ElderlyPrimary Health CareObjectives: To explore the concordance and the feasibility of obtaining systolic or diastolic variables of left ventricular function in elderly patients with heart failure symptoms. Me
Method:The study included 412 elderly outpatients with symptoms of heart failure (HF). Echocardiography was used to determine their LVEF, and GPH was assessed by the first question on the SF-36. Results:The correlations between GPH and the different domains in SF-36 ranged from 0.33 to 0.64...

Furthermore, risk of heart failure (HF) in patients with T2D is up to 4 times higher than in patients without T2D [7,8,9,10,11]. Looking at sex differences, men are more often diagnosed with HF with reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction while women more often feature HF with preserved ...
To observe how cognitive behavioral intervention affects physical symptoms, B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), and C-reactive Protein (CRP) in elderly patients with heart failure. Convenient sampling method was used to s
Few longitudinal studies have investigated how distinct trajectories of depressive symptoms in older adults might be associated with differential clinical outcomes. The very large ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) trial enabled modeling of distinct trajectories of depressive symptoms in ...

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increases in hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke. The anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D may be the reason for this, and studies are on...
