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

Mining Themes in Clinical Notes to Identify Phenotypes and to Predict Length of Stay in Patients admitted with Heart Failure [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Heart failure is a syndrome which occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood and oxygen to support other organs in the body. Identifying the underlying themes in the diagnostic codes and procedure reports of patients admitted for heart failure could reveal the clinical phenotypes associated with heart failure and to group patients based on their ...

Design and Rationale of the Cognitive Intervention to Improve Memory in Heart Failure Patients Study [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Memory loss is an independent predictor of mortality among heart failure patients. Twenty-three percent to 50% of heart failure patients have comorbid memory loss, but few interventions are available to treat the memory loss.

Long-term adherence to polytherapy in heart failure patients: a novel approach emphasising the importance of secondary prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Heart failure (HF) is a severe and costly clinical syndrome associated with increased healthcare costs and a high burden of mortality and morbidity. Although drug therapy is the mainstay of treatment for heart failure, non-adherence to prescribed therapies is common and is associated with worse health outcomes and increased hospitalizations.

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

Long-range dependencies in heart rate signals- revisited [PDF]
, 2005 The RR series extracted from human electrocardiogram signal (ECG) is considered as a fractal stochastic process. The manifestation of long-range dependencies is the presence of power laws in scale dependent process characteristics. Exponents of these laws: $\beta$ - describing power spectrum decay, $\alpha$ - responsible for decay of detrended ...

Advanced chronic heart failure: A position statement from the Study Group on Advanced Heart Failure of the Heart Failure Association of the European Societyof Cardiology [PDF]
, 2007 Therapy has improved the survival of heart failure (HF) patients. However, many patients progress to advanced chronic HF (ACHF). We propose a practical clinical definition and describe the characteristics of this condition.

Exercise intolerance and fatigue in chronic heart failure: is there a role for group III/IV afferent feedback? [PDF]
, 2020 Exercise intolerance and early fatiguability are hallmark symptoms of chronic heart failure. While the malfunction of the heart is certainly the leading cause of chronic heart failure, the patho-physiological mechanisms of exercise intolerance in these ...
