View Post 9 minute read This content is machine translated Evidence, pathophysiology and management in the light of current data Heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) Cardiology Education Radiology RX Studies In recent years, Heart Failure with Improved Ejection Fraction (HFimpEF) has developed into a clinical entity in its own right, which is being considered in an increasingly differentiated manner. With the growing number of available disease-modifying therapies, the number of patients whose systolic function recovers under guideline-compliant therapy is also increasing. The term HFimpEF covers the group that initially had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40% and increased to >40% under therapy, accompanied by clinical improvement. A recent study clearly defines that this is not a “cure”, but a form of remission with structural and molecular “memory” of the disease. This finding forms the starting point for a disease model that takes into…

But easier said than done. Conventional clinical, serological and imaging markers often lack sufficient sensitivity in the early stages of the disease, which limits their prognostic value. But there could be a new option: French researchers found evidence that C1M, a serum biomarker for type I collagen degradation, can help predict radiographic progression of early RA….
