Chronic heart failure

Find all the latest content on chronic heart failure published on this website.

A complex condition, long-term management of chronic heart failure demands an understanding of the underlying causes and symptoms as well as the skills and knowledge to provide an effective treatment that can offer quality of life for the patient. To do this, acquaintance with the latest tools, assist devices and techniques, various biosensors or biomarkers and the different imaging modalities available is essential. These, along with subjects such as adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or bleeding risks, can be found here…

How have REVIVED (percutaneous revascularization for ischemic left ventricular dysfunction) results changed my practice?

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Mirvat Alasnag and Ajay Kirtane reflect on the REVIVED (percutaneous revascularization for ischemic left ventricular dysfunction) randomised trial 9 months after its release. They discuss how the unexpected results had an effect on their practice, and how results compare to those of the STICH trial.
