COVID-19

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a leading cause of hospitalisation in developed nations, responsible for 67,000 admissions a year in the UK alone, an incidence which is set to increase with an ageing population.1 The prognosis remains poor: in-hospital mortality ranges from 4–11 % and in those patients surviving to discharge 50 % will be re-admitted and one-third will die within 12 months.2–6 These… View more

Red Cell Volume Distribution Width as Another Biomarker
Author(s): Artemio García-Escobar , Juan Manuel Grande Ingelmo Added: 3 years ago
To the Editor, We congratulate Nadar and Shaikh for their excellent review of the use of biomarkers in heart failure (HF), as well as the new biomarkers currently under investigation.1 Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the heterogeneity of distribution of red blood cell size. A high RDW implies a large variation in red blood cell (RBC) size (anisocytosis) and a low RDW… View more

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome with more than 15 million diagnosed cases worldwide.1,2 Characterised by structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection fraction (EF)3, HF is frequently accompanied by multiple comorbidities. Brain disorders, including stroke, mental disturbances and cognitive impairment are distinct from the comorbidities traditionally… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Ali Valika , Maria Rosa Costanzo Added: 3 years ago
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in heart failure (HF) patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Abnormal sleep patterns are often characterised by cycles of significant pauses in breathing and partial neurological arousals that lead to maladaptive neurohormonal activation. SDB is broadly classified into two types: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep… View more

A Review of Plant-based Diets to Prevent and Treat Heart Failure
Author(s): Conor P Kerley Added: 3 years ago
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality. Nutritional factors are major contributors to HF precursors, including hypertension, obesity, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance/diabetes and systemic inflammation. Multiple landmark trials, including Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)1 and Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED),2 have documented the… View more
