“…Therefore, this study sought to determine the frequency of AF among patients with ADHF in Pakistan. Our results indicate that the prevalence of AF among patients with ADHF was 38.1%, which is supported by data from Turkey, where 39% of patients with ADHF had a history of AF [ 5 ]. However, 25.4% of the subjects had AF in Cameroon [ 6 ].…”

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common concern in patients with heart disease, especially those with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the frequency of AF and associated risk factors among patients with ADHF at a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study of hospitalized patients with ADHF treated in a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, from June 5 to October 30, 2021. The study's primary outcome was the proportion of patients with ADHF who had AF, and our secondary outcome was examining the risk factors for AF. The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan provided ethical approval of the study design. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). We applied the chi-square test to compare the proportion of AF concerning risk factors (i.e., comorbidities). Results One hundred ninety-four patients with ADHF were included in the study; 54.6% were male and 45.4% female. Most (56.7%) were older than 60, and 38.1% were aged 40-60. The prevalence of AF was 38.1%. Diabetes, hypertension, previous stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were the most common comorbidities. All patients with ADHF with AF also had MI and hypertension. Patients of known coronary artery disease (CAD) but without MI, previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were less associated with AF than other comorbidities. Conclusions We conducted this study to determine the incidence of AF among patients with ADHF. AF occurs in a significant amount of patients with ADHF, and the risk factors associated with AF in these patients include hypertension, history of MI, diabetes, and COPD. Healthcare professionals should screen patients with ADHF for AF, especially those with common risk factors.

“…The first step is to use the ultrasound probe to scan different positions; the second step is to select the standard section; the third step is to measure and diagnose the determined standard section. After using it, it is found that it has certain limitations, which will be targeted at the section of a specific moment in the cardiac cycle, resulting in poor performance of the final model [ 28 , 29 ].…”

Objective. The role of deep learning-based echocardiography in the diagnosis and evaluation of the effects of routine anti-heart-failure Western medicines was investigated in elderly patients with acute left heart failure (ALHF). Methods. A total of 80 elderly patients with ALHF admitted to Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital from August 2017 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided randomly into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. Then, a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) algorithm model was established, and image preprocessing was carried out. The binarized threshold segmentation was used for denoising, and the image was for illumination processing to balance the overall brightness of the image and increase the usable data of the model, so as to reduce the interference of subsequent feature extraction. Finally, the detailed module of deep convolutional layer network algorithm was realized. Besides, the patients from the control group were given routine echocardiography, and the observation group underwent echocardiography based on deep learning algorithm. Moreover, the hospitalization status of patients from the two groups was observed and recorded, including mortality rate, rehospitalization rate, average length of hospitalization, and hospitalization expenses. The diagnostic accuracy of the two examination methods was compared, and the electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiographic parameters as well as patients’ quality of life were recorded in both groups at the basic state and 5 months after drug treatment. Results. After comparison, the rehospitalization rate and mortality rate of the observation group were lower than the rates of the control group, but the diagnostic accuracy was higher than that of the control group. However, the difference between the two groups of patients was not statistically marked ( P > 0.05 ). The length and expenses of hospitalization of the observation group were both less than those of the control group. The specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of the examination methods in the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically marked ( P < 0.05 ). There was a statistically great difference between the interventricular delay (IVD) of the echocardiographic parameters of patients from the two groups at the basic state and the left ventricular electromechanical delay (LVEMD) parameter values after 5 months of treatment ( P < 0.05 ), but there was no significant difference in the other parameters. After treatment, the quality of life of patients from the two groups was improved, while the observation group was more marked than the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Echocardiography based on deep learning algorithm had high diagnostic accuracy and could reduce the possibility of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure, so as to decrease the mortality rate and diagnosis and treatment costs. Moreover, it had an obvious diagnostic effect, which was conducive to the timely detection and treatment of clinical diseases.

Background Introduction of simple bedside tools for assessing patients’ condition in different settings improves triaging. However, these indices are less frequently used in heart failure. This study aims to evaluate the utility of shock index, age shock index, modified shock index, and age-modified shock index in the prediction of in-hospital mortality in acute decompensated heart failure individuals. Methods We conducted this retrospective study on 3652 acute decompensated heart failure individuals in the context of Persian Registry of Cardiovascular Disease/heart failure. Shock index, age shock index, modified shock index, and age-modified shock index were assessed during admission. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to define the optimum cut-off point. Odds ratio models were used for investigating the association of in-hospital mortality according to each specified cut-off value. Results Mean age was 70.12 ± 12.56 years (males: 62.6%). Optimum cut-off point for shock index, age shock index, modified shock index, and age-modified shock index were set to be 0.71 (sensitivity: 63%, specificity: 60%), 50.5 (sensitivity: 65%, specificity: 60%), 0.94 (sensitivity: 60%, specificity: 60%), and 66.7 (sensitivity: 62%, specificity: 60%), respectively. Participants with higher shock index derivatives in all domains had significantly higher likelihood of death. Compared to those with shock index, age shock index, modified shock index, and age-modified shock index values of less than cut-off points, adjusted model revealed patients with higher values had 2.59 (95% CI: 1.94-3.46, P < .001), 2.61 (95% CI: 1.95-3.48, P < .001), 2.14 (95% CI: 1.61-2.84, P < .001), and 2.28 (95% CI: 1.72-3.03, P < .001) times increase in-hospital death risk, respectively. Conclusions Shock index, age shock index, modified shock index, and age-modified shock index are simple bedside tools to reliably predict in-hospital mortality in acute decompensated heart failure patients to better prioritize high-risk subjects.
