Revascularization of #CAD in #HeartFailure: who, when, & how? This #EJHF Expert Consensus Statement proposes a practical, symptom-based approach: 📍Start with the symptoms: are they predominantly HF-related or angina-related?
📍Optimize GDMT first in all patients with HF, & also assess for eligibility for CRT +/- invasive procedures (eg M-TEER, VAD)
📍Persistent angina despite GDMT? Consider revascularization, with assessment of coronary anatomy, ischaemia & viability where appropriate.
📍CABG or PCI? Consider surgical risk & coronary complexity, with PCI an option in patients at higher surgical risk or with less complex coronary disease.
📍Heart Team discussion is key to individualized decision-making. 📖 Read the full paper: doi.org/10.1093/ejhf/xuag230 @EJHFEiC @escardio #HFA_ESC

Really grateful to @mariecurieuk @RBHCharity and @LDShospcharity for funding our proposal to improve the delivery of care for people living with heart failure within the last year of life You can find out more here: mariecurie.org.uk/research-a… @UoL_LICAMM @LeedsBRC @cardiorespLTHT

Research Grants Scheme: improving hospital experiences

Marie Curie's call for research focused on improving the quality of care and discharge processes in hospitals for people at the end of life.

@MarieCurieEOLCJul 14
🏥Announcing six new research projects aiming to improve end of life experiences in, and on discharge from, hospital. Hospitals are extraordinary centres of clinical expertise. But they were never designed to provide the calm, highly personal support that people deserve at the end of life. The new projects, some of which are funded in partnership with @LDShospcharity and @RBHCharity, aim to address a range of issues. These include improving discharge processes and communication from hospital to community, identifying the need for and providing condition-specific palliative care in a timely manner, and exploring the impact of palliative care In-Reach services in emergency departments.

In pts w/ #HFrEF, having concurrent T2DM further worsens their prognosis. Read about a potential mechanism in #JACCBTS where Dr. @OllyBrown, et al show endothelial cells from subQ fat of HF+DM patients drive a pro-inflammatory adipocyte phenotype. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacbt… #T2D

🫀Is there a “non-obese” #HFpEF phenotype? At #HeartFailure26, Prof. @MarcoMetra discussed how obesity/adiposity is a major driver of HFpEF through inflammation, altered adipokines, but not all HFpEF patients are obese Potential drivers of non-obese HFpEF: - Hypertension & LVH - Coronary microvascular dysfunction - AF & atrial disease - Pulmonary vascular disease @escardio @WilfriedMullens @HFA_President
