Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in heart failure.
Heart failure (HF), affecting an increasing number of patients, is associated with several diagnostic, therapeutic, socioeconomic problems. Despite considerable advances, prognosis in HF--both in systolic failure and in that with preserved systolic function--is poor, which in part results from not the fully understood pathophysiology of this disease, and therapeutic approaches used at present. ...

متن کاملHormonal alterations in heart failure: anabolic impairment in chronic heart failure - diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic issues.
Chronic heart failure represents a leading cause of mortality and health care expenditure in developed countries. In the last 20 years, medical therapy of heart failure has dramatically changed thanks to the introduction of agents able to significantly reduce the neurohormonal hyperactivation that underpins the syndrome, and to the growing opportunities of electrical therapies. Although major a...
متن کاملIron deficiency and heart failure: diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic perspectives
Iron is a micronutrient essential for cellular energy and metabolism, necessary for maintaining body homoeostasis. Iron deficiency is an important co-morbidity in patients with heart failure (HF). A major factor in the pathogenesis of anaemia, it is also a separate condition with serious clinical consequences (e.g. impaired exercise capacity) and poor prognosis in HF patients. Experimental evid...
متن کاملBiomarkers in heart failure.
Nowadays, heart failure (HF) has an increasing prevalence, particularly in the elderly, and is becoming a clinical problem of epidemic proportion in terms of morbidity and mortality. Developing biological markers, that can aid in the diagnosis of HF and in the differentiation of congestive heart failure (CHF) from other causes of dyspnoea, will reduce the cost of health care. However, an ideal ...
