Poor Outcomes With Systolic BP Below 120 mm Hg in HFpEF
Increased risk of heart failure readmission at 30 days; of mortality, combined end point at 30 days, one year
Heart Failure Guideline Adherence May Be Best Quality Measure
Higher hospital volume tied to better adherence, not better mortality, readmission outcomes
Ablation Better Than Medical Tx for A-Fib With Heart Failure
Catheter ablation significantly lowers death rate from any cause, hospitalization for worsening CHF
Hearing Loss Common Among Heart Failure Patients
But HF isn't independently tied to hearing loss after demographic, clinical characteristics accounted for
Biomarkers Help Identify CHF Patients Needing Med Titration
Using biomarkers to titrate CHF meds may better improve mortality vs. generic titration of all patients
Wearable Patch Can Assess Heart Failure States
Technology, with machine learning algorithms, analyzes cardiac response to submaximal exercise
Silent Myocardial Infarction Linked to Heart Failure Risk
Silent and clinically manifested MI both correlated with future risk of heart failure in adjusted models
Guidelines Developed for Optimizing Treatment of HFrEF
Consensus statement addresses 10 pivotal issues in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Abdominal Obesity Linked to All-Cause Mortality in HFpEF
Increased risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular mortality in patients with HFpEF
Higher β-Blocker Dose Linked to Lower Mortality Risk
Effect is larger in chronic heart failure patients with diabetes than CHF patients without diabetes
