Postoperative outcomes following rehabilitation in patients with left ventricular assist devices
Postoperative rehabilitation is a cornerstone of the recovery pathway following left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD), and patients are expected to conduct an autonomous life thanks to improved technology and increased knowledge of ...

Cardiac resynchronization in chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that cardiac resynchronization achieved through atrial-synchronized biventricular pacing produces clinical benefits in patients with heart failure who have an intraventricular conduction delay.

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 ...

Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, resulting in reduced organ perfusion. The goals of treatment in patients with HF are to improve functional capacity and quality of life, and to reduce mortality.

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for adults with heart failure.
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (HF) is a growing global health challenge. People with HF experience substantial burden that includes low exercise tolerance, poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL), increased risk of mortality and hospital admission,

Levosimendan protects against ischemia – reperfusion injury in the human heart muscle. A pilot study
The consequences of myocardial infarction (MI) are an increasing problem worldwide. Despite spectacular progress in the invasive treatment of ischemic heart disease, the ability to limit the ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains largely unrealized ...

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Peptide-enhanced mRNA transfection in cultured mouse cardiac fibroblasts and direct reprogramming towards cardiomyocyte-like cells. [PDF]
The treatment of myocardial infarction is a major challenge in medicine due to the inability of heart tissue to regenerate. Direct reprogramming of endogenous cardiac fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes via the delivery of transcription factor ...
