The prevalence of congestive heart failure is on the increase both in the United States and all over the world, and it is the leading cause of hospitalization in the elderly population. Congestive heart failure is a progressive disease generally seen in the elderly, which if not properly managed...
In congestive heart failure (CHF), a permanent βadrenergic stimulus is imposed on the heart by a compensatory activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which results in increased serum levels of norepinephrine.1 Since norepinephrine acts primarily on cardiac β1 adrenoceptors, there is a selecti...
Background: Intravenous inotropic intervention in congestive heart failure is generally associated with a poor prognosis and is largely used as a bridge to mechanical support or heart transplantation.Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the inotropic support afforded by dobutamine may serve as a bridge to ...

The prevalence and cost of congestive heart failure (HF) remain a common and serious problem in the community.1 Treatment of known risk HF risk factors [stage A HF (SAHF)], with more intensive targeting of its pre-clinical stages of asymptomatic LV damage [stage B HF (SBHF)] may be an...
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
Congestive heart failure is a growing problem in the Western world, which modern therapeutic options are doing little to ameliorate. Dynamic cardiomyoplasty may be one option which has great potential. This article reviews the use of skeletal muscle for circulatory assist and suggests that, with fu...
Forty-two percent of the patients had one or more life-threatening comorbidities, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, or a recent history of congestive heart failure. Of the first 75 patients who received LSG, no deaths occurred, and there was a mean 19-point ...
