Socio‐economic status and the effect of guideline‐directed medical therapy in the STRONG‐HF study
Abstract Aims Acute heart failure (AHF) impacts millions globally, with outcomes varying based on socio‐economic status (SES). Methods SES measured by annual household income, years of education and medical insurance coverage. Each patient's income and education level relative to the median or mean, respectively, in the country was calculated, and ...

Inter‐atrial block as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with HFpEF
Abstract Aims Inter‐atrial block (IAB), a marker of electrical atrial dysfunction, is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and adverse events in various populations. The prognostic impact of IAB in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) was observed in almost half of patients with insertable cardiac monitor and symptomatic heart failure (HF). One‐fourth of the patients had new onset AF and a higher rate of HF events compared with patients without AF. AF incidence was similar in HF patients with preserved versus reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Abstract Aims Differences in guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) and clinical outcomes have been observed between heart failure (HF) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) versus those in sinus rhythm. This study evaluated the effects of up‐titration of HF therapies, consisting of beta‐blockers, angiotensin‐converting‐enzyme inhibitors (ACEis ...
