Myocardial metabolic manipulation: a new therapeutic approach in heart failure?

Myocardial metabolic manipulation using drugs such as trimetazidine may offer a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of heart failure.

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

Metabolic imaging Myocardial efficiency in heart failure: non invasive imaging

Any mechanical pump is far from efficient. Only a fraction of its input energy is ultimately converted to external work. In the case of the heart, this fraction is approximately 25%, and is defined as mechanical efficiency. Heart failure as a result of dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by a reduction in efficiency, the extent of which serves as an important prognostic marker. Despite its ...
