"How is spironolactone beneficial in heart failure? It prevents cardiac hypertrophy and that's why it reduces mortality."
"Heart failure is present when, in the presence of normal or above-normal filling pressures, the heart is unable to maintain enough output to meet the minimum metabolic needs of the peripheral tissues."
"Heart failure is a clinical pathological syndrome characterized by failure of the heart to generate enough cardiac output to meet the minimum metabolic needs of the body tissues, in spite of normal or above-normal filling pressures."

"Successful management of heart failure starts with lifestyle modification."
"These are all signs of advanced heart failure."
"Heart failure is a clinical syndrome where the heart fails to meet you to pump out enough blood to meet the body's requirements."
"Patients who have heart failure will generally not have as good a quality of life as patients who don't have heart failure."
"Patients will complain of breathlessness when lying flat and they will complain of Prof edema which gets worse as the heart failure status gets worse."
"I'm very excited to tell you of a new set of medications called sglt2 Inhibitors that have actually for the first time been shown to improve prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction."
"So let's touch bases a little bit on the pathophysiology of heart failure. And this is a super simplistic view, but just to put it in perspective, so what is HefRef? Well, HefRef is a disease where there is a loss of contractual function."
"Almost 50 percent of heart failure patients have normal systolic function, making diastolic assessment crucial."
"A major clinical sign of the heart not being able to pump enough blood forward to the body is that the blood starts to back up into the lungs."

"We all clinically see when we manage without a heart failure patients that creatinine's get better with diuresis."
"We have developed a whole host of medications for heart failure which have had dramatic effects on quality of life, on morbidity or mortality."
"Heart failure means the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs."
"We treat myocarditis symptomatically, and generally those symptoms tend to be congestive heart failure symptoms."
"Patients with repeated hospitalization, progressive deterioration of end organ function... these are the patients who should be referred to advanced heart failure transplant program."
"50 percent of heart failure patients are iron deficient."
"S3 sounds... that indicates ventricular failure which can be life-threatening."
"Usually, the patient has left-sided heart failure, and it develops into right-sided, so the whole heart fails, but usually, it starts at the left."
"The overall effect is to increase cardiac output, which may relieve symptoms of heart failure in some people."
