Norton Score to Predict Mortality in Acute Heart Failure
The Norton scoring system was found to be a powerful predictor of both short- and long-term outcomes in patients with acute heart failure.
Heart Failure
Sleep Duration and CVD Risk
Only 65.2% of adults surveyed in United States in 2014 reported that they consistently get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
Heart Failure Linked to Highest Mortality Risk in Patients With Recent Type 2 Diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes have a greater risk for death after development of heart failure compared with other cardiovascular or renal diagnoses.
Upright Cheyne-Stokes Respiration Associated With Worse Outcomes, Higher Risk for Death in Heart Failure
Patients with heart failure who experience daytime upright Cheyne-Stokes respiration were found to have worse clinical outcomes and to be at increased risk for cardiac death.
Global Longitudinal Strain May Predict CV Events in HFpEF
Global longitudinal strain may be predictive of hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
