Infection as an under-recognized precipitant of acute heart failure ...
Infection has been identified as a common, though under-recognized, precipitating factor of acute heart failure (AHF), which can cause rapid development or deterioration of HF signs and symptoms.
Infection-Related Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Reduced ...
May 1, 2020 · Hospitalization is a common adverse event in people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, yet is often not primarily due to decompensated heart failure (HF). We investigated the long-term prognosis following infection-related hospitalization.
Predictors of infection-related rehospitalization in heart failure ...
Jun 22, 2020 · Infection is the most common non-cardiovascular cause of re-hospitalizations for heart failure patients. We therefore investigated the predictors of infection-related re-hospitalization (IRRH) in heart failure patients and its impact on long-term survival.
Impact of infection-related admission in patients with heart failure…
Apr 28, 2023 · Infection is a common cause of hospitalization in patients with heart failure (HF). The impact of infection on long term cardiovascular outcome in HF is not well studied. The aim of this study was to compare the long term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in HF patients with or with …
Viruses in the Heart: Direct and Indirect Routes to Myocarditis and ...
Viruses are an underappreciated cause of heart failure. Indeed, several types of viral infections carry cardiovascular risks. Understanding shared and unique mechanisms by which each virus compromises heart function is critical to inform on therapeutic interventions.
Newly Diagnosed Infection After Admission for Acute Heart Failure…
Nov 3, 2021 · Infection is a common precipitating factor for hospitalization and is associated with increased mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). 1 Patients admitted with decompensated HF and those with a concurrent infection are at a higher risk of in‐hospital mortality. 2 In addition, newly developed infections after admission for acute HF (AHF) ...
Inflammation in heart failure: pathophysiology and therapeutic ...
Inflammation contributes to the development of HF across the EF spectrum and, through an array of mechanisms, HF itself promotes a chronic inflammatory state, two interconnected, and bidirectional processes.
Impact of Pneumonia in Heart Failure Patients∗ | Journal of the ...
Apr 1, 2021 · Previous studies have shown that infection is a common cause of hospitalization in patients with heart failure, and pneumonia is associated with increased risk of mortality in patients who are hospitalized (2, 3). Pneumonia can also contribute to the development of heart failure.
Infection as an under-recognized precipitant of acute heart failure ...
Infection has been identified as a common, though under-recognized, precipitating factor of acute heart failure (AHF), which can cause rapid development or deterioration of HF signs and symptoms. Available evidence indicates that infection-related hospitalizations of patients with AHF are associated with higher mortality, protracted length of ...
Chronic Heart Failure and Inflammation | Circulation Research
We discuss the different causes that lead to chronic HF development and how the sum of initial inflammatory and reparative responses only sets the trajectory for disease progression.
