Self-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.

The Prevalence of Anemia in Elderly With Systolic Heart Failure

Objectives: Anemia is prevalent in heart failures and is an independent risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CHF. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of anemia in elderly with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz Hospital of Karaj in 2009. Methods & Materials: This is a descriptive retrospective study that reviewed 154 medical records o...

Acute heart failure with preserved systolic function.

Many patients with acute heart failure have marked hypertension and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. In these patients, the heart failure usually does not result from transient systolic dysfunction or valvular abnormalities but rather results from diastolic dysfunction. Treatment of this condition includes control of hypertension, cautious diuresis, and, if necessary, ventilatory s...

Treatment of heart failure with preserved systolic function.

Heart failure is a major public health problem. Heart failure with preserved systolic function (HF-PSF) is a common form, which is difficult to diagnose. Results of recent studies show that HF-PSF has a poor prognosis, with an annual survival rate similar to that of heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Despite these findings, the therapeutic management of HF-PSF is not clea...

Heart failure with preserved systolic function. A different natural history?

Three well-controlled epidemiology studies in the U.S. have reported that 40% of incident congestive heart failure (CHF) cases and 50% to 60% of prevalent CHF cases occur in the setting of preserved systolic function. This condition has been termed "diastolic heart failure" (DHF). Despite minor differences in the types of populations examined, these community-based studies have established DHF ...
