Association of hyponatraemia and renal function in type 1 cardiorenal syndrome.
Hyponatraemia predicts type 1 cardiorenal syndrome in acute decompensated heart failure patients, which associates with poor outcome. Recovery from hyponatraemia has been found to associate with better outcome in acute decompensated heart failure patients, but its prognostic value regarding renal function remains unknown. ⋯ Recovery from hyponatraemia associates with a lower risk of persistent worsening renal function, suggesting that hyponatraemia correction may improve renal outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure patients with type 1 cardiorenal syndrome.

Prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis and reclassification of cardiovascular risk in Spanish population by coronary computed tomography angiography: EVA study.
A more complete assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) can be performed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The aim was to assess the prevalence, distribution and characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the reclassification of cardiovascular risk by CCTA in an asymptomatic Spanish population. ⋯ The prevalence of CAD in asymptomatic Spanish population was 40%, with greater proportion among males. The incorporation of CACS and SIS in the assessment of cardiovascular risk allows reclassifying subjects who are at low or moderate risk and thus identify those with high cardiovascular risk and also the other way.
