More elderly Americans are living with heart failure
The number of elderly individuals newly diagnosed with heart failure has declined during the past ten years, but the number of those living with the condition has increased. view more (2008-02-26)
The Definitive Beta-blocker For Heart Failure? (pp 2, 7, 14)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the beta-blocker carvedilol offers substantial survival benefit compared with another widely-used beta blocker for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Beta blockers reduce death in patients who are also taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors for chronic heart failure. In... view more... (2003-07-02)
Successful treatment for acute heart failure remains elusive
In recent years, cardiologists have begun to view acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) as a distinct condition, not merely a part of the chronic heart failure continuum. view more (2005-12-21)
Importance of preventing congestion in heart failure
Preventing vascular congestion is an important mediator in heart failure, reports a study in the June issue of the Journal of Cardiac Failure published by Elsevier. view more (2009-06-04)
Altered sodium channel function linked to heart failure
The results of a study, using mice and heart muscle cells from rabbits, by researchers from Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany, have provided a potential molecular explanation for the abnormally rapid heartbeats known as ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) that can cause the sudden death associated with heart failure. view more (2006-11-27)
Protein Plays Critical Role in Heart Failure in Both the Heart and Adrenal Gland
A protein that plays an important regulatory role in heart failure in the heart also exerts powerful effects on the adrenal gland, Jefferson Medical College researchers have found. view more (2005-11-16)
Some factors related to heart function and linked with heart failure more common than believed
Several factors related to heart function and that play a role in heart failure are more prevalent than previously thought. view more (2006-11-08)
Heart failure treated 'in the brain'
Beta-blockers heal the heart via the brain when administered during heart failure, according to a new study by UCL (University College London). view more (2008-03-26)
Study shows digitalis safe in patients with common form of heart failure
Despite a widely held belief that the heart drug digitalis shouldn't be given to patients with diastolic heart failure, a new analysis shows it is relatively safe. view more (2006-07-26)
Implantable monitor may help in managing diastolic heart failure
An implantable hemodynamic monitor (IHM) may help to guide medical treatment in a large subgroup of patients with heart failure-those with diastolic heart failure (DHF). view more (2008-12-11)
Breakthrough Hope in Heart Failure Diagnosis
Blood test could hold vital clues: Medical experts at the University of Leicester are about to investigate a new blood test technique that could help GPs to diagnose heart failure. The test may avoid the need for patients to join a hospital waiting list to check for the condition. Researchers from Department of Medicine and Therapeutics and... view more... (2000-10-16)
New study reports improved treatment and reduced mortality for patients with heart failure
UCLA researchers tracked heart failure in-hospital patient trends from 2002 to 2004 for 285 hospitals nationwide and found significant changes in treatment patterns and quality-of-care indicators that paralleled improvements in clinical outcomes and mortality. view more (2007-05-02)
Exercise improves survival in heart patients
Properly supervised exercise programmes improve survival in people with chronic heart failure, finds new research. At present, exercise is not widely used because good evidence is lacking. Researchers analysed nine trials involving 801 patients with heart failure. Of these, 395 received exercise training for at least eight weeks and 406 received... view more... (2004-01-16)
Diabetes drugs increase risk of heart failure, research shows
A class of drugs commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes may double the risk of heart failure, according to a new analysis by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues. view more (2007-07-27)
Clinical study on heart failure to use cholesterol-lowering statin
An advanced study launched at Yale School of Medicine is evaluating the role of statin therapy in patients with heart failure, one of the leading causes of hospitalization in people over age 65. view more (2005-11-14)
Statin therapy may lower mortality in heart failure patients
Cholesterol-lowering statin therapy may improve survival in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) according to a paper published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association by cardiologists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2005-07-25)
Sleep apnea may not be closely linked to heart failure severity
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA) are not markedly decreased in heart failure (HF) patients managed with beta-blockers and spironolactone. view more (2009-05-06)
While focusing on heart disease, researchers discover new tactic against fatal muscular dystrophy
Based on a striking similarity between heart disease and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have discovered that a new class of experimental drugs for heart failure may also help treat the fatal muscular disorder. view more (2009-02-09)
Heartburn drug may help to slow progression of chronic heart failure
An over-the-counter medication used to treat heartburn and acid reflux also appears to help decrease the debilitating effects of chronic heart failure, preliminary research shows. view more (2006-09-26)
Better treatment selection and improved therapies -- key to improving prognosis in acute HF
Today, acute heart failure represents the most common reason for hospitalisation in the over-65 population. view more (2009-06-01)
