2. Heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

   Right-sided heart failure is often caused by pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale), which is typically caused by issues with pulmonary circulation such as pulmonary hypertension or pulmonic stenosis. Physical examination may reveal pitting peripheral edema, ascites, liver enlargement, and spleen enlargement.

3. Management of heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_heart_failure

   Sleep apnea is an under-recognized risk factor for heart failure. Uncontrolled sleep apnea may increase the risk of heart failure by up to 140%. [4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

4. Cardiac resynchronization therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_resynchronization...

   Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT or CRT-P) is the insertion of electrodes in the left and right ventricles of the heart, as well as on occasion the right atrium, to treat heart failure by coordinating the function of the left and right ventricles via a pacemaker, a small device inserted into the anterior chest wall. [1]

5. Congestive hepatopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congestive_hepatopathy

   Treatments for heart failure include medications, an intra-aortic balloon pump, a ventricular assist device, heart valve replacements, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (if the heart failure worsens suddenly and especially if an infection was the cause), an artificial heart, or a heart transplant (from a deceased human donor, or from a pig ...

6. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

   Lifestyle changes include: eating less salty food as salt consumption leads to greater fluid retention by the body; smoking cessation; avoiding excessive alcohol consumption as alcohol reduces the force of heart contractions. Once right ventricular hypertrophy progresses to right ventricular failure, the treatment becomes that of heart failure.

7. Sacubitril/valsartan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacubitril/valsartan

   [10] [11] [18] To investigate its use for heart failure in those with a preserved LVEF (HFpEF), Novartis funded the PARAGON-HF trial which was designed to investigate the use of sacubitril/valsartan in the treatment of HFpEF patients with a LVEF of 45% or more. Concluding in 2019, it failed to show significance for reducing hospitalisation ...
