Abstract Background: Diastolic heart failure comprises 50 percent of cases of heart failure. The implications of increased levels of cardiac troponin I (CTnI) on congestive heart failure with preserved systolic function (AHF PEF) have been poorly evaluated. We hypothesized that its level might be elevated in AHF PEF so this evaluation was done in patients referred to Taleghani hospital with ...

 Background: Considering roles of social-psychological risk factors, behavior and unhealthy life etiology and pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, this study explores vital exhaustion and type D personality in patients with heart disease, acute myocardial infarction and heart failure with normal individuals. Methods: In the is causal-comparative study, 100 patients diagnosed with car...

Background and purpose: Heart failure (HF) is characterized by decreased ability of the heart to provide sufficient blood flow or fill with the blood. Hyponatremia is the most commonly seen electrolyte abnormality in patients with heart failure that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between hyponatremia and high risk clinic...
