Background The ability to predict risk allows healthcare providers to propose which patients
might benefit most from certain therapies, and is relevant to payers' demands to justify …

Left atrial (LA) structure and function in heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) versus preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF) is only established in small studies. Therefore, we conducted a …

Aims Residual pulmonary congestion at discharge is associated with poor prognosis in
heart failure (HF), but its quantification through physical examination is challenging …

Background—In heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction, right ventricular (RV)
impairment, as defined by reduced tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, is a predictor …

Background Left atrial (LA) volume is a marker of cardiac remodeling and prognosis in heart
failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF), but LA function is rarely measured or …

In past cardiovascular medicine, the attention to the left ventricle-identified as the only
indicator and determinant of healthy or unhealthy cardiac conditions-has systematically …

Background Previous studies and case-series showed improvement in left ventricular (LV)
function and reverse remodeling after sacubitril/valsartan therapy in real-world studies. We …

Background Chronic heart failure (CHF) has been remained a leading cause of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortaluty. The risk stratification of CHF individuals based on …

Pulmonary congestion assessed at discharge by lung ultrasonography predicts poor
prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients. We investigated the association of B-lines with …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic role of red cell distribution width (RDW)
in a broad population of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). In a retrospective …
