1. Congestive Heart Failure and Angina Congestive heart failure (CHF) and angina represent significant burdens in cardiovascular medicine. CHF is a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. ...
HFpEF is discussed at the end of this section. Table 1. Stages in the development of heart failure StagePatient CharacteristicsTherapy A. At risk for CHF but without structural heart disease or symptoms of CHF HTN, CAD, diabetes Treat underlying risk factors B. Structural heart disease but ...
Patients in stage D of congestive heart failure show signs and symptoms of heart failure even though they might not have undergone treatment and therapy to cure it. Monitoring of diet, exercise and blood pressure is still adhered during stage D. Patients at this stage are prescribed with medicat...
Heart failure is a major worldwide public health problem, it is the end stage of heart disease and it could lead to high mortality. At present, heart failure is usually associated with old age, given the dramatic increase in the population of older people (ACCF/AHA, 2013). In the USA,...
Stage B –This is people with systolic left ventricular dysfunction, which includes those that have previously had a heart attack, have heart muscle breakdown or valve disease. These individuals do not yet have symptoms of congestive heart failure. ...
Such therapy, although being prescribed for hypertension, may actually have been treating early-stage CHF. Cessation of such therapy, followed by substitution therapy with doxazosin, may have then allowed heart failure symptoms to become manifest. Conversely, in the chlorthalidone group, such symptoms ...
Stage D is patients with systolic heart failure and presence of advanced symptoms after receiving optimum medical care. Other risk factors for heart failure are some diabetes medications, sleep apnea, congenital heart defects, viruses, and irregular heartbeats. Heart Failure can be treated and managed...
A method for treating congestive heart failure (CHF) has been developed that restores kidney renal functions by artificially perfusion of at least one kidney. The kidney is perfused with the patient's
Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Congestive Heart FailureAngina-type chest pain, syncope, and congestive heart failure (CHF) are common manifestations of aortic stenosis with CHF typically being the late, end-stage result that links aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. In this chapter ...
