Routine quantitative CT scans performed during acute COPD exacerbations can reveal undiagnosed cardiac dysfunction, with ...

USA: Researchers have discovered in a new study that an AI-based electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) algorithm demonstrated strong ...

Research for other indications is ongoing. In the first trial of microRNA inhibition to treat heart failure, a novel agent ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by impaired contractility and high ...

Heart failure sounds alarming—and rightfully so. Yet approximately 6.5 million Americans currently live with this condition, many with the specific variant called systolic heart failure, and a ...

Heart failure sounds scary – because it is. But here’s the thing: millions of Americans are walking around right now with a specific type called systolic heart failure, and many don’t even know it.

It is a common perception that approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present with a normal or near-normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ("HF with preserved systolic function"), ...

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath and ...
