Does echocardiographic left ventricular systolic dysfunction early after resuscitation from cardiac arrest predict mortality or vasopressor requirements?
Echocardiographic parameters (including LVEF) were not associated with inpatient mortality after cardiac arrest. Vasopressor requirements and organ failure severity were not associated with multiple echocardiographic markers of systolic function.
Postprandial platelet activation via the thromboxane pathway is related to postprandial hyperinsulinemia and not to postprandial hyperglycaemia in patients with diabetes.
