Remarkable recent advances have revolutionized the field of heart failure. Survival has
improved among individuals with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction and for the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a
relatively new disease entity used in medical terminology; however, both the number of …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is currently classified according to left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF); however, the prognostic value of LVEF is controversial. Myocardial strain is …

Aims Whether prevalence and mortality of patients with heart failure with preserved or mid-
range (40–49%) ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFmREF) are similar to those of heart failure …

Background We assessed the prognostic significance of absolute and percentage change in
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in patients hospitalised for …

The incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing and its
challenging diagnosis and management combines clinical, imagistic and biological data …

Background Malnutrition is common in hospitalized heart failure (HF) patients and predicts
adverse outcomes. The relationship between nutritional status and outcomes in HF has …

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly frequent form
and is estimated to be the dominant form of HF. On the other hand, HFpEF is a syndrome …

Background Identifying patients with acute heart failure (HF) at high risk for readmission or
death after hospital discharge will enable the optimization of treatment and management …

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) have become important diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in
cardiovascular diseases, particularly in heart failure (HF). Diagnosis and management of …
