Book excerpt: Le traitement de référence de l'insuffisance cardiaque avancée, la transplantation cardiaque, est conditionné par le faible nombre de greffons. Cette étude a pour but d'évaluer l'intérêt de la classification de Forrester et de préciser quelle évaluation de la congestion entre pulmonaire et systémique a la meilleure valeur prédictive d'évènements cardio-rénaux sur liste d'attente de transplantation. 100 patients (54 ans, 72% d'hommes) ayant bénéficié d'un cathétérisme cardiaque droit (KTD) inscrits dans notre centre pour une transplantation cardiaque entre 2014 et 2019 ont été étudiés. Les mesures du KTD ont été obtenues au moment de l'inscription sur liste de transplantation. Les patients ont été classés en fonction de leur perfusion et congestion (pulmonaire et systémique) telle que la classification de Forrester, en quatre groupes "Warm & Dry", "Warm & Wet", "Cold & Dry" et "Cold & Wet". "pWet" a été utilisé pour définir les patients avec une congestion pulmonaire et "sWet" ceux avec une congestion systémique Le critère de jugement principal est le taux du critère composite avec choc cardiogénique, insuffisance cardiaque aigue et insuffisance rénale aigue. Le critère de jugement secondaire est l'incidence de décès sur liste, implantation d'assistance mécanique ou transplantation cardiaque en urgence à 12 mois, évalué par courbe de Kaplan-Meier et test log-Rank. Seule la classification de Forrester évaluée par la congestion systémique est associée au critère de jugement principal (p=0.011) alors que les profils évalués par la congestion pulmonaire ne le sont pas (p=0.331). De même, seule la classification de Forrester évaluée par la congestion systémique prédit les décès sur liste, l'implantation d'une assistance mécanique ou transplantation en urgence à 12 mois, p=0.010 et p=0.189 pour la congestion systémique et pulmonaire respectivement. De plus, la congestion est le déterminant principal des évènements cardio-rénaux sur liste. La classification de Forrester évaluée par la congestion systémique est associée aux évènements cardio-rénaux chez les patients inscrits sur liste de transplantation cardiaque, et au risque de décès, implantation d'une assistance mécanique ou transplantation en urgence.

Download or read book Heart Failure written by Stuart Katz MD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical practice consensus guidelines for management of heart failure are available from the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology, Heart Failure Society of America, Canadian Cardiovascular Society, and European Society of Cardiology. The guidelines from these organizations, based on evidence from clinical trials and expert agreement, are largely concordant and provide useful information for practitioners. Yet, the organization of the guidelines may confound efforts by a practitioner to determine which specific intervention, or combination of interventions, are most appropriate for an individual patient. As part of the Oxford American Cardiology Library, Heart Failure utilizes the staging of heart failure proposed by the ACC/AHA guidelines as a framework to develop a systematic approach for diagnosis and treatment across a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. Each chapter addresses a different stage in the progression of heart failure and provides a patient-centered description of the appropriate diagnostic and treatment options for that setting. Each chapter also incorporates discussion of the diagnosis and treatment options for both low ejection fraction heart failure patients and preserved ejection fraction heart failure patients, of which the latter group comprises at least 50% of all heart failure cases in clinical practice. Heart Failure restructures the information in the clinical guidelines to a format that is more accessible and clinically useful to practitioners.

Download or read book Acute and Chronic Heart Failure written by Wulf-Dirk Bussmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Withering demonstrated 200 years ago in the year 1784 that "drop sy" could be successfully treated with foxglove extracts. This dis covery eventually led to the scientifically based treatment of heart failure with chemically defined digitalis glycosides. In Germany, particularly, the usefulness of this development was greatly exagger ated and often resulted in the indiscrimate use of digitalis for pa tients with coronary artery disease and its complications. Today, this type of drug intervention is used more sparingly. At the same time, other therapeutic concepts were introduced, particularly that of drug-induced diuresis and the concept of vasodilation. This book is the result of a systematic study of various therapeu tic approaches for the management of heart failure and includes clinical, experimental and theoretical aspects. For more than a de cade, various therapeutic modalities have been clinically evaluated in the setting of acute heart failure managed in the intensive care unit as well as chronic heart failure for inpatient and outpatient therapy. Experience has shown that in certain clinical situations, particu larly the management of acute disease, specific, individual drug in tervention is required and is based on the underlying etiology for heart failure. However, in chronic heart failure, long-term success can only be achieved by the rational combination of treatment mo dalities. The present text is aimed at providing the clinically and scientif ically oriented physician with the pathophysiologic and pharmaco logic background necessary to place into perspective the therapeutic efforts for the management of heart failure.

Download or read book Current Approach to Heart Failure written by Maria Dorobanţu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to be a link between guidelines and clinical practice, a complementary tool to help physicians to be well informed regarding the important field of heart failure. It will be a useful tool for professionals from all the fields of cardiology: non-invasive cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and cardiovascular imaging. The topic of heart failure is continuously changing, with new important information being added constantly. The pathophysiology is better understood and there is a trend for a better characterization of special groups of population, such as oncologic patients with heart failure. The new imaging techniques have become valuable tools for the diagnosis of heart failure, while pharmacological and novel cell and gene treatments have evolved enormously. The challenge for the practitioners is making the right selection of treatment strategy that best fits a patient. This book presents detailed information on the indications, selection and mechanism of action of these treatments, whether they be mechanical circulatory devices or pharmacological treatments. The contemporary pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of heart failure has the main target of early prevention of disease progression and the avoidance of heart transplant. In the era of shortage of donors, prevention is the mainstay of the therapeutic strategy, and this is the main philosophy of our book.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Heart Failure in Older People written by Chris Ward and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart failure is effectively a disease of older people. Eighty percent of patients are over 65 years old, and the majority of these are over 75. This figure is likely to increase significantly in the next two decades. The prognosis is worse than that of most cancers and heart failure is the commonest reason for hospital admission in the over 65s. The problems associated with treating heart failure in older patients are more diverse and complex than in those who are younger. The diagnosis in older patients is easily overlooked and as they were excluded from most heart failure treatment trials there has been a reluctance to treat them optimally (fewer than 20% are prescribed conventional medicines). They have multiple co-morbidities which are poorly managed, they are repeatedly hospitalised, and suffer social isolation. These important age-related treatment and management problems have been largely ignored and this book aims to redress the balance. It provides a concise, comprehensive account of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, management and end-of-life care of elderly patients with heart failure, based on published studies. A Practical Guide to Heart Failure in Older People is essential reading for geriatricians, cardiologists, general hospital physicians, family practitioners and specialist nurses. • Specifically addresses the particular needs of the elderly, a largely ignored group who constitute the majority of patients with heart failure • Presents a concise yet comprehensive account of the evidence relating to the diagnosis, treatment and management of heart failure in this population • Improves awareness of the various roles within the management team

This book was released on 2012-04-28 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the joint American College of Cardiology /American Heart Association classification system, Stage B heart failure refers to patients with structural heart disease but no symptoms of heart failure. Preventing progression of heart failure in Stage B patients is a central concern to heart failure specialists, so two issues have been devoted to this topic. Part II focuses on screening to identify patients with Stage B HF and monitoring and therapeutic approaches to patients with a diagnosis of Stage B HF.
