... Heart failure (HF) remains a significant clinical challenge due to its diverse aetiologies and complex pathophysiology. The molecular alterations specific to distinct cell types and histological patterns during HF progression are still poorly characterized. This study aimed to explore cell-type...

... Model ( https://dbpia.nl.go.kr/pages/standard-publication-reuse-rights ) Abstract Background Automated data extraction from echocardiography reports could facilitate large-scale registry creation and clinical surveillance of valvular heart diseases (VHD). We evaluated the performance of open-source...

This rise is paralleled by increases in pathological processes affecting organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, here termed...

... (CKM) overlap on physical function and prognosis in older patients with heart failure (HF) remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the impact of overlapping CKM conditions on physical function and prognosis in older patients with HF. Methods This post-hoc analysis of the FRAGILE-HF (main cohort...

... of HCM is being debated. Lay Summary We sought to examine exercise test findings in healthy athletes and equally fit individuals with a form of heart enlargement that commonly gets confused with ‘athlete’s heart’ called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) to see if elements of the exercise test could...

Methods and Results This RCT involved 194 eligible patients, randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group. The control group...

... medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) are interrelated, mutually exacerbating conditions. HF in patients with moderate to severe CKD poses unique clinical problems. Indeed, considerations related to specific concomitant...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a virtual, group-based heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback-enhanced coping skills intervention for youth with IBD. Treatment targets included symptoms of anxiety...

Objective Our purpose was to investigate whether some metrics derived from the heart sound energy map obtained by a wearable heart...

... Model ( https://dbpia.nl.go.kr/pages/standard-publication-reuse-rights ) Abstract Aim Prolonged ICU stays in heart failure patients are associated with poor prognosis and result in high medical expenses. To develop and validate a predictive model for prolonged ICU stays in heart failure patients...
