The sympathetic nervous system in heart failure physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical implications.

Nov 2009 Heart failure is a syndrome characterized initially by left ventricular dysfunction that triggers countermeasures aimed to restore cardiac output. These responses are compensatory at first but eventually become part of the disease process itself ... Read more...

Outcomes, health policy, and managed care: relationships between patient-reported outcome measures and clinical measures in outpatients with heart failure.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly used to assess the efficacy of new treatments. Understanding relationships between these and clinical measures can facilitate their interpretation. We examined associations between ... Read more...

Relationship of age and exercise performance in patients with heart failure: the HF-ACTION study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: More than three fourths of patients with heart failure (HF) are 65 years and older, and older age is associated with worse symptoms and prognoses than is younger age. Reduced exercise capacity is a chief HF complaint and indicates poorer ... Read more...
