Quality of life in heart failure. The heart of the matter. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association and the European Association of Preventive Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
For most patients with chronic, progressive illnesses, maintaining good quality of life (QoL), with preserved functional capacity, is just as crucial as prolonging survival. Patients with heart failure (HF) experience much worse QoL and effort intolerance than both the general population and people with other chronic conditions, since they present a ...

Current Diagnosis and Therapeutic Approach of Functional Mitral Regurgitation

open access: yesActa Medica Indonesiana
Functional mitral regurgitation is characterized by normal structures of the mitral valve and chordae tendinea, but the regurgitation occurs due to geometric changes in the left atrium and left ventricle.

Echocardiographic quantification of mitral apparatus morphology and dynamics in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research
Mitral regurgitation is among the most common valvular heart diseases. Mitral regurgitation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy is a complex pathology involving annular dilatation, papillary muscle displacement, systolic leaflet tethering, and left ...

The risk of death according to left ventricular ejection fraction and right ventricular dilatation in 17 321 adults with heart failure from 40 high‐, middle‐ and low‐income countries – A Global Congestive Heart Failure (G‐CHF) study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to describe the prognostic importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) versus right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) from countries of different income levels. Methods and results We enrolled 17 321 participants with HF from 40 countries.

Circulating growth differentiation factor‐15 levels are associated with early echocardiographic signs of diastolic function impairment in the STANISLAS cohort: A 20‐year follow‐up study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design and key findings. The (+) and (−) signs mean that the variable has a positive or a negative association with growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF‐15) levels in the fully adjusted model (age, gender, current smoker, body mass index, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide ...
