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…

Prospective concurrent head-to head comparison of three different types of nitinol occluder device for transcatheter closure of secundum ASD

08 Aug 2019

Previous comparisons between AMPLATZER septal occluders and other designs were retrospective, non-randomised, non-concurrent and involved fewer patients... A prospective concurrent head-to-head comparison of AMPLATZER (ASO), Cera (CSO) and Figulla (FSO) septal occluders was planned to study the patient outcomes.
