A normal-looking heart pumping percentage does not always mean that every part of the heart is working well. New research from China shows that a large share of patients with a common form of heart failure also have problems with the chamber that pumps blood to the lungs. The study found right ventricular dysfunction in […] The post Common Heart Failure Linked to Other Heart Problems appeared fir…
Objective There is limited research comparing demographic and clinical characteristics between patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) and new-onset cardiomyopathy (CM) to patients with new-onset CM without dysrhythmia. We aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with new-onset CM with and without AF and to report their real-world treatment. Methods and Resul…
Heart failure is a serious condition that affects millions of people around the world. It happens when the heart becomes too weak or stiff to pump blood properly through the body. Even though the heart does not completely stop working, it cannot keep up with the body’s needs as well as a healthy heart can. […] The post New pill may help people with heart failure sleep and breathe better appeared …
Heart failure is a serious condition that affects millions of people around the world. It happens when the heart cannot pump blood as well as it should. One common type is called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF. In this condition, the heart seems to pump normally, but it becomes stiff and cannot […] The post Can losing weight benefit people with heart failure? appeared fi…
Findings from the Can Escalation Reduce Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality in Cardiogenic Shock (CERAMICS) registry demonstrate that early use of a small heart pump improves outcomes in patients experiencing a severe form of heart failure called cardiogenic shock after suffering from a heart attack and undergoing a stenting procedure.
Reprieve Cardiovascular has announced the first-in-human results of the Reprieve System at the CSI Focus D-HF—device therapies in heart failure—conference (13–14 December, Frankfurt, Germany). Results of the study demonstrated the potential of the Reprieve system to safely accelerate and maximise decongestion while reducing the likelihood of kidney injury for patients with ADHF. “Heart failure pa…
Brightflow SAS has announced the appointment of Sophie Humbert as chief executive officer (CEO). Brightflow is pioneering developments to better manage right heart failure, which occurs when the right ventricle (RV) loses its ability to pump blood to the lungs. Brightflow aims to make available the first long-term percutaneously implantable system to support RV failure […] The post Brightflow app…
