Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure Patients
Author(s): Sriram D Rao , Srinath Adusumalli , Jeremy A Mazurek Added: 4 years ago
Heart failure (HF) remains one of the most common medical conditions worldwide, placing a continuously growing burden on healthcare providers. Within the HF population itself, the subset of patients who develop pulmonary hypertension (PH-LHD) has been identified as having a significantly higher morbidity and mortality.1 There are limited therapeutic options for PH-LHD and it often complicates the… View more

Heart Failure
Author(s): Sunil K Nadar , Osama Tariq Added: 3 years ago
The latest guidelines on the diagnosis and management of heart failure (HF) published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) introduced a new class of HF: HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF).1 This was in addition to the previously-defined classes: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), in which the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is below 40%, and HF with preserved… View more

We have great pleasure in introducing the latest issue of Cardiac Failure Review. We have been impressed with the extra information that has flooded in concerning the new classification of heart failure (including for the first time heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction [HFmrEF]) popularised by the influential 2016 European Society of Cardiology and Heart Failure Association Guidelines.1… View more

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

Hospitalisation is a critical event in the clinical course of heart failure (HF) and despite relatively rapid relief of symptoms, hospitalisation is followed by an increased risk of death and re-hospitalisation.1 While performance measures have been developed in the last few years with the intent of improving post-discharge outcomes, post-discharge mortality rates remain unchanged or have… View more

Effects of Exercise Training on Cardiac Function in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Author(s): Hidekatsu Fukuta Added: 3 years ago
Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) in the community have HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and mortality and morbidity in this group of patients is high.1–4 However, to date, there is no established pharmacotherapy to improve survival in HFpEF.5–9 Patients with HFpEF are often elderly and their primary chronic symptom is severe exercise intolerance, which results in a… View more

Congestion and Diuretic Resistance in Acute or Worsening Heart Failure
Author(s): Ingibjörg Kristjánsdóttir , Tonje Thorvaldsen , Lars H Lund Added: 3 years ago
From Acute Heart Failure Towards Worsening or De Novo Heart Failure The natural history of heart failure (HF) is characterised by disease progression and episodes of worsening HF and acute decompensation requiring outpatient treatment intensification, emergency department or in-hospital care. Acute HF (AHF), also known as acute decompensated HF, is defined as a progressive and sometimes rapid… View more
