متن کاملManagement of heart failure. IV. Anticoagulation for patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE This article reviews the incidence of arterial thromboembolism in patients with heart failure who are not receiving anticoagulants. We also examine whether more severe ventricular dysfunction increases this incidence and the efficacy and risks of anticoagulation for patients in sinus rhythm. DATA SOURCES English-language studies referenced in MEDLINE or EMBASE (January 1966 to Septe...
متن کاملAutonomic Predictors of Hospitalization Due to Heart Failure Decompensation in Patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
INTRODUCTION Autonomic nervous system balance can be significantly deteriorated during heart failure exacerbation. However, it is still unknown whether these changes are only the consequence of heart failure decompensation or can also predict development thereof. Objectives were to verify if simple, non-invasive autonomic parameters, such as baroreflex sensitivity and short-term heart rate vari...
متن کامل"Diastolic heart failure" or heart failure caused by subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with suspected heart failure but preserved systolic function, as determined by conventional echocardiographic measures (often said to have "diastolic heart failure), might have subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction detectable by a new measure of left ventricular systolic function-left ventricular systolic atrioventricular plane displacement. DES...
متن کاملPharmacologic Management of Heart Failure and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction: Summary
Heart failure (HF) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality; it is a primary or secondary cause of death for approximately 250,000 people per year in the United States. According to the 2002 Heart and Stroke Statistical Update (www.americanheart.org), HF was the first-listed diagnosis for 962,000 hospitalizations in 1999, and it is the most common diagnosis among hospital patients...
