Are both initial red cell distribution width ( RDW ) and change in RDW during heart failure hospitalization associated with length of hospital stay and 30-day outcomes?
Greater initial RDW and ΔRDW during HF hospitalization were associated with 30-day mortality, longer LOS, and 30-day all-cause readmission, suggesting both ΔRDW and initial RDW may aid in personalizing prognosis and treatment.
Hypoxia induces elevation of SOCE in distal PVSMCs, leading to enhancement of basal [Ca2+]i in PVSMCs. This enhancement is potentially correlated with the increased expression of TRPC6. Hypoxia triggered intracellular calcium contributes to promoted proliferation and migration of PVSMCs.
