The increasing prevalence of heart failure requires the establishment of new imaging techniques that are able to diagnose early and guide treatment. With an estimated 825,000 new cases annually in the US, the heart failure burden will continue to rise and is expected to exceed 8 million by 2030.1

The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is still high1 and is rising in developing countries.2 Despite optimal medical therapy, refractory HF is a common occurrence and remains a “global disease requiring global response.”3 The emergence of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), has brought a new paradigm in the management of HF. CRT has been the most promising device therapy in mild-to-severe HF…

Heart failure (HF) is a major national and international pandemic with a prevalence of more than 5.8 million in the US and over 26 million worldwide. It is the leading cause of hospitalisation and healthcare costs in the US and it accounts for more than 1 million hospitalisations annually. In the US, up to 25% of patients hospitalised with HF are readmitted within 30 days.1 The financial burden…

Heart failure (HF) remains a major public health problem resulting in substantial morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditures globally. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2012 Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Heart Failure and the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF)/American Heart Association (AHA) 2013 Guideline for the Management of Heart…

Despite the burden of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF),1 its pathophysiological mechanisms remain controversial and are likely to be multifactorial.2,3,4 The lack of a comprehensive paradigm applicable to all patients suggests that haemodynamic derangements responsible for this disorder may be quite heterogeneous. As recently highlighted, haemodynamic features of HFpEF…

Heart failure (HF) affects more than 2% of the adult population worldwide; it is responsible for about 1 million hospitalisations per year in the US and it carries a high mortality risk.1 Recent population data indicate overall better survival rates, albeit with greater healthcare costs.1 Altogether, HF syndrome represents one of the biggest challenges to modern medicine, and places an enormous…

Heart failure (HF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and the burden of disease is rising.1 Despite improved survival – partly a result of advances in medical therapy, coronary interventions and ICD – the mortality rate remains high and relatively stagnant.2 Moreover, advanced HF is associated with impaired quality of life (QOL), which is reflected in the significant number…
