Abstract Diagnosing heart failure is often difficult due to the non-specific nature of symptoms, which can be caused by a range of medical conditions. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been recognized as important biomarkers for diagnosing heart failure. Use of this acronym would enable the early diagnosis of heart failure.

Decline in exercise ability is a hallmark of progression to overt heart failure. These results also speak to the importance of continuing to focus on earlier recognition of heart failure risk in patients with diabetes and on initiating treatment before the condition has progressed to overt heart failure.”

ABSTRACT Aims The aim of this analysis was to provide data on the overall comorbidity burden, both cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV, in a large real-world heart failure (HF) population across the ejection fraction (EF). All comorbidities, except for coronary artery disease (CAD), were more frequent in HF with preserved EF (HFpEF).

Cardiac amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease that results from the accumulation of abnormal proteins within the heart, impairing its ability to pump blood. Over time, the build-up of these proteins causes the heart muscle to stiffen, eventually leading to heart failure, which can have dire outcomes if not found early.
