2. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure_with...

   Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat divided by the volume of blood when the left ventricle is maximally filled – is normal, defined as greater than 50%; [1] this may be measured by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization.

   Heart failure with recovered ejection fraction (HFrecovEF or HFrecEF): patients previously with HFrEF with complete normalization of left ventricular ejection (≥50%). [64] [65] Heart failure may also be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition, usually kept stable by the treatment of symptoms.

   In simplest terms, heart failure, or congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. There are four stages of heart failure. People in this ...

5. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

   In the case of diastolic dysfunction without systolic dysfunction, fluid resuscitation may, in fact, improve circulation by decreasing heart rate, which will allow the ventricles more time to fill. Even if the patient is edematous, fluid resuscitation may be the first line of treatment if the person's blood pressure is low.

6. Management of heart failure - Wikipedia

   Sleep apnea is an under-recognized risk factor for heart failure. Uncontrolled sleep apnea may increase the risk of heart failure by up to 140%. [4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

7. Istaroxime - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istaroxime

   Istaroxime is a treatment for both systolic and diastolic heart failure. [2] Systolic heart failure is characterized by impaired ventricular emptying, caused by reduced contractility. Diastolic dysfunction is defined by defective ventricular filling, caused by the heart's inability to properly relax between beats. [3]
