2. 21. Risk Factors and Predictors of Heart Failure: from Incidence to Prognosis

   Author : Constantinos Ergatoudes; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; prognosis; characteristics; risk factors; incidence; prediction;

   Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem affecting at least 26 million people worldwide and one of the leading causes of disability and death. Aims: To identify characteristics associated with improved or worsened prognosis in patients with established HF and to study factors associated with higher risk for the incidence of HF in the general population.

4. 22. Population-based analyses of incidence, prognostic determinants and outcome of aortic dissection

   Author : Christian Smedberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Aortic dissection (AD) is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by a tear in the innermost layer of the aortic wall, the intima, resulting in blood flow between the layers of the aortic vessel wall. Main risk factors are hypertension, male sex and smoking. READ MORE

5. 23. 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

   Abstract : Use of beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is established practice in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Clinical studies also suggest beneficial long-term effects of nitrates in CHF. READ MORE

7. 25. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in heart failure : exploring the gap between guideline-directed medical therapy and real-world practice

   Abstract : Heart failure is the possible end-result of a variety of different diseases, where ischemic heart disease and hypertension are the most common causes in high income countries. In Sweden, heart failure has a prevalence of 2% in the adult population and rises to over 10% among people over 70 years of age. The 5-year all-cause mortality is about 50%. READ MORE
