  2. 1. Heart failure : role of metabolic biomarkers, ejection fraction, and sex

    Author : Ulrika Ljung Faxén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is common and associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and poor prognosis. There is a ternary classification of HF based on ejection fraction (EF): HF with preserved(HFpEF), mid-range EF(HFmrEF), and reduced EF(HFrEF). READ MORE

  4. 2. Improved heart failure care organization including studies of diagnosis, risk prediction and biomarkers in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

    Author : Dmitri Matan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent condition with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality, and high societal costs. HF can be divided according to left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) into HF with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved EF (HFpEF). Diagnosis of HFpEF is more complex than for HFrEF. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomarkers for eligibility and surrogate endpoints in heart failure trials

    Author : Gianluigi Savarese; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: In heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), randomized controlled trials have provided effective treatments, but prognosis still remains poor. HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF) has no evidencebased therapy and represents a newly characterized and relevant population for future trials. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in primary care

    Author : Björn Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition associated with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality. It constitutes a diagnostic challenge and there is little evidence of effective treatments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Renal dysfunction in heart failure : insights on prevalence and prognosis

    Author : Ida Löfman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Kidney disease is common in heart failure (HF) and has been found to be associated with worse outcomes. The impact of different degrees of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in HF, as well as the link to, and impact of CKD in HF with reduced (HFrEF), the newly defined mid-range (HFmrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have been uncertain.
