Fluid and Salt Balance Are Things We Often Overlook: Could Our Understanding of Fluid Dynamics Change How We Tackle Heart failure?
Limiting intake may mitigate the need for such aggressive strategies that could prove detrimental to renal function, systemic blood pressures, and worsen extracardiac symptoms such as cramping or dizziness.
Healthcare Utilization and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Distribution in Methamphetamine Use Associated Heart Failure Hospitalizations
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38492945/
While the majority of MU-HF hospitalizations are HFrEF, a sizeable minority have HFpEF. This finding has implications for accurate MU-HF classification, treatment, and prognosis. Patients with MU-HF have low addiction...
Among veterans with methamphetamine use associated heart failure, post–hospital discharge methamphetamine use treatment engagement was low (18% at 30 days postdischarge), with higher follow-up in primary care (76% at 30 days).
Effects of the Valsartan Recall on Heart Failure Patients: a Nationwide Analysis

The valsartan recall did not affect short-term outcomes of heart failure patients. However, the recall potentially disrupted the medication regimens of patients, possibly straining the healthcare system.

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Findings From TOPCAT
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38307421/
A hsCRP ≥2 mg/L identified HFpEF patients with a high risk of HF events and cardiovascular mortality. Spironolactone did not influence hsCRP levels at 12 months.
A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level ≥2 mg/L was associated with an increased risk of CV death and HF-related hospital stay.
Greater perceived economic burden was associated with higher risk of 1-year all-cause mortality and worse health status but not with rehospitalization for heart failure.
