The journal CHEST® features the best in peer-reviewed, cutting-edge original research in the multidisciplinary specialties of chest medicine—pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine—and related disciplines. With a loyal readership base, the journal is one of the most highly regarded, and up-to-date sources of clinical knowledge in the field.
CRITICAL CARE
Left ventricular (LV) systolic function may affect outcomes in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Authors in the journal CHEST® studied whether there was an association between LV systolic function and increased mortality among patients with sepsis and septic shock.
CHEST INFECTIONS
Researchers aimed to determine if guideline-concordance of the initial antibiotic treatment given to elderly patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia is associated with the 1-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk of those patients who survive hospitalization for this infection.
Each month, the journal CHEST Editor in Chief Peter Mazzone, MD, MPH, FCCP, adds context and commentary to important articles featured in the new issue.
