Heart failure. Research shows that high-sensitivity troponin tests can help doctors identify people at risk of heart failure even before they have symptoms of the disease. If you have heart failure, the test may be used to see if you're at risk of needing hospitalization for the condition. ...
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy showed typical lesions for myocardial sarcoidosis. There were signs of an old anteroseptal infarction in the resting ECG without evidence of myocardial ischemia during a stress test. Repeated Holter-ECGs were without signs of severe arrhythmias whereas ventricular late ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a supervised cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on long-term quality of life (QoL) of patients with heart failure (HF).Methods: A sample of 21 HF patients, previously sedentary, NYHA II, was randomly divided into two groups: the CR ...
From the GRACE score, the Killip class component requires the physician’s judgment for the diagnosis of heart failure, generating inter-rater variation. Very few patients undergo additional tests for heart failure, such as ECG and natriuretic peptide level, because they are not available in PCECs...
Biomarkers are objective tools with an important role for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy optimization in patients with heart failure (HF). To date, natriuretic peptides are closest to optimal biomarker standards for clinical implications in HF. Therefore, the efforts to identify and test new biomar...
No studies have explored the role of CRT in patients with unstable heart failure.Methods 28 patients [age 65.2 (2.4) yrs [mean (SEM)] who had an acute exa cerbation of heart failure within a month (n=20) or within 1 week (n=8) of pacemaker implantation underwent a 6-min walk test...
Heart failure (HF) occurs frequently among older individuals, and dysfunction of cardiac mitochondria is often observed. We here show the cardiac-specific downregulation of a certain mitochondrial component during the chronological aging of mice, which i

Cardiopoietic stem cells have reached advanced clinical testing for ischemic heart failure. To profile their molecular influence on recipient hearts, systems proteomics was here applied in a chronic model of infarction randomized with and without human cardiopoietic stem cell treatment. Multidimensional lab...
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed with a Bonferroni post hoc test for multiple group comparisons. p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Ndufs1 expression is decreased in the myocardium of heart failure patients and post-MI mice To investigate the changes...
