Background: Heart disease causes functional disorders that can cause the sufferer to experience fatigue and dyspnea, leading low quality of life. Various factors related life heart failure patients include occupation ejection fraction. The number treated at Aceh government hospital is still high in 2021, as well incidence recurrent hospitalization. Objectives: This study aimed determine relatio...

heart failure (hf) is a common disease with high health care costs and high mortality rate knowledge of the health-related quality of life (qol) outcomes of hf may guide decision making and be useful in assessing new therapies for population. yet little is known about qol of hf patients in iran. objectives: to assess health related qol of patients with hf with two different instrument and to co...

Background: This study aimed to assess the quality of life patients with chronic heart failure (HF) improve their treatment and care. Methods: was conducted evaluate 89 suffering from assessed using Minnesota Living Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). In addition, presence depressive symptoms perception social support were also by Beck Depre...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Multidisciplinary strategies for the management of heart failure (HF) improve outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of noninvasive home telemonitoring in ambulatory patients with HF already included in a structured multidisciplinary HF program. METHODS Prospective intervention study with before/after comparison design of an interactive telemedicine platf...

BACKGROUND Randomised controlled trials generally suggest that cardiac resynchronisation improves outcomes in patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony. Our objective was to provide a valid synthesis of the effects of CRT on mortality, major morbidity, quality of life and implantation success rates. METHODS Systematic overview and meta-a...

INTRODUCTION Heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases which decrease the quality of life. Most of the factors influencing the quality of life can be modified with educational interventions. Therefore, this study examined the impact of a continuous training program on quality of life of patients with heart failure. METHODS This randomized clinical trial study was conduct...

BACKGROUND Despite its high prevalence, optimal therapy for diastolic heart failure (DHF) has not been determined. Alagebrium chloride (ALT-711) is a novel compound that breaks glucose crosslinks and may improve ventricular and arterial compliance. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 23 patients, mean age 71 years, with stable DHF, ejection fraction (EF) >50%, were enrolled in a 16-week, open-labe...

Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a novel device-based therapy for heart failure that involves applying electrical signals during the absolute refractory period of the myocardial action potential. This therapy has been shown to augment the strength of left ventricular contraction independent of myocardial oxygen consumption in animal models as well as human studies of patients with hear...

The increasing prevalence and poor prognosis associated with heart failure have prompted research to focus on improving quality of life (QoL) for heart failure patients. Research from 1996-2005 was systematically reviewed to identify randomized controlled trials that assessed QoL in heart failure. In 120 studies, 44 were medication trials; 19 surgical/procedural interventions; and 57 patient ca...
