AimsWe investigated whether addition of diastolic dysfunction (DD) and longitudinal strain (LS) to Stage B heart failure (SBHF) criteria (structural or systolic abnormality) improves prediction of symptomatic HF
Heart failure is a clinical diagnosis. Patients in SBHF may minimize or deny their symptoms in the early phases, and clinical recognition can be difficult. The prevalence estimates may vary broadly depending on the diagnostic criteria. A recent meta-analysis reported that incident HF diagnosis in ...
The International Society for Heart Lung Transplantation has published criteria to guide heart transplantation listing for patients with the most advanced disease, including an extensive evaluation, clinical risk scores, and an assessment of comorbidities.2 End-stage HF accounts for 1% to 10% of all ...

Fifteen studies (8 randomized and 7 observational) com- prised 984 patients (LEVO [N = 727] and controls [N = 257]) met the inclusion criteria. LEVO was associated with improved New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (weighted mean difference [WMD] −1.04, 95%CI: ...
The primary exposure was incident heart failure which was diagnosed by attending physicians and ascertained by reviewing medical records according to the following criteria, (1) N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) > 125 pg/mL and, (2) evidence of heart failure from ...
(blood urea nitrogen <25 mg/dl, creatinine <1.5 mg/dl), and normal liver function (bilirubin <2 mg/dl).The exclusion criteria included the presence of secondary cancers; uncontrollable diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease; pregnant or lactating women; and liver or renal failure. ...
Diabetic kidney disease is an established risk factor for heart failure. However, the impact of incident heart failure on the subsequent risk of renal failure has not been systematically assessed in diabetic population. We sought to study the risk of pro
