In spite of recent initiatives, in particular, the introduction into clinical practice of donation after circulatory death (DCD), there is a persistent mismatch between the demand for donor hearts for transplantation and their supply \[1\].
This study is a prospective, multi-center, pivotal trial to study the safety and efficacy of the WiSE-CRT System for Cardiac Re-synchronization Therapy.
To investigate whether n3-fatty acids have beneficial effects in chronic heart failure as regards circulatory function.
The aim of this study is evaluate the effect of whey protein supplementation on muscle mass preservation, improvement of strength and quality of life, and inflammatory parameters in patients with heart failure NYHA I or II followed by a car
Beta-blockers improve clinical outcomes in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF); but not in those with preserved EF. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a prognostic factor independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (L

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 48 hours of glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) infusion can improve heart function and alter substrate metabolism in non-diabetic patients with heart failure.
The pulsatile pattern of the portal vein is considered a marker of right ventricular dysfunction, but volemia may also contribute to this phenomenon. The separate influence of each factor remains debated, as the interplay between right vent
The ICD Registry™ is a nationwide quality program that helps participating hospitals measure and improve care for patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices with defibrill
Recent medical guidelines for the management of heart failure (HF) have established a combination of specific classes of medications as the best treatment for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, stud

Approximately 40% of resynchronization therapy recipients do not appear to clearly benefit. These patients are termed 'non-responders'.
Effective chest compressions are essential to survival in an arrest patient receiving CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). A challenge in providing effective chest compressions is frequent interruption of compressions.
