Overview What is HFpEF? Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, despite normal or near-normal LV ejection fraction (EF). Most patients with HFpEF also display normal LV volumes and an abnormal diastolic filling pattern (i.e, diastolic ...
While heart attack, cardiac arrest and heart failure can sometimes be related, they’re actually three very different types of cardiac emergencies. Cardiac arrest, heart attack and heart failure — ...
Annotations Acute kidney injury (AKI) is recognized as a potential risk factor for future cardiovascular events, especially heart failure. Up to 60% of patients with severe AKI who are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) die; the long-term risk of death associated with AKI is also increased. Preclinical models and biomarkers have identified several likely pathways, apparently involving ...
InvivoSciences, Inc. is collaborating with Drs. Elson and Qian to establish a novel mathematical model to understand the development of cardiac fibrosis during heart failure. The model will be used to identify and validate new therapeutic targets to prevent, slow, or reverse cardiac fibrosis. ...
