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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Among patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), those taking a “polypill” combination of three medications typically prescribed for heart failure, once daily for six months, ...

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 ...
