A voice analysis app used by heart failure patients at home recognises fluid in the lungs three weeks before an unplanned hospitalisation or escalation in outpatient drug treatment. The research was presented at Heart Failure 2022. In patients with heart failure, the heart does not pump blood around the body as well as it should. As a result, fluid...Read more

Findings from a new study published in ESC Heart Failure show that around 10% of new coronary heart disease cases occurring within a decade of middle age could be avoided by preventing iron deficiency. While the study does not conclude that iron deficiency causes heart disease, it provides further evidence that there is a link between the two and...Read more

In a Hot Line Session at the ESC Congress 2021, the results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial were presented that demonstrated a significant reduction in composite cardiovascular endpoints in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. This was a pooled analysis of two randomised trials that investigated the beneficial effects of...Read more

According to findings from a study published in the British Journal of Medicine, the development of valvular heart disease in patients with chronic heart failure is underestimated and rarely treated. In the past, mitral regurgitation has been interpreted as part of the progression of heart failure rather than a treatable disease in its own right....Read more

Even with regular physical activity, older women (ages 50-79) who spend more waking hours in sedentary behaviors, such as sitting or lying down, have an increased risk of heart failure serious enough to require hospitalisation, according to new research. To determine if increased sedentary time raised the risk of increased heart failure in older...Read more
