This study compared two different heart ablation techniques for people who have both atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and heart failure. Researchers looked back at medical records from 700 patients to see if a newer technique called pulsed-field ablation works as well…

This study tested if combining four common heart failure medications into a single daily capsule helps patients take their medicine more consistently. Researchers worked with 35 adults who have a specific type of heart failure, including some who also have HIV, to see if this 'po…

This early-stage study tested a new oral medication called AC01 in people with chronic heart failure where the heart pumps weakly. The main goals were to check if the drug was safe and to see how the body processes it. Researchers also looked for early signs that the drug might i…

This study tested different support systems to help doctors better prescribe proven heart failure medications. Over 4,300 patients with weakened heart function participated across multiple clinics. Researchers compared usual care against computer alerts and pharmacist support to …

This study tested whether a new drug called tovinontrine could help control chronic heart failure. It involved 557 adults with a weakened heart pump who were already on standard treatments. Researchers compared the drug to a placebo over 12 weeks, looking at changes in key blood …

This study looked at whether a type of diabetes medication could help people with severe heart failure who have a mechanical heart pump (LVAD). Researchers wanted to see if the drug could reduce fluid buildup and strain on the heart, potentially leading to fewer hospital readmiss…

This study looked back at the medical records of over 13,600 heart failure patients in France from 2021 to 2024. It tracked how often doctors prescribed a specific type of medication called SGLT2 inhibitors. The goal was to understand prescription trends and what factors influenc…
