Management of advanced heart failure: a review
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2018Heart failure (HF) has become a global pandemic. Despite recent developments in both medical and device treatments, HF incidences continues to increase. The current definition of HF restricts itself to stages at which clinical symptoms are apparent.

Frailty in Advanced Heart Failure
Heart Failure Clinics, 2016Frailty is defined as a biological syndrome reflecting impaired physiologic reserve and heightened vulnerability to stressors. The evolving profile of heart failure (HF), increased survival of aging patients with complex comorbidities in parallel with the growing population undergoing mechanical circulatory support as lifetime therapy, means that ...

Advanced Therapies for Advanced Heart Failure in Women
Heart Failure Clinics, 2019Women with advanced heart failure (HF) are underrepresented in trials of short-term and durable mechanical circulatory support although they derive similar benefit. In acute HF, intensive medical and interventional therapies are effective but underutilized.

Heart Failure: Advanced Refractory Heart Failure.
FP essentials, 2021End-stage heart failure (HF) is associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Progressive and/or persistent HF signs and symptoms in the setting of optimal therapy is the hallmark of more advanced disease. Physicians must be able to recognize patients with features of refractory HF to aid in timely evaluation for advanced therapy options.

Recent advances in the diagnosis of heart failure
Current Cardiology Reports, 2004Heart failure has reached epidemic proportions and the prevalence is increasing. The accurate and efficient diagnosis of heart failure remains problematic, as signs and symptoms are neither sensitive nor specific. Recent advances in the diagnosis of this condition include a conceptual change in what constitutes heart failure, a greater understanding of

Heart failure: advances through genomics
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2011Heart failure is an increasingly prevalent and highly lethal disease that is most often caused by underlying pathologies, such as myocardial infarction or hypertension, but it can also be the result of a single gene mutation. Comprehensive genetic and genomic approaches are starting to disentangle the diverse molecular underpinnings of both forms of ...
