Management of Heart Failure in a Resource-Limited Setting: Expert Opinion from India
AbstractHeart failure poses a global health challenge affecting millions of individuals, and access to guideline-directed medical therapy is often limited. This limitation is frequently attributed to factors such as drug availability, slow adoption, clinical inertia, and delayed diagnosis. Despite international recommendations promoting the use of guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure management, personalized approaches are essential in settings with resource constraints. In India, crucial treatments like angiotensin II receptor blocker neprilysin inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors are...

48. Heart Failure and Impaired Cognitive Function: Findings From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
The relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment has not been clearly delineated. The primary objective of this analysis was to determine whether patients with heart failure have greater cognitive impairment compared with those without heart failure, using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey continuous dataset (n=111,797) from 1999 to 2021.

The Evolution of Telehealth in Heart Failure Management: The Role of Large Language Models and HerzMobil as a Potential Use Case
This study examines the integration of LLMs in heart failure management, with a focus on HerzMobil as a pioneering telehealth program. The technical underpinnings of LLMs, their current applications in the medical field, and their potential to enhance telehealth services, have been explored. The paper highlights the benefits of LLMs in patient interaction, clinical documentation, and decision-making processes. Through the HerzMobil case study, improvements in patient self-management and reductions in hospital readmission rates have been observed, showcasing the successful application of telehealth in chronic disease manage...

Cellular Senescence as a Targetable Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Diseases: Therapeutic Implications: < em > JACC < /em > Family Series
JACC Basic Transl Sci. 2024 Apr 8;9(4):522-534. doi: 10.1016/j.jacbts.2023.12.003. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of cardiovascular diseases markedly rises with age. Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, is characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest and the manifestation of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which has emerged as a significant contributor to aging, mortality, and a spectrum of chronic ailments. An increasing body of preclinical and clinical research has established connections between senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, and age-related cardiac and vascular ...
