Heart Failure

This heart failure channel offers news and new technology to treat heart failure. This includes for new innovations to treat congestive heart failure (CHF). The channel includes news on HFpEF and HFrEF. Heart failure occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump as much blood as the body requires. This can lead to enlargement of the heart because the muscle works harder to supply blood, but the pumping is ineffective. This may be due to defects in the myocardium, such as an infarct, or due to structural issues such as severe valve regurgitation. The disease is divided into four New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes. Stage IV heart failure is when the heart is completely failing and requires a heart transplant  or a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).

Individuals with coronary artery disease exist on a spectrum of disease, such as the amount of plaque build-up in the arteries of the heart; however, the disease is conventionally classified as broad categories of case (yes disease) or control (no disease), which may result in misdiagnosis. A digital marker for coronary artery disease derived from machine learning and electronic health records can better quantify where an individual falls on the disease spectrum. Credit: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Si

suPAR overexpression leads to increased atherosclerotic and necrotic plaques in a murine model of atherosclerosis. WT (n = 18) and suPARTg (n = 21) mice were maintained on a low-fat diet until 3 months of age and were then transfected with Pcsk9-AAV and fed a western diet (WD) for 10 weeks. At this point, aortic roots were obtained, paraffin embedded, and stained with H&E and Mac2 (galectin 3).
