Epidemiology and pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome that affects approximately 6.5 million adults in the United States. About half of the 6.5 million adults with HF are estimated to be individuals with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is a

Neuregulin-1β, Biomarkers of Inflammation and Myocardial Fibrosis in Heart Failure Patients
Neuregulin-1β (NRG-1) is an emerging biomarker of heart failure (HF). The mechanisms of its action in HF patients are yet to be investigated. Cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of NRG-1 have been reported.Aim.

Prevalence of prediabetes and undiagnosed diabetes in patients with HFpEF and HFrEF and associated clinical outcomes [PDF]
Purpose: The prevalence and consequences of prediabetic dysglycemia and undiagnosed diabetes is unknown in patients with heart failure (HF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and has not been compared to heart failure and reduced ejection ...
