Abstract: Diastolic heart failure (DHF) currently accounts for more than 50% of all heart failure patients. DHF is also referred to as heart failure with normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFNEF) to indicate that HFNEF could be a precursor of hear...
Abstract: Specific criteria have been established to define the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in cardiovascular clinical trials, but there is not a consistent definition for heart failure. Heart failure events appear to occur at a rate th...
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have a continuing high mortality. Autonomic dysfunction may play an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiac death in CHF. UK-HEART examined the value of heart rate variability (HRV) measu...
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The multidisciplinary approach to managing heart failure has been shown to improve outcomes. The role of a clinical pharmacist in treating heart failure has not been evaluated. METHODS: One hundred eighty-one patients with heart failure a...
Abstract: Therapy has improved the survival of heart failure (HF) patients. However, many patients progress to advanced chronic HF (ACHF). We propose a practical clinical definition and describe the characteristics of this condition. Patients that are generall...
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To evaluate physician-determined worsening heart failure (PD-WHF) in patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS: The PROTECT pilot study evaluated rolofylline, an adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist, versus placebo in patien...
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Heart failure in blacks has been associated with a poorer prognosis than in whites. In such diseases as hypertension, blacks show pathophysiological differences and respond differently to some therapies than whites. The aim of this study ...
Abstract: BACKGROUND: A progressive relationship between hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) levels and cardiovascular (CV) events has been observed in persons with and without diabetes. To our knowledge, the nature of such a relationship in patients with symptomatic c...

Abstract:
Abstract: The treatment of chronic heart failure secondary to Chagas disease has been based on extrapolation of data achieved in the treatment of non-Chagas disease heart failure. Because beta-blockers decrease the incidence of sudden cardiac death in non-Chag...
Abstract:
Abstract: Aims: Mortality in patients with heart failure remains high and is difficult to predict. QT interval parameters on a 12-lead ECG have been shown to predict arrhythmic events in patients with a variety of myocardial diseases. There is some, but not co...
Abstract:
Abstract: BACKGROUND: beta-Blocker therapy has been shown to increase ejection fraction in patients with heart failure of idiopathic etiology. However, in patients with heart failure of ischemic etiology, the effects of this treatment on left ventricular funct...
