Duration of heart failure and the risk of atrial fibrillation: different mechanisms at different times? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Chronic heart failure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), with the prevalence of AF paralleling the severity of heart failure.1 Factors that underlie this increased susceptibility to AF may include electrical, structural, and neurohumoral ...

Chronic heart failure and micronutrients

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2001
Heart failure (HF) is associated with weight loss, and cachexia is a well-recognized complication. Patients have an increased risk of osteoporosis and lose muscle bulk early in the course of the disease. Basal metabolic rate is increased in HF, but general malnutrition may play a part in the development of cachexia, particularly in an elderly ...

Inhibiting Receptor of Advanced Glycation End Products Attenuates Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction by Preventing Excessive Autophagy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is involved in heart failure (HF) by mediating diverse pathologic processes, including the promotion of inflammation and autophagy.

Impact of an interatrial shunt device on survival and heart failure hospitalization in patients with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Aims: Impaired left ventricular diastolic function leading to elevated left atrial pressures, particularly during exertion, is a key driver of symptoms and outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Insertion of an interatrial

Pharmacotherapy for chronic heart failure

open access: yesNigerian Journal of Medicine, 2007
Heart failure is a chronic and progressive disorder which results due to inability of the heart to pump adequate blood to meet up the metabolic demands of the body. Detecting patients with heart failure could be simple but rather complex of clinical decisions as presentation could be classical or non-specific with minimal symptoms and orsigns ...

‘Hearts and minds’: association, causation and implication of cognitive impairment in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The clinical syndrome of heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalisation and mortality in older adults. An association between cognitive impairment and heart failure is well described but our understanding of the relationship between the ...
