Medical Treatment of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction – Aimed at Reducing Re- hospitalisations
نویسنده
چکیده
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 contrast, patients with chronic heart failure that are hospitalised for an episode of decompensation continue have a high mortality and excessive hospital readmission rates.[2]

Effect of Exercise Training on Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Heart Failure After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Background: This study aims to evaluate the effect of exercise training on heart rate variability (HRV) and to determine the correlation between parameters of HRV and the ejection fraction in patients with heart failure after percutaneous coronary intervention.Material and Methods: Fifty patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% undergone percutaneous coronary intervention were r...
متن کاملPrognosis of patients with secondary mitral regurgitation and reduced ejection fraction
Objective The impact of the severity of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) on the risk of death and heart failure (HF) hospitalisations in patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function is poorly defined. The study sought to identify the incremental risk of secondary MR in patients with reduced LV systolic function. Methods We studied 615 consecutive patients with LV ejection ...

متن کاملEvaluation 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...
