"A recent meta-analysis has suggested that nesiritide (NES), a new agent for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF), is associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality. We retrospectively [...]

Individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism ua mildly underactive thyroid only detectable by a blood test uare twice as likely to develop heart failure, compared to those with normal thyroid levels, according [...]

A simple exercise test may help predict mortality risk in patients with heart failure and help doctors to better tailor treatment strategies, according to new research from Wake Forest University [...]

Fasting glucose levels may independently predict the risk of being hospitalized with congestive heart failure in heart attack survivors and others who are at high risk of developing the disorder, [...]

Moderate alcohol use is associated with a lower risk of incident congestive heart failure among older adults. Researchers writing in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology report, "We [...]

Age, baseline renal function and serum sodium concentration, MAP, and intensity of diuretic therapy can identify individuals at risk for acute renal insufficiency while receiving diuretic therapy for congestive heart [...]

Having a relatively high blood pressure level at night may increase the risk for congestive heart failure, according to a study in a recent issue of Journal of the American [...]

In this community-based study spanning two decades, there appeared to have been no significant reduction in terms of the incidence and mortality risk of congestive heart failure following first atrial [...]

Hypertension and smoking are associated with reduced regional left ventricular function in asymptomatic individuals. Researchers in the United States report, "This study sought to test the hypothesis that reduced regional [...]

Several repolarization variables in postmenopausal women are predictors of the risk of incident congestive heart failure. Scientists in the United States report, 'Information is limited about ECG predictors of the [...]

The diabetes severity, and not the antidiabetic regimen, increases the risk of congestive heart failure in type 2 diabetic patients. "This study assesses the effect of the type of antidiabetic [...]

The development of insulin resistance increases a person's risk for development of congestive heart failure, according to new research from Uppsala University, Sweden. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major [...]

Researchers have investigated arterial stiffening as a possible risk factor for both atherosclerosis and diastolic heart failure. According to scientists in Japan, 'While arterial stiffness is known to be related [...]
