Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with poor outcome in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and may be a therapeutic target. Our aims were to develop a noninvasive model for studying pulmonary vasoreactivity in CHF and characteriz...

Aims: Jugular venous distension is a classical sign of heart failure (HF) but it can be difficult to assess clinically. Methods and results: Outpatients with HF and control subjects were assessed. Internal jugular vein diameter ( JVD) was measured us... Read More about Prognostic significance of ultrasound-assessed jugular vein distensibility in heart failure.

Objectives: This study sought to characterize patients attending a community heart failure (HF) clinic and identified those who were eligible for optimization of beta-blockers (BB) or ivabradine. Background: Among patients with HF due to left ventric... Read More about Prescribing patterns to optimize heart rate.
