The medical management of congestive heart failure involves manipulating myocardial contractility and loading conditions to achieve optimal performance. Medication may be used to counteract potentially deleterious neurohumoral changes that are associated with congestive heart failure. When appropriate, the correct...
Technology has the potential to provide support for self-management to people with congestive heart failure (CHF). This paper describes the results of a realist evaluation of the SMART Personalised Self-Management System (PSMS) for CHF. The PSMS was used
Heart failure is a progressive problem, even when the underlying cause of myocardial damage is controlled, because of gradual dilatation and dysfunction of the myocardium-a process termed remodeling. Myocardial remodeling...
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an extremely serious complication of valvular heart disease. Not only does it indicate that the valve lesion is severe but, in almost all instances, the onset of CHF has been related to an important deterioration in the subsequent clinical course. Thus, the pr...
BackgroundThe management of congestive heart failure has undergone a number of modifications over the past 5 to 10 years.MethodsThese include assaying the
Surgical management of congestive heart failure: translational research to clinical application – the future is bright! Olfactory Nerve Schwannomas (ONS) affect cranial nerve I (CN I), responsible for the sense of smell. This systematic review aims to comprehensively examine... Edgar G Chedrawy,...

BACKGROUND: Circulating concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the aminoterminal fragment (NT-proBNP) of its prohormone (proBNP) are increased in congestive heart failure in proportion to the severity of symptoms, the degree of left ventricular dysfunction, and cardiac filling pressure...
Tricuspid regurgitation is a notable aspect of congestive heart failure and is linked with worse outcomes if untreated. Functional tricuspid regurgitation commonly is seen in patients with heart failure, particularly in patients presenting for surgical management, such as those for mechanical cardiac assist...
