Additionally, interventional echocardiography is increasingly utilized in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition marked by abnormal heart muscle thickening. ...
The patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion into two groups to receive either empagliflozin 10 mg per day (n = 2,997) or placebo (n = 2,991); in addition to usual therapy. [3] The patients were followed up with periodically for a median duration of 26.2 months to check symptoms, health status (assessed with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire), and adverse events. It ...
The Clinical CRISPR Successes Are Stacking Up. But Where’s the Emphasis on Quality Control? In mid-September, Intellia released some promising data on two of their CRISPR-based therapeutics. These results are a significant milestone for genome editing and validation of its effectiveness in the clinic. However, the safety of CRISPR-based therapeutics has been a major concern and part of a ...
Tab Lassiter once spent eight months resting anxiously in a hospital bed with cardiomyopathy, a condition that can lead to heart failure. Over a six-year period prior to his stay at Duke University Hospital, he experienced bouts with pneumonia, congestive heart failure, the failure of several heart pumping devices, two strokes and daily shortness of breath. ...
Atrial fibrillation remains a serious condition and if undetected and untreated, it can lead to complications such as heart failure, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and an increased risk of stroke, but early detection is important and can lead to improved management of the condition. ...

Early detection Common causes of AF are hypertension, cardiomyopathy, ischemia, and rheumatic heart disease and symptoms can include tiredness, shortness of breath, feeling faint, or chest pain. If undetected and untreated, it can lead to complications such as heart failure and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and critical cardiac ischaemia, and increased ...

Patients often develop this condition after their heart has been weakened or damaged by another cardiovascular condition, such as a heart attack, congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, hypertension or cardiomyopathy. While heart failure is often a long-term, chronic condition, for some patients the onset can be quite sudden. ...
What is Pediatric Cardiomyopathy? Cardiomyopathy involves abnormalities in the muscle fibers of the heart, which contract and relax each time the heart beats. ...
Excessive drinking can lead to heart failure, high blood pressure, or stroke. It can also contribute to cardiomyopathy—a disorder that affects the heart muscle. Alcohol is high in calories too. ...
In addition, ejection fraction improved, on average, from 31% to 39% over the same period. Additionally, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores rose by an average of about 30%, suggesting reducing the left ventricular volume resulted in improved quality of life and reduced heart failure symptoms. ...
Ejection fraction, a measure of blood flowing out of the left ventricle, improved on average from 31% to 39% over the same period. Additionally, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores increased by an average of 30%, suggesting reducing the left ventricular volume resulted in improved quality of life and reduced heart failure symptoms for this group. ...
The patient cohort included 22 enrolled patients aged 69.5±8.9 years, 82% were male, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 28.9±8.2, 18% had non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, 14% had prior cardiac surgery, and 91% were primary prevention patients. ...
The common diagnoses for which the ISSD was used included: non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (18 percent), prior cardiac surgery (14 percent), and primary prevention patients (91 percent). ...
