Cardiac amyloidosis is by far the most frequent secondary form and leads to congestive heart failure by impairing ventricular compliance. Idiopathic fibrosis of the specialized AV junction or dystrophic calcification of central fibrous body are the usual substrates of AV block, which requires pace-maker...
Further diagnostic tests will be needed in order to rule out other conditions or comorbidities such as parenchymal lung disease, COPD, gastro-oesophageal reflux, sleep apnoea or congestive heart failure (Table 2). Assessment of inhalant sensitisation has been shown to be useful in aged patients to...
conclude that the addition of enalapril to conventional therapy in patients with severe congestive heart failure can reduce mortality and improve symptoms. The beneficial effect on mortality is due to a reduction in death from the progression of heart failure. (N Engl J Med 1987; 316:1429–35....

Much of today’s planning for elderly people is based on the theory that although lethal conditions might be postponed as medical technology improves, the incidence of degenerative diseases will be unaltered. This theory predicts that people in their nineties suffer from more diseases and have a gr...

Low blood concentrations of the diet-derived compound ergothioneine (ET) have been associated with cognitive impairment and cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) in cross-sectional studies, but it is unclear whether ET levels can predict subsequent cognitive an
