Because the onset of heart failure may not produce noticeable symptoms, regular checkups with your doctor are important to catching the condition early. If you make an appointment for suspected heart failure, your doctor likely will take a complete medical history, check for risk factors, review y...
In some instances, these medications may exacerbate heart failure symptoms, may be contraindicated in HF because of heightened adverse effects, or may lead to cardiac abnormalities such as conduction problems or valvular defects. Other medications discussed may unmask previously undetected HF or cause ...

loss of appetite, or indigestion. Others may experience difficulty concentrating, nausea and vomiting, decreased urine output or a need to urinate at night. However, heart failure can still occur without these symptoms developing.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has grown to become the dominant form of heart failure worldwide, in tandem with ageing of the general population and the increasing prevalences of obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The clinical syndrome of HFpEF is heterogeneous and ...
2,3 As such, history of chest irradiation in a patient presenting with heart failure symptoms should prompt evaluation of coronary, myocardial, pericardial, and valvular heart disease as well as pulmonary disease (our patient had moderate restrictive lung disease demonstrated by pulmonary function ...
Studies of highly selected populations of patients with both AF and HF indicate that, in the short term, AF ablation improves symptoms of HF, functional capacity, and left ventricular function Randomized, controlled trials to evaluate hard clinical outcomes of AF ablation in patients with both AF ...
Acknowledging the need for increased monitoring of patients at risk for heart failure, Mayo Clinic researchers created an AI-based method to not only monitor patients more closely but also to enhance the diagnosis process. "Currently, we diagnose ventricular dysfunction ― a weak...

Patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have a high burden of symptoms and functional limitations, and have a poor quality of life. By targeting cardiometabolic abmormalities, sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may improve these impairments. In this multic...
