Heart Failure News and Research

RSS

Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which a problem with the structure or function of the heart impairs its ability to supply sufficient blood flow to meet the body's needs. It should not be confused with cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction.

Intimate partner violence associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events or death

Experiencing a violent encounter even once with an intimate partner or family member may increase a young adult's risk of having a heart attack, stroke or a heart failure hospitalization years later, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2022.

AI models improve the accuracy of diagnosing coronary artery disease

Several recent discoveries show that the accuracy of diagnosing coronary artery disease and predicting patient risk is improved with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by scientists in the Division of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine at Cedars-Sinai.

In mild cases of COVID, blood clot risk is higher

Researchers examine the association between COVID-19 and increased cardiovascular outcomes and mortality sequelae.

Telehealth follow-up after emergency department visit associated with repeat ED encounters and hospitalizations

Telehealth follow-up consultations following an emergency department visit were associated with 28 more repeat ED encounters and nearly 11 more return hospital admissions per 1000 patients compared with in-person follow-ups, UCLA research suggests.

Researchers discover molecular mechanisms behind mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic heart failure

Investigations in Japan have uncovered some molecular mechanisms behind mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic heart failure.

Combining host gene expression profiling and metagenomic pathogen detection from plasma nucleic acid enables accurate sepsis diagnosis

Researchers developed integrated host-microbe plasma metagenomics to facilitate sepsis diagnosis.

Study reveals TBX20 as a vital regulator of direct human cardiac reprogramming

Mammalian hearts have almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. Thus, dead tissue after an adult heart attack is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes.

Study reveals racial disparities in access to advanced therapies for heart failure

Black adults treated at advanced heart failure centers received potentially life-changing therapies, such as transplants and heart pumps, about half as often as white adults, possibly due to racial bias, a small National Institutes of Health-supported study has found.

High intake of refined grains does not increase risk of cardiovascular disease, study reveals

A new study recently published Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine reveals that consuming high intakes of refined grain foods does not increase one's risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, or stroke.

IU researchers suggest the potential for a new approach to determining heart transplant candidacy

Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have concluded the medical and scientific establishment should expand and re-contextualize its understanding of cannabis use and heart transplantation, suggesting the potential for a completely new approach to determining transplant candidacy.

Physical exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, alleviates adverse effects of cancer treatment

During chemotherapy, physical exercise intervention is safe, improves long-term cardiorespiratory fitness, and alleviates some of the adverse effects of cancer treatment, according to a study published in JACC: CardioOncology.

Do hypertension, dyslipidemia, and new-onset diabetes mellitus play a part in post-COVID sequelae?

A new study evaluated the current research on incidences of hypertension, new-onset diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia as possible sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

People with end-stage renal disease and psoriasis do not have increased risk for heart attack

Studies have suggested that psoriasis is an independent risk factor for heart attack in the general population, but investigators have made the surprising finding that in people who also have end-stage renal disease, which shares many risk factors with heart disease, it is not.

What is the function of micronutrients in COVID-19 recovery?

Researchers assessed the function of micronutrients and metabolites derived from gut microbiota in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery.

18 Oct 2022

High immune protein levels predict both heart failure and death

For years, cardiologists have zeroed in on a hormone called BNP as a gold standard to determine if patients with heart failure are at risk of severe illness or death. It's released by the heart in response to when the cardiac tissue stretches due to pressure.

Medically tailored meals could result in net cost savings of $13.6 billion each year

Adopting more programs that make and deliver medically tailored meals to people with serious, diet-sensitive diseases could result not only in improved health outcomes in the form of fewer hospitalizations nationally, but in a net cost savings of approximately $13.6 billion each year, according to new research from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.
