Coronary artery disease and prevention of heart failure

The Medical Clinics of North America
Liviu Klein, Mihai Gheorghiade

Abstract

Coronary artery disease is a major contributor to the progression of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure (HF). Recognizing that coronary artery disease is a leading cause of HF in the United States is critical to reducing mortality resulting from this condition. Although some patients may be candidates for mechanical revascularization to improve left ventricular function, all patients are candidates for aggressive secondary prevention strategies. This review discusses the prevalence of coronary artery disease, prognostic significance and pathophysiology, risk factor modifications, pharmacologic treatments, and the role of revascularization.

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
