Physician-scientists from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine recently conducted a large-scale analysis to assess the impact of a newly introduced equation ...

Previous studies have shown that yoga therapy and lifestyle modifications have improved heart failure patients' quality of life and enhanced their cardiovascular function. A new study, presented at ...

Following the course of lung function in treatment-naïve patients, researchers found that lung function decline does not accelerate prior to mechanical ventilation. Patterns in the decline of lung ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome characterised by the heart’s inability to maintain adequate circulation, leading to systemic and cerebral hypoperfusion. Cognitive impairment is ...

The symptoms of kidney disease, such as fatigue, swelling, and changes in urine output, can easily be mistaken for other ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A polypill that combines three of the four mainstays of treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction improved cardiac function and reduced the risks for serious medical ...

Current models of mortality risk after heart failure (HF) rely primarily on cardiac-specific clinical variables and may underestimate risk in elderly East Asian patients. Researchers from Japan used ...

Heart failure frequently coexists with significant pulmonary abnormalities that arise from elevated cardiac pressures and neurohumoral activation. Increased pulmonary capillary pressure promotes ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One third of patients develop heart failure as a result ⎯ a condition that impacts 6.8 million Americans and carries a high ...
