Shock Index in Patients Presenting With Acute Heart Failure: A Multicenter Multinational Observational Study
(2019-06)
Abstract:
Shock index (SI) has a prognostic role in coronary heart disease; however, data on acute heart failure (AHF) are lacking. We evaluated the predictive values of SI in patients with AHF. Data were retrospectively ...
Systolic Blood Pressure on Admissionand Mortality in Patients HospitalizedWith Acute Heart Failure: ObservationsFrom the Gulf Acute Heart Failure Registry
(2017)
Abstract: We investigated the role of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in relation to in-hospital and postdischarge mortality in patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF). The SBP of 4848 patients aged 18 years admitted ...

Saliva as an Alternative Specimen for Molecular COVID-19 Testing in Community Settings and Population-Based Screening
(2020)
Purpose:
With the easing of restriction measures, repeated community-based sampling for tracking new COVID-19 infections is anticipated for the next 6 to 12 months. A non-invasive, self-collected specimen like saliva ...
Risk factors associated with premature myocardial infarction: a systematic review protocol
(2019)
Introduction:
Premature myocardial infarction (MI) generally refers to MI in men ≤55 years or women ≤65 years. Premature MI is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claimed 17.6 million lives globally ...

(2021)
Importance:
Risk profiles for premature coronary heart disease (CHD) are unclear.
Objective:
To examine baseline risk profiles for incident CHD in women by age at onset.
Design, Setting, And Participants:
A ...
Association of QRS narrowing with response to cardiac resynchronization therapy-a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
(2019-08-07)
Abstract:
Prolonged QRS duration, which reflects a higher degree of mechanical dysynchrony, is a predictor of response to CRT. However,the association of QRS narrowing after biventricular pacing with CRT response rates ...
The "obesity paradox" in patients with atrial fibrillation: Insights from the Gulf SAFE registry
(2022-11)
Abstract:
Background: The prognostic impact of obesity on patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains under-evaluated and controversial.
Methods:
Patients with AF from the Gulf Survey of Atrial Fibrillation Events ...
Symptom Status, Clinical Subtypes, and Prognosis in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation from the Middle East Region (from the Gulf-SAFE Registry)
(2021)
Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often asymptomatic. The prognosis of asymptomatic AF is at least similar or worse than symptomatic AF, but there are no such data from Middle East patients with AF. The Gulf-SAFE (Gulf ...
