Inflammation plays an important role in the development of heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI). Suppression of post-infarction inflammatory cascade has become a new strategy to delay or block the progression of HF. At present, there are no approved anti-inflammatory drugs used to ...
heart failure. Occasionally, blood flow through the lungs can be obstructed due to large numbers of adults in thepulmonary arteries. Thereafter, worms may migrate to theright atrium, ventricle and on to thevena cava. This blockage is known as caval syndrome and may result in heart failure and...

Little is known regarding the relationship between self-reported gait speed and the subsequent risk of heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We sought to clarify the clinical utility of self-reported gait speed in primary CVD prevention se
Heart failure Critically ill patients who have very high blood pressure may have "malignant hypertension." It is a medical emergency, and you should be treated in the emergency room. Symptoms might include chest pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, headache, and weakness. Fortunately, high...
