- Objectives Rescreen a large community cohort to examine the progression to heart failure over time and the role of natriuretic peptide testing in screening. (bmj.com)
- The natriuretic peptide cut-off level for ruling out heart failure must be low enough to ensure cases are not missed at screening. (bmj.com)
Findings1
- Fudim presented the REBALANCE-HF findings October 8 at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. (medscape.com)
Parameters1
- The isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), left atrial area, E/E' and reverse longitudinal strain rate were found to be consistent and reproducible parameters to analyze diastolic properties in these haemodynamically different settings. (uni-goettingen.de)
