Universal Definition of Heart Failure Proposed

email article An international committee proposed a universal definition for heart failure (HF) and two standard classifications that go beyond reduced and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). HF is a clinical syndrome with symptoms and or signs caused by a structural and or functional cardiac abnormality and corroborated by elevated natriuretic peptide levels and or objective evidence of pulmonary or systemic congestion, according to the consensus document from the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), European Society of Cardiology, and Japanese Heart Failure Society. This is a slight difference from the definition of HF from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association: a complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.

Heart disease is in the eye of the beholder

 E-Mail In a new study from Shiley Eye Institute at UC San Diego Health, researchers have identified a potential new marker that shows cardiovascular disease may be present in a patient using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan a non-invasive diagnostic tool commonly used in ophthalmology and optometry clinics to create images of the retina. The finding suggests it may be possible to detect heart disease during an eye examination. In the paper published March 2, 2021 in EClinical Medicine by The Lancet, the research team examined lesions of the retina, the inner-most, light-sensitive layer of the eye, to determine if a cardiovascular disorder may be present.
