001).
Conclusion
Two-stenting using G2-DES, compared with G1-DES, significantly reduced late-term restenosis and TLR. The restenosis rate in bifurcation area may be associated with differences between two groups in late-term outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coupled abnormalities in arterial and left ventricular (LV) stiffness characterize aging and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We hypothesized that two measures of aortic stiffness, pulse wave velocity (PWV; reflecting segmental arterial wall stress in late systole) and total arterial compliance (TAC; reflecting distensibility of entire arterial system) differentially relate to cardiac structure and function in the elderly.
Methods
Among participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk In Community (ARIC) study, we assessed the cross-sectional relationship of carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV) and TAC with echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function using multivariable linear regression adjusting for demographics and co-morbidities. TAC defined as stroke volume over pulse pressure [mL/mmHg]. Exclusions were LVEF <50%, prevalent HF, ≥moderate valvular disease.
Results
Of the 4,141 participants included in this study, mean age was 75±5 years, 41% were male, and 80% were white. Mean values were: cfPWV: 11.7±3.4 m/sec; TAC: 1.1±0.3 mL/mmHg. Greater cfPWV was associated with greater LV mass, worse systolic function, and worse diastolic function (Table). In contrast, worse TAC was not related to LV structure and did not demonstrate consistent relationships with measures of LV diastolic function, but was associated with worse LV longitudinal strain.

Conclusion
Two non-invasive measures of aortic stiffness, cfPWV and TAC, demonstrate differential associations with LV structure and function in late life. Greater cfPWV is more robustly associated with LV structure and function than TAC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Electrocardiographic (ECG) strain pattern has recently been associated with increased adverse outcome in aortic stenosis (AS) and after surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, the relation linking ECG strain and cardiovascular MACE in patients with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been yet described.
Objectives
The aim of our study was to determine the impact and incremental value of ECG Strain pattern in predicting adverse outcome after TAVR.
Methods
585 patients with severe AS (mean age: 83±7 male 39.8%) were enrolled from November 2012 to May 2018. ECG strain pattern was defined as ≥1 mm concave down-sloping ST-segment depression and asymmetrical T-wave inversion in the lateral leads. Patients with baseline left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block (RBBB) or ventricular paced rhythm were excluded. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) before TAVR and at 30 days follow up. The primary endpoints of the study were the overall all-cause mortality after TAVR, rehospitalization for Hearth failure (HF), myocardial infarction and stroke.
Results
178 (30.4%) patients were excluded from analyses owing to the presence of either LBBB (n=103) or RBBB (n=75). Among the 407 remaining patients, 106 had ECG strain pattern (26.04%). Patients with ECG strain were significantly younger (81.6±8 years vs 83.5±6.8 years; p=0.022), had lower BMI (23±4.5 kg.m2 vs 27.9±6.8 kg.m2; p=0.02) more severe AS (mean gradient 52.3±15.2 mmHg vs 47.9±11.8 mmHg; p=0.003), significant lower LVEF (51.8±15% vs 58.4±10.7%; p<0.001). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was more frequent in patients with ECG Strain (indexed left ventricular mass (135.9±33.4 g.m2 vs 123.6±31.9 g.m2; p=0.002)). Death from any cause (22 (20.8%) vs 61 (20.3%); p=0.508) did not differ significantly between groups. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including death, stroke and heart failure at 1 month showed similar incidence (7 (6.6%) vs 17 (5.6%), p=0.439). Rehospitalization for hearth failure (HF) was significantly higher (33 (31.1%) vs 33 (11%); p<0.001) in patients with ECG strain pattern. In univariate model, ECG Strain was a strong predictor of rehospitalization for HF (HR 2.621 95% CI (1.607–4.277), p=0.001), independently of LVH assessed either by ECG criteria (HR 1.181 95% CI (0.698–1.997; p=0.536) or TTE (HR 1.557 95% (CI 0.701–3.458; p=0.277). ECG Strain remained associated with a higher risk of rehospitalization for hearth failure in multivariate analyses (HR 2.747 95% (CI 1.614- 4.674); p<0.001)
Conclusion
In patients with AS eligible for TAVR, ECG Strain Pattern is frequent and associated with an increased risk of post interventional heart failure regardless of preoperative LVH. ECG Strain pattern represents an easy, objective, reliable and low-cost tool to identify patients who may benefit from an extend and intensified post-interventional follow-up.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite recommendations from clinical practice guidelines, there is scant evidence confirming the effects of vasodilators on clinical outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Purpose
We sought to investigate the effects of intravenous vasodilators on clinical outcomes and to identify the potential patient populations that would benefit from its use.
Methods
Data of 26 212 consecutive patients urgently hospitalized for AHF between 2009 and 2015 were extracted from a multicenter data registration system (Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network Database, including 72 institutions within the Tokyo metropolitan area in Japan). Patients who did not present with typical AHF episodes, including those without pulmonary congestion on physical and/or chest X-ray and serum B-type natriuretic peptide level <500 pg/ml, as well as those who had hypotension and/or hypoperfusion (systolic blood pressure [SBP] <100 mmHg) as dominant presentation, were excluded. Propensity scores were calculated with multiple imputation and 1:1 matching performed between patients with and without vasodilators. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality and the secondary endpoints were length of intensive/cardiovascular care unit (ICU/CCU) stay and hospital stay.
Results
Overall, 8 863 patients were included in the present analysis; they were predominantly male (57%) with a median age of 79 (interquartile range: 70–86) years. Compared with the group without vasodilator use, the vasodilator group had higher SBPs and heart rates and higher frequency of assisted ventilation use, but lower frequency of intravenous diuretics use. After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality rates (7.8% vs. 8.9% in patients without vasodilators, p=0.16) or in length of ICU/CCU stay (5.8 days vs. 5.4 days, p=0.44) and hospital stay (22.7 days vs. 23.8 days, p=0.22) between the groups. However, in subgroup analyses, favorable impacts of vasodilator use on in-hospital mortality were observed among patients who had higher SBPs and among those who had no atrial fibrillation upon admission (Figure). In addition, vasodilators were likely to be more effective in AHF patients with SBP increasing; while levels below 140 mmHg of SBP appeared to be associated with an increased risk for mortality among patients treated with vasodilators compared with those without vasodilators.
Figure 1
Conclusions
In patients with AHF, vasodilator use was not universally associated with improved in-hospital outcomes; however, its effect was dependent of individual clinical presentation. Detailed phenotyping might aid tailoring of treatment strategies for patients with AHF.

Interaction between phenytoin and enteral nutrients and its influence on gastrointestinal absorption. DIE PHARMAZIE 2019; 74:559-562.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal absorption of phenytoin (PHT), an antiepileptic drug, is often affected by its interaction with co-administered enteral nutrients through a nasogastric (NG) tube, resulting in decreased plasma PHT concentration. In this study, we measured the recovery rate (%) of PHT (Aleviatin® powder) passed through an NG tube when co-administered with distilled water or enteral nutrients (F2α®, Racol® NF, Ensure Liquid® and Renalen® LP). We also measured plasma PHT levels in rats, after oral co-administration of PHT with enteral nutrients. We demonstrate that PHT recovery rate was close to 100 % in all cases after passage through the NG tube. In the rat study, the AUC0→∞ of PHT concentration after oral administration significantly decreased when it was co-administered with F2α® and Racol® NF compared to distilled water. However, the AUC0→∞ of PHT was unchanged when co-administered with F2α® 2 h after initial PHT administration. We therefore conclude that the co-administration of PHT with F2α® and Racol® NF caused a reduction in the absorption of PHT from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood, without adsorption to the NG tube. The administration of enteral nutrients 2 h after PHT is one clear way to prevent a decrease in plasma PHT concentration.
