Heart Failure (Clinical) Heart failure (HF) refers to a complex condition resulting from the structural and/or functional inability of the heart to supply a normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. In HF, impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood leads to fatigue , dyspnea , and...
A new blood test that reliably predicts outcomes for heart failure patients could lead to new diagnostics and treatments for COVID-19 patients as well, according to newly published research from cardiologists at the University of Alberta. The researchers examined circulating angiotensin peptide levels ...
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide and is responsible for a large portion of healthcare and disability costs every year1. HF is challenging to treat because it can have various causes, is impacted by a wide array of patient genetic and lifestyle factors...

Plasma natriuretic peptides (BNP1–32, N-terminal [NT]-proBNP1–76) have been demonstrated to assist in the diagnosis of patients with heart failure. However, the precursor to these polypeptides (proBNP1–108) circulates in plasma and may interfere with the measurement of currently used biomark...
The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) in the western world continues to increase, especially in patients older than 65 years1. CHF is a major burden on the health care system and is associated with high morbidity and mortality, including a poor quality of life2. An important aspect ...
This cluster randomized trial evaluates the effect of a hospital and postdischarge quality improvement intervention vs usual care on time to heart failure
This certifies the hospital maintaining the highest quality of clinical care and stringent safety norms. The hospital has a well facilitated research centres and accredited clinical labs (NABL), ensuring accurate and definitive diagnostic practices. It is considered to be one of the best facilities ...
KG, created byOlive Diagnostics, is a hands-free, noninvasive, AI-based optical device that can be mounted to any toilet. According to the company, it can be used at any home or clinic in the world to accurately detect biomarkers for medical conditions and diseases includi...
Clinical trials for acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS) have traditionally enrolled patients well after emergency department (ED) presentation. We hypothesized a large proportion of patients would undergo changes in clinical profiles during the first 24 h of hospitalization, and these changes would be...
