Remodeling of the mononuclear phagocyte network underlies chronic inflammation and disease progression in heart failure: critical importance of the cardiosplenic axis.

Evaluation of intravenous injection of amniotic membrane stem cells to reduce inflammatory factors in heart failure

Background: Heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders and is considered a chronic, progressive and debilitating disorder. The medical treatment of this disease is accompanied by many problems. Today, stem cells are being used increasingly to reduce the problems of heart failure treatments. Since pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the prognosis and progre...

Evaluation of the Association between Family Social Support and Disease-related Concerns of Patients with Heart Failure Hospitalized in Public Hospitals in Birjand, Iran in 2018

Background & Aim: Heart failure is a major growing problem that affects patients, their families, and the social network. The higher the level of social support provided by families, the lower the risk of heart failure progression in individuals. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family social support and disease-related concerns of patients with heart failure. Materials & ...

Family-Centered Education and Self-care Behaviors of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Background: As for high prevalence and incidence of heart failure, it can impose huge health, economic, and social burden on society. Education and self-care are important aspects of management in patients with heart failure, which can control the disease complications. This study aimed to investigate the effect of family-centered education approach on self-care behaviors of the patients wi...

The effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure

Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...

  Background & Objective : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome and increases in rate by aging. Because changes in ECG and electrolytes are variable, specific and sometimes independent to the disease with different methods to be diagnosed, in this study we tried to find a way to diagnose them.   Materials & Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive-analytic study. Data was collected from dec...
