RELIEVE-HF failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoint and did not reduce heartfailure events or improve quality of life in heartfailure patients with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). For more information: www.corviamedical.com If you enjoy this content, please share it with a colleague

Guidelines recommend permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) to improve quality of life. Patients with heartfailure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have many comorbidities including SND, but the optimal treatment approach for HFpEF with SND is uncertain.
Abstract Introduction Emerging evidence suggests a beneficial effect of higher heart rates in some patients with heartfailure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). No evidence of heterogeneity was found across LV volumes or LVEF for pacemaker-detected AF burden.
BackgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction ≥50% is prevalent with few evidence‐based therapies. These changes were paralleled by improvements in heartfailure‐related quality of life (myPACE Minnesota Living with HeartFailure Questionnaire improved by 16.1 points,P<0.001).
Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heartfailure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Obesity was associated with more first and recurrent heartfailure events. Overall, 60.9% of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.
BACKGROUND:Despite advances in medical and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), individuals with chronic congestive heartfailure (CHF) have persistent symptoms, including exercise intolerance. Circulation, Ahead of Print. Mean arterial pressure was significantly lower during diastolic walking (85±12 versus 98±20 mm Hg;P=0.007).CONCLUSIONS:In
Arrhythmias : A leadless pacemaker-defibrillator system provides antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia in patients with subcutaneous ICDs. Coronary Heart Disease : Initiate beta-blockers in patients with acute MI and normal LVEF unless contraindicated or if they have heartfailure.
Today’s vlog is on the subject of heartfailure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heartfailure. What is heartfailure?
So she went back in 4 weeks and this time saw another doctor who asked her to stop the inhalers and suggested that it could be her heart and organised a chest X-ray and blood tests. Medications that improve quality of life in heartfailure for example include diuretics.
