Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.

Machine learning approach to identify phenotypes in patients with ischaemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Finally, the reproducibility of the results of cluster analysis is tested in an external cohort (validation set). Aims Patients experiencing ischaemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) represent a diverse group.

Physiology Friday #196: Resistance Training and Heart Health

Physiologically Speaking

Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range. For adults with overweight and obesity, resistance exercise increases lean body mass and reduces body fat percentage and fat mass — improving overall body composition. It’s never too late to start — but the earlier you start the better.
