Medical Treatment of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction – Aimed at Reducing Re- hospitalisations
Introduction The prognosis of patients with heart failure has significantly improved in the past decades with the advent of therapies such as angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, betablockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), ivabradine, LCZ696 and with devices such as implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT).[1] By ...
متن کاملThe role of echocardiography in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Echocardiography is the most important imaging tool for managing heart failure patients. With the advent of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), its role has been broadened by data pertaining to patient selection, optimization of device settings, and outcome assessment. Beyond ejection fraction determination, echocardiographic methods that measure tissue velocity and strain may have the cap...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy for congestive heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization represents a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of congestive heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Since its modest beginnings in the 1990s, cardiac resynchronization therapy has gained widespread acceptance as a useful adjunct to pharmacologic therapy for congestive heart failure. Randomized trials have consistently shown functional improvement in pati...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure
The weight of evidence supporting the routine use of cardiac resynchronization therapy, or atrial-synchronized biventricular pacing, as a treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic systolic heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony is now quite substantial. Results from mechanistic studies, observational evaluations, and randomized, controlled trials have consistently demonstrated ...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy.
Systolic heart failure is a major problem for Americans today, with 550,000 new cases diagnosed per year, and ultimately contributes to 287,000 deaths annually. While pharmacologic therapy has drastically improved outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, hospitalizations from systolic heart failure continue to increase and remain a major cost burden. In response to this unmet need, rec...
