Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF) but its impact on prognosis in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear. We assessed whether ID defined by soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) criteria is independently associated with all-cause mortality in patients with HFpEF, and evaluated its comparative prognostic performance to ID definitions in common clinical use.

Methods And Results: Data were analyzed from 788 patients (36% HFpEF) in a prospective multicenter HF cohort study. Baseline plasma samples were analyzed with respect to 4 definitions of ID: sTfR of ≥1.59 mg/L (ID), sTfR of ≥1.76 mg/L (ID), ferritin of <100 µg/L, or ferritin of 100-300 µg/L + transferrin saturation of <20% (ID), and transferrin saturation of <20% (ID). In multivariable Cox models ID (hazard ratio [HR] 1.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-2.75) and ID (HR, 1.69, 95% CI 1.10-2.59) were both independently associated with all-cause mortality in patients with HFpEF, whereas ID (HR 1.41, 95% CI 0.92-2.16) and ID (HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.77-1.85) were not. On inclusion of patients with HF with reduced EF, ID (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13-1.86) gained significance, but ID (HR 1.21, 95% CI 0.95-1.54) did not. For each pair of definitions intra-patient concordance was approximately 65%.

Conclusion: ID defined by sTfR criteria is independently associated with all-cause mortality in patients with HFpEF. Poor concordance between ID definitions suggests that iron biomarkers do not reflect the same pathological process in the complex relationship between iron and HF. Therefore, which definition should guide iron replacement needs further evaluation.

Heart failure (HF) occurs predominantly in older adults. HF patients have an increased risk for an acute exacerbation, which commonly requires hospitalisation. Such a worsening HF (WHF) event has an impact on prognosis. Read More

Objective: Although kidney transplant (KTx) recipients are at significant risk for cardiovascular disease, outcomes following cardiac operations have been examined in limited series. The present study thus aimed to assess the impact of KTx on in-hospital perioperative outcomes and readmissions in a nationally representative cohort.

Methods: All adults undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair/replacement or a combination thereof were identified from the 2010-2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Read More

Improving patient and clinician safety during COVID-19 through rapidly adaptive simulation and a randomised controlled trial: a study protocol.

Introduction: COVID-19 required healthcare systems to iteratively adapt for safe and up-to-date care as knowledge of the disease rapidly evolved. Rates of COVID-19 infections continue to fluctuate and patients without COVID-19 increasingly return to the emergency department (ED) for care. This leads to new challenges and threats to patient and clinician safety as suspected patients with COVID-19 need to be quickly detected and isolated among other patients with non-COVID-19-related illnesses.

J Clin Neurol 2022 May;18(3):323-333

Department of Data Science, Hanmi Pharm. Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea.

Background And Purpose: Migraine is reportedly associated with several cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs), but some of these diseases have not received sufficient attention. We thus attempted to determine the associations of migraine with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), ischemic stroke (IS), and hemorrhagic stroke (HS).

Methods: The study population was recruited by applying International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes to the database of the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2002 to 2018. Read More
