How to develop a national heart failure clinics network: a consensus document of the Hellenic Heart Failure Association

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2020
Heart failure (HF) is rapidly growing, conferring considerable mortality, morbidity, and costs. Dedicated HF clinics improve patient outcomes, and the development of a national HF clinics network aims at addressing this need at national level.

Monitoring of biomarkers in heart failure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The role of biomarkers is increasingly recognized in heart failure (HF) management, for diagnosis, prognostication, and screening of high-risk patients.

Defining heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2001
The definition of heart failure is hampered by the wide variability of the clinical symptoms and signs, and of their etiologies. Many attempts have been made to come up with a general set of criteria that describe heart failure [1–7]. These criteria include clinical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, and exercise-related criteria and criteria ...

Long-term LVEF trajectories in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure: diabetic cardiomyopathy may underlie functional decline

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2020
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectories and functional recovery with current heart failure (HF) management is increasingly recognized. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) leads to a worse prognosis in HF patients.

Circulating virome and inflammatory proteome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and primary ventricular fibrillation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Primary ventricular fibrillation (PVF) is a life-threatening complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is unclear what roles viral infection and/or systemic inflammation may play as underlying triggers of PVF, as a second hit

Quality of life in patients with heart failure and improved ejection fraction: one‐year changes and prognosis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2022
Aims The criteria for patients with heart failure (HF) and improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) are a baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%, a ≥10‐point increase from baseline LVEF, and a second LVEF measurement >40%.

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Therapy, 1996
Congestive heart failure (CHF) affects more than 2 million Americans and requires greater than 900,000 hospitalizations each year. The incidence of CHF is increasing because of the increasing age of the American population and the use of newer medications and technologies that have increased survival at the expense of increased morbidity.

Heart failure update [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 1999
AbstractThe RUSSLAN study, which randomised 504 patients with post‐infarction heart failure in whom intravenous inotropic support might be deemed appropriate, was presented for the first time in a hotline session at the annual meeting of the Working Group on Heart Failure of the European Society of Cardiology.
