Heart failure pharmacotherapy and cancer: pathways and pre-clinical/clinical evidence
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38441940/
Heart failure (HF) patients have a significantly higher risk of new-onset cancer and cancer-associated mortality, compared to subjects free of HF. While both the prevention and treatment of new-onset HF...
Guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure may influence cancer incidence and outcomes. Future research should refine HF treatment strategies in the context of coexisting cancer.

Antiarrhythmic Treatment in Heart Failure
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38224446/
In atrial fibrillation, rhythm control and ventricular rate control are accepted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, clinical trials have demonstrated a prognostic benefit of early rhythm control strategies and AF...
Antiarrhythmic therapy in HF requires a systematic, multimodal approach, integrating pharmacological, device, and interventional therapy for optimal outcomes.

Heart failure in nursing homes: A scoping review of educational interventions for optimising care provision
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38746815/
There is a paucity of evidence around educational interventions to support residents living with heart failure in nursing homes. However, available evidence suggests that educational interventions in nursing homes may...
There is a paucity of evidence around educational interventions to support residents living with heart failure in nursing homes. However, available evidence suggests that educational interventions in nursing homes may improve care through improving staff self-efficacy and confidence in providing care, heart failure knowledge and...

Diastolic Heart Failure Mechanisms and Assessment Revisited
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38892754/
The syndrome of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) makes up about half of the HF population. The HF mechanisms in these patients are varied and not fully...
Understand and address heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), highlighting its complex mechanisms and the urgency for early recognition and treatment to mitigate its progression and impact, particularly given its increasing prevalence in an aging population.

Full decongestion in acute heart failure therapy
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38880301/
Incomplete decongestion is the main cause of readmission in the early post-discharge period of a hospitalization for acute heart failure. Recent heart failure guidelines have highlighted initiation and rapid up-titration...
Achieving complete decongestion remains the primary therapeutic objective during hospitalization for heart failure, with early initiation and titration of quadruple therapy recommended to prevent readmissions for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
