Background Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death globally and represent a major economic burden on health care systems. Positive effects of disease management programs have been shown for patients with heart failure (HF). Remote monitoring and telemonitoring with active intervention are beneficial in atrial fibrillation (AF) and therapy-resistant hypertension (TRH), respectively. For...
Background The only subgroups of patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation in which the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy has been scientifically proven are patients with indications for right ventricular pacing and patients after atrioventricular junction ablation. However it is unlikely that atrioventricular junction ablation would be a standard procedure in the majority of...
Despite a vast body of research on antithrombotic therapy for patients with cardiac disease, there are few clinical settings where robust evidence of their benefit exists. Patients with heart failure often have vascular disease and atrial fibrillation contributing to their poor prognosis. For patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants are appropriate. For patients with heart...
