Evolution and pathophysiology of chronic systolic heart failure.
Understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic systolic heart failure evolved from a purely mechanical model to one in which a cascade of neurohormones and biologically active molecules are thought to be critical in the development, maintenance, and progression of the disease. Two important neurohormonal systems are the sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems. Initially, ...
متن کاملSystolic heart failure: chronic and acute syndromes.
Systolic heart failure is characterized by ventricular dilation and reduced ejection fraction, and this syndrome may be either chronic or acute. Left ventricular remodeling is the principal cause of progression of systolic heart failure. Acute heart failure resulting from cardiomyopathy has similar functional and morphologic abnormalities. This review discusses remodeling, initial therapy based...

متن کاملDigoxin and reduction of heart failure hospitalization in chronic systolic and diastolic heart failure.
In the Digitalis Investigation Group trial, digoxin-associated decrease in the combined end point of heart failure (HF) hospitalization or HF mortality was significant in systolic but not in diastolic HF. To assess whether this apparent disparity could be explained by differences in baseline characteristics and sample size, we used propensity score matching to assemble a cohort of 916 pairs of ...
متن کاملSelf-care behaviors in patients with systolic heart failure
Background and Purpose: To improve life quality, and lower mortality and rehospitalization for heart failure patients, awareness and adherence to self-care behaviors are essential. This study aims to determine the adherence level to self-care behaviors in the patients with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz hospital in Karaj andShahriar hospital, and it was conducted in 2013. Methods...
