Spotlight On Heart Failure Pathophysiology: Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction Overview In the comprehensive investigation of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a multitude of underlying mechanisms were explored, among which coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) emerged as a pivotal contributor to the pathophysiology. Through a rigorous systematic review and meta-analysis, the research aimed

Acute Heart Failure: Measuring The Diversity Of Health Related Quality Of Life Markers
Acute Heart Failure: Measuring The Diversity Of Health Related Quality Of Life Markers Overview A recent study investigated the impact of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) on the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of patients and the inconsistencies that may arise when using different HR-QoL measurement tools. Conducted at a
Constipation Effect On Readmission In Heart Failure Patients
Constipation Effect On Readmission In Heart Failure Patients Constipation, a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder in Japan, affects 34.8 per 1000 individuals, rising with age and linked to factors like reduced dietary fiber and physical activity. Chronic constipation, unlike other functional gastrointestinal diseases, exhibits a significantly higher mortality risk, particularly notable in cardiovascular
Chronic Hyponatremia in Acute Heart Failure
Chronic Hyponatremia in Acute Heart Failure Overview This study aimed to comprehensively assess hyponatremia in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), focusing on its prevalence, associations, hospital course, and post-discharge outcomes. The research analyzed a cohort of 8,298 AHF patients from the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Long-Term Registry, regardless of
