Abstract

Third International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine for Latin America plays a critical role in the inflammatory response and, potentially, a polymorphism in IRAK1 may alter the immune response impacting clinical outcome. P2 Gene expression and intracellular NF-κ κB activation after HMGB1 and LPS stimuli in neutrophils from septic patients

Correlation between BNP and D-dimer levels in Heart Failure: A short report

“…Abbreviations: BNP: B-type Natriuretic Peptide; HF: Heart Failure; APE: Acute Pulmonary Embolism; AF: Atrial Fibrillation. result in the development of thrombi-embolic events and increased D-dimer levels, however; its usefulness as a long-term prognostic marker in HF patients is yet unclear [5] and D-dimer remains the most useful clinically in excluding the diagnosis of acute thromboembolic states. D-dimer levels are frequently elevated in hypercoagulable states such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, malignancy, pregnancy, and many other clinical situations and should be used to rule out deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in patients with low pretest probability for such events excluding its diagnostic accuracy for heart failure [6].…”
