Overcoming Heart Failure: Combining Eastern And Western Approaches Overview Heart failure (HF) stands as a significant global health challenge, markedly affecting prognosis. While conventional medical approaches are prominent in HF management, there is an emerging emphasis on integrating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With a rich history spanning over two millennia, TCM offers

Anticoagulation Therapy In Risky Geriatric Cardiac Patients
Anticoagulation Therapy In Risky Geriatric Cardiac Patients In the realm of cardiovascular health, the coexistence of atrial fibrillation (AF) with heart failure (HF) presents a significant challenge for anticoagulation, particularly in the aging population. Uncertainties abound regarding treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. The All Nippon AF In the Elderly (ANAFIE) Registry,
Heart Failure Polygenic Risk Predictions
Heart Failure Polygenic Risk Predictions Overview This study explores the genetic associations and risk prediction capabilities of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) derived from risk factors shared with heart failure (HF) in bi-racial populations. The risk factors considered include atrial fibrillation (AF), body mass index (BMI), coronary heart disease (CHD), systolic blood pressure
Seizure Detection Algorithm Using Heart Rate Variability
Seizure Detection Algorithm Using Heart Rate Variability Overview This study aimed to validate a novel seizure detection algorithm, based on heart rate variability (HRV) and logistic regression machine learning (LRML), in a Brazilian patient cohort undergoing long-term video-electroencephalography (LTM) monitoring. The LRML algorithm had shown promise in a Danish patient cohort, and
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
N95 Mask Wearing By Dentists: An Evaluation Of Cardiovascular Effects
N95 Mask Wearing By Dentists: An Evaluation Of Cardiovascular Effects Overview Limited research exists on cardiovascular changes in dentists using N95 respirators or surgical mask-covered N95s during pediatric dental procedures. This crossover clinical trial involved 18 healthy dentists, exploring cardiovascular responses while treating pediatric patients with either an N95 respirator or a
