Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive disorder characterised by elevated cardiac filling pressures, reduced cardiac output and decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues.1 Activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), along with activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), plays a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of CHF syndrome.2–5 Early in the course of heart…

The US Public Health Service defines cardiac rehabilitation services as “comprehensive, long term programs involving medical evaluation, prescribed exercise, cardiac risk factor modification, education and counselling. These programs are designed to limit the physiological and psychological effect of cardiac illness, reduce the risk of sudden death or re-infarction, control cardiac symptoms,…

Chronic heart failure (HF), a complex and heterogeneous clinical syndrome, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and represents a major challenge to health care systems. The prevalence of HF and the number of hospitalisations is rising, even more in the ageing population.1 The direct costs of HF management reached 1–2 % of total health care expenditure and approximately two…

In this video interview from ESC's 2021 Heart Failure Congress, Dr Julio Nunez Villota (University of Valencia, Valencia, ES) discusses the findings of the Preserve-HR trial. This was a randomised single-center study that aimed to find the effect of beta-blocker withdrawal in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence.
Questions:
1. Could you briefly remind us of the trial's main aims,…

Exercise intolerance is a typical symptom of heart failure (HF), impairing patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living and affecting quality of life (QOL).1 Chronic HF is characterised by a progressive reduction in exercise capacity, increasing fatigue and shortness of breath.2 In addition, exercise intolerance is often accompanied by increased blood pressure and chronotropic…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) with or without systolic dysfunction are common cardiac conditions that frequently coexist and share multiple risk factors. HF is a risk factor for AF and AF is a risk factor for HF. Recent studies have focused on the prognostic nature of AF and HF with systolic dysfunction and the questionable use of digoxin and beta-blocker therapy when these…
