Telehealth is a multiform term embracing the applications of telematics to medicine, in order to enable diagnosis and/or treatment remotely through a set of communication tools, including phones, smartphones and mobile wireless devices, with or without a video connection.1
Until a few years ago, digital applications in medicine were restricted to the use of data obtained from electronic health…

Acute heart failure (AHF) presents symptoms primarily the result of pulmonary congestion due to elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures with or without reduced ejection fraction (EF). Common precipitating pathology includes coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension and valvular heart diseases, in addition to other noncardiac conditions, such as diabetes, anaemia and kidney dysfunction…

The first paper that referred to the problem of ‘frail elderly patients’ was published in 1953, and frailty syndrome (FS) was first described in the 1990s.1,2 Although it has long been recognised and diagnosed, no consensus definition of this clinical syndrome has been established. The Second International Working Meeting on Frailty and Aging in 2006 concluded that FS involves increased…

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common reasons for admission to hospital. It is associated with long in-patient stays, and has a high in-hospital and post-discharge morbidity and mortality, whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is reduced (HFREF) or normal (HeFNEF).1,2 Congestion, or fluid overload, is a classic clinical feature of patients presenting with HF. In some patients,…

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterised by the reduced ability of the heart to pump and/or fill with blood.1,2 From a physiological point of view, HF can be defined as an inadequate cardiac output to meet metabolic demands or adequate cardiac output secondary to compensatory neurohormonal activation (generally manifesting as increased left ventricular filling pressure).2…

Increasingly biomarkers are of interest in cardiovascular disease (CVD) for risk stratification. In particular, natriuretic peptides (NPs), which were originally used for the diagnosis of heart failure, are now finding a role in identifying those most at risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular (CV) disorders. Their ability to be measured rapidly through blood tests makes their widespread…
