1. Prognostic and diagnostic value of tissue Doppler in patients with systolic heart failure
Abstract : Heart failure (HF) is a condition where the heart fails to meet the need of delivery of oxygen and energy to the tissues. In spite of advances in the recent decades, the prognosis is still serious with a mortality risk comparable to severe cancer. The most common heart imaging method today is ultrasound of the heart, or echocardiography. READ MORE

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

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

4. Nitrates and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
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

5. Exercise physiology and cardiac function. Aspects on determinants of maximal oxygen uptake
Abstract : Although the athlete's heart has been of interest for over 100 years, further characterization of the athletes heart is needed in order to understand how training affects cardiac dimensions and function. Few studies have investigated the effects of training in female athletes and few have compared males and females. READ MORE
