Heart Failure Represents Considerable Global Health Concern
From 1990, increase in absolute numbers of heart failure prevalent cases and years lived with disability
Heart Failure
Leveraging Metabolomics for More Accurate Heart Failure Diagnosis
A newly developed prognostic metabolite score was found to be useful in distinguishing heart failure with midrange vs preserved or reduced ejection fraction.
ECG Predictors of Future Heart Failure
Electrocardiographic sign of left ventricular hypertrophy was found to predict HF among women.
Physical Activity May Lower Risk for Heart Failure in Several High-Risk Subgroups
Greater physical activity may be associated with reduced risk for heart failure in several high-risk subgroups.
Salt Taste Sensitivity After Hospitalization for HF May Predict Outcomes
Increased salt taste sensitivity in the 12 weeks following hospitalization for heart failure was associated with fewer days of rehospitalization.
Pediatric ADHF Characterized by Comorbidities, High Mortality Rates
Acute decompensated heart failure in children is characterized by high burdens of comorbidities, mortality, and frequent readmission, especially among patients with underlying congenital heart disease.
Rural Doctors Can Be Trained to Treat Advanced Heart Failure
Patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) who live remotely can be successfully managed with specialized training and cooperation between local physicians and specialty medical centers.
Frailty Predicts Adverse Outcomes After Mitral Valve Replacement
For patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR), frailty is an independent predictor of morbidity, death, and increased hospitalization costs.
Author to Fight Retraction of Study Linking Vaping to Heart Attack Risk
A journal’s retraction of a study linking electronic cigarettes with an increased risk for heart attack is being challenged by the author.
Can a Biomarker Predict Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Heart Failure Patients?
