Hepatic and portal vein Dopplers in the clinical management of patients with right-sided heart failure: two case reports

The Ultrasound Journal, 2019
Background Patients with right heart failure pose significant volume management challenges for hemodynamic optimization. We present two cases in which point of care ultrasound (POCUS) of the hepatic and portal veins contributed to the venous hypertension

Unusual right heart failure in a patient with heart transplant [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2010
A 53-year-old man with a history of two heart transplantations in a context of Becker muscular dystrophy was admitted in our department with a 2-month history of moderate right-sided heart failure. He reported a stage 3 NYHA dyspnoea. Heart sounds were distant, with no murmurs, gallops, or rub. He presented peripheral oedema, hepatomegaly, …

Developing new treatments for heart failure: focus on the heart [PDF]

, 2016
Compared with heart failure (HF) care 20 to 30 years ago, there has been tremendous advancement in therapy for ambulatory HF with reduced ejection fraction with the use of agents that block maladaptive neurohormonal pathways.

The EuroHeart Failure survey programme—a survey on the quality of care among patients with heart failure in Europe Part 1: patient characteristics and diagnosis [PDF]

, 2003
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has published guidelines for the investigation of patients with suspected heart failure and, if the diagnosis is proven, their subsequent management.

4-Valve Heart Disease and Right Heart Failure [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2018
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare form of heart disease due to secretion of vasoactive compounds, including serotonin, from gastrointestinal tumors. This E-challenge examines the case of a patient with advanced carcinoid heart disease who presented to the operating room (OR) for a tricuspid valve replacement.

A case report: corheart 6 biventricular assist device therapy for end-stage heart failure in dilated cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Approximately one-third of patients with end-stage heart failure (ESHF) experience biventricular failure. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are employed as a salvage therapy for individuals with advanced heart failure.

Right Ventricular Myocardial Biomarkers in Human Heart Failure

, 2017
Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction contributes to mortality in chronic heart failure (HF). However, the molecular mechanisms of RV failure remain poorly understood, and RV myocardial bio-markers have yet to be developed. Methods and Results:

Natriuretic Peptides in Chronic Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2019
Normal brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) levels are helpful in excluding chronic heart failure in the ambulatory setting, although they have been studied less well and possibly less accurately than in acute care.
