Clinical profile and outcomes in patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis with or without concomitant chronic kidney disease.
Management of aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may often be overlooked, and this could confer poorer outcomes. ⋯ Concomitant CKD in patients with moderate to severe AS was associated with increased mortality, more frequent admissions for cardiac failure and a lower incidence of aortic valve replacement.

Factors associated with readmission after long-term administration of tolvaptan in patients with congestive heart failure.
We investigated the factors associated with readmission in patients with congestive heart failure (HF) receiving long-term administration of tolvaptan (TLV) to support treatment decisions for HF. ⋯ We revealed that eGFR was strongly associated with readmission in patients with HF who received long-term administration of TLV. Furthermore, we showed that eGFR is an important indicator in guiding treatment of HF in patients receiving TLV.
