·Heart failure:also known as congestive heart failure, meaning the heart is not able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. This may happen because of a defect in the heart that prevents blood from getti...
Based on the prevalence of chronic diseases within the Australian population, we have particularly focused on the comorbidity progression of congestive heart failure (CHF) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. In this study, we propose a research framework to understand and represent the progression ...
Congestive heart failure is one of the single largest causes of death in industrialized countries. The severe syndrome of congestive heart failure involves shortness of breath (dyspenia), pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypertension and edema in the periphery.
