Because of this, the
early development of heart failure can signal a need to slow down and / or alter a patient's breast cancer treatment because of the risk for worsening the condition or the development of permanent heart failure.
Two blood markers are strongly linked with
the development of heart failure in individuals with mild to severe kidney disease, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
Elevations in these markers may indicate subclinical cardiovascular changes that subsequently contribute to
the development of heart failure.
By using this new genetic method, Mendelian randomization, in our research, we can now confirm what many people have long believed, that increased BMI contributes to
the development of heart failure.
This study assessed the relationship of salt intake and
the development of heart failure.
«It has long been known that inflammation and fibrosis are key conspirators in
the development of heart failure, but targeting these processes with drugs has remained a significant challenge,» added Haldar, who is also a practicing cardiologist and an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
«In our previous work, we found that a drug - like small molecule called JQ1 can prevent
the development of heart failure in mouse models when administered at the very onset of the disease.
Simoa assays can detect cardiac biomarkers, which are instrumental for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events,
development of heart failure or transition to end - stage kidney disease, earlier than ever before.
Dr. Fall concluded, «we can now confirm what many people have long believed, that increased BMI contributes to
the development of heart failure.»
ACE inhibitors include enalapril and are often given to help stave off
the development of heart failure.
Early identification of this disease will lead to earlier treatment and potentially prevention of
the development of heart failure.
