Dyspnoea was recorded as a source of distress in one fifth of participants. Clinical history and symptoms were indicative of chronic heart failure in 40% of cases. This audit has revealed that skill mix and access to medical care are significant barriers to optimal care and are important ...

Symptoms in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction may be caused by isolated diastolic dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction as a potential cause of dyspnea in a sample of elderly subjects, as well as of ...
inflammatory and prothrombotic markers can serve as predictors of changes in the renal function in elderly patients without direct measurements of GFR [22]. At the same time
Life-prolonging therapy can lead to symptoms that require palliation, and, in some instances, (e.g., end-stage heart failure) life-prolonging therapy and palliative therapy may be indistinguishable. Palliative care, with the control of symptoms, relief of suffering, and promotion of quality of...
Conditions such as malnutrition, the presence of diabetes mellitus, and heart failure contributed to a significantly higher mortality rate in elderly patients with USPD. In this study, the six-month, one-year, and two-year survival rates of older patients aged 65 years and above receiving USPD ...

After adjusting for age and sex, diabetic patients had similar rates of progression of echocardiographic disorders, and de novo cardiac failure, but higher rates of de novo clinically diagnosed ischaemic heart disease (RR 3.2, p = 0.0002), overall mortality (RR 2.3, p < 0.0001) and ...
(76.5%), HTx-waiting:n= 12 (70.6%)), between 50 and 60 years old, and around 30–40% had pre-existing renal failure. In most cases, the diagnosis leading to end-stage heart failure was ischemic cardiomyopathy. The majority of patients reported heart failure symptoms (NYHA ≥ 3) and ...
Chronic productive or mixed inflammation and its exacerbation—in the form of exudative–destructive inflammation, usually of the fibrinous type—are all symptoms of autoimmune diseases [126]. As previously stated, autoimmune inflammation is closely linked to vectors i1 and i3, with i-reg and, part...
