The study was conducted at one dialysis clinic in a regional hospital in Taiwan. All routine hemodialysis patients in this hospital were included except 6 patients refusing ABI-form device ...

Coarctation patients are reported to have enhanced cardiac performance in the remote post-operative period. We examined data from coarctation patients (N=22) studied both before (mean 1.7 mo.) and ...

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, but their effects in patients with heart ...

An international team of researchers has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a serious condition in need of effective ...

Ejection fraction refers to how much blood the heart pumps out during a contraction. An abnormal ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Some people might need treatment to improve their ...

In patients with type 2 diabetes, inhibitors of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) reduce the risk of a first hospitalization for heart failure, possibly through glucose-independent mechanisms.

It is important that all adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction are given all appropriate medications at an optimal tolerated dose to best manage their condition and provide ...

Duke-NUS scientists and their collaborators have discovered a potential new treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a type of heart disease that is notoriously difficult ...
