Limited availability of cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure patients in the United Kingdom: findings from a national survey [PDF]
Background: Participation of patients with heart failure in cardiac rehabilitation in the UK is low. This study investigated the availability of cardiac rehabilitation services for patients with heart failure in the UK and the views of service ...

Effects of Cardiac Structural Remodelling During Heart Failure on Cardiac Excitation – Insights from a Heterogeneous 3D Model of the Rabbit Atria [PDF]
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. One of the effects of heart failure is the structural remodelling of cardiac tissue, including tissue dilation and development of fibrosis.

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization reduces symptoms and improves left ventricular function in many patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony.

Cardiac Failure and Benzodiazepines [PDF]
Nine patients with stable cardiac failure and mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% were investigated. All had previously been prescribed a benzodiazepine hypnotic by their home physicians, but the medication had been discontinued for at least 1 month.

Cardiac cellular diversity and functionality in cardiac repair by single-cell transcriptomics
Cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI) is orchestrated by multiple intrinsic mechanisms in the heart. Identifying cardiac cell heterogeneity and its effect on processes that mediate the ischemic myocardium repair may be key to developing novel ...
