Background Systolic heart failure (HF) is a progressive medical condition requiring long-term care. Numerous medications and medical devices are available for the treatment of systolic HF. This study evaluated the current treatment patterns of systolic HF in the US. Methods This is a retrospective,...
Aldosterone antagonists for the treatment of systolic heart failure I disagree with this approach I will consider changing my practice, but need more information/time I will likely change my practice I will definitely change my practice I already do this ...
Treatment of patients with heart failure and CSA with ASV attenuates the magnitude of SNS activation.15 However, it is important to consider that the alteration in autonomic regulation, which occurs early during the course of heart failure, is selective, rather than generalized.16 This complex path...
Although the understanding and treatment of this disease has come quite a long way since this report, the untreated symptoms and effect they have upon patients suffering with this process remain unchanged. It is estimated that heart failure afflicts approximately 5 million people in the United State...

Treatment of patients with heart failure and CSA with ASV attenuates the magnitude of SNS activation.15 However, it is important to consider that the alteration in autonomic regulation, which occurs early during the course of heart failure, is selective, rather than gener- alized.16 This complex...
What is the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure? How does a heart pump blood if the person has a left ventricle myocardial infarction? What causes or leads to a heart attack? How cardiac output determines blood pressure? Explain the cause and treatment of aortic aneurysm. Systolic blood ...

Treatment with an aldosterone blocker was removed from the analysis due to the large amount of missing information (Online Table 1). Among the reasons for missing follow-up mentioned previously, two reasons are relevant to the results of this investigation. One reason is that patients might have...
