Distinct residual #congestion phenotypes carry different risks, From #PROTECT & #RELAX_AHF_2:
📍37% of #ADHF patients remain #congested at discharge
📍Intravascular residual congestion: best diuretic response, but still ⬆️mortality☠️ compared to decongested patients 
📍Tissue/combined residual congestion: poor diuretic response & highest risk⚠️ 📍Residual congestion assessment helps identify high-risk patients, & future studies should evaluate phenotype-guided strategies Read more #EJHF: doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.70091 @escardio @EJHFEiC @MarcoMetra @jozinetm @DukeHFDoc @AdriaanVoors @HFSA @EJHFEiC @Filippatos @GianluSava @WilfriedMullens #Decongestion #DiuresisJedi #GDMTworks #CardioX #CardioTwitter

Care involving a #heartfailure specialist during an admission for HF ➡️ increased rates of #GDMT, decreased diuretics, lower in-hospital and long-term mortality, especially in #HFrEF, although across all #LVEF. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jchf.… #JACCHF #GDMTworks @_antocannata

Despite the war, rockets and incessant alarms, we held earlier this week the first #MCS summit at @sheba_medical. Thank you @EvgenijPotapov and all colleagues that joined us at this meeting. Thanks to @jjmt_heartrecov for providing #impella simulator. @AbbottGlobal @fercherno

Our new findings from the largest national preventive healthcare screening program and cancer registry reveal that ASCVD is linked to a higher risk of metastasis at cancer diagnosis, especially in middle-aged adults. Read: bit.ly/3N7OYXr @JACCJournals @CallerTal

📌 After diagnosis of #HFrEF, continuous optimiz. of GDMT beyond day 90 till day 180 👉 assoc. w/ additional LVEF ⬆️ >35% in 46% of 👫 ‼️ therefore, evaluation of #ICD implantation should not be done before day 180 after diagnosis of HFrEF‼️ #HeartFailure @drjohnm @SeguraCardio

Pragmatic real-life RCTs with easy implementable cheap options to treat #heartfailure better by #HFAYoung is one fantastic way to move research forward. Kuddos to @EvelyneMeekers
Replying to @HanCardiomd
EASY-HF 📍Improved natriuresis & diuresis without increased adverse events in ADHF patients. 📍Bedside UNa sensor facilitates rapid diuretic adjustments by nurses, preferred over 24h UC. 📍Standardized protocol + UNa sensor allows personalized diuretic titration in first 48h. #HeartFailure2024 #ADHF #Diuretics #NursingHF

Analysis shows that initial declines in HF-related mortality from 1999 to 2012 have been entirely undone by subsequent reversals from 2012 to 2021, meaning that contemporary HF mortality rates are higher than in 1999. ja.ma/3UcwM23
