during admission for HF is associated with a higher rate of implementation of medical therapy, fewer discharges on diuretic therapy, and lower in-hospital and long-term mortality across the left ventricular ejection fraction spectrum, especially for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection ...
AstraZeneca's Forxiga gets NICE backing for heart failure in draft guidance; around 260,000 patients may be eligible
An immediate, temporal risk of heart failure and arrhythmias after a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation has been demonstrated, particularly in the first month post-exacerbation.

This is seen most clearly in heart failure, where metabolic inflexibility and energetic deficit are associated with maladaptive metabolic remodelling [3, 4]. This review aims to provide an overview of cardiac metabolism in heart failure at its three most important stages: [1] substrate utilisation,...
