Article Synopsis
- * Affected individuals typically experience more severe heart failure symptoms and poorer outcomes, influencing treatment choices based on how severe the dysfunction is.
- * Echocardiography is a key tool for evaluating left atrial function, and analyzing strain parameters can help identify early issues and guide prognosis and treatment strategies in HFpEF.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify why patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in Russia have a poor prognosis, using data from various population samples and medical records over several years.
- It established the prevalence of CHF in the Russian population, finding that 8.2% of individuals meet soft criteria for CHF, while 3.1% met strict criteria, with significant influences from conditions like hypertension and ischemic heart disease.
- The prognosis for these patients is grim, with over half dying within four years after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), and most patients with severe CHF not surviving beyond ten years, primarily due to inadequate medication use and poor patient follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The CHANCE study investigated the effects of a monitoring and education program for patients with chronic heart failure, comparing an intervention group (IG) receiving structured support to a control group (CG) receiving standard care.
- Results showed that the IG had significantly lower mortality rates (8.3%) compared to the CG (13.0%), and a relative risk of 0.68 for death, indicating the program's effectiveness in saving lives.
- Additionally, the IG exhibited better improvements in clinical condition, functional capabilities (as seen in the 6-minute walk test), and overall quality of life, with significant reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms over 12 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) impacts the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and to evaluate the real-world prescribing practices for CHF treatment based on GFR levels in the Tyumen region.
- In a review of 4,077 CHF patients from January 2020 to May 2023, it was found that 34.6% had a GFR of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m², with women being more affected. The risk of mortality was higher for patients with significantly lower GFR values.
- The analysis indicated a decline in the prescription rates of ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and mineral
The article presents a clinical case of heart failure associated with the anthracycline-containing antitumor therapy in a breast cancer patient with an initially low risk of developing cardiovascular complications.
