Systems Biology Applied to Heart Failure With Normal Ejection Fraction
Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is currently the most prevalent clinical phenotype of heart failure. However, the treatments available have shown no reduction in mortality so far. Advances in the omics sciences and techniques of high data processing used in molecular biology have enabled the development of an integrating approach to HFNEF based on systems biology. This study...
متن کاملEmerging Drug Therapies for Heart Failure
Heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is proving to be an economic burden in developing countries. A number of therapeutic agents are presently employed in heart failure; but they are not sufficient to control symptoms of heart failure. Moreover, the prevalence of chronic heart failure is progressively increasing and thus there is a continuing need to develop effecti...
متن کاملStochastic Process Algebras Applied to Failure Modelling
In the past we concentrated on the conceptual design and theoretical foundation of stochastic process algebras and applied this promising method mainly to the performance evaluation of multiprocessor and distributed systems. Nevertheless, we demonstrated at the READPAC– Workshop in principle and by an example how to apply these ideas to the description of reliability aspects. Our current versio...
متن کاملAlternating decision tree applied to risk assessment of heart failure patients
About 50% of the patients diagnosed with heart failure die within four years. At the same time, a rise in home telemonitoring of these patients can be observed. For its successful deployment, predicting if a heart failure patient could die within a certain period of time is an important task. An investigation of an alternating decision tree employed for this type of prediction is presented here...
متن کاملHypertrophy-associated polymorphisms ascertained in a founder cohort applied to heart failure risk and mortality.
A three-stage approach was undertaken using genome-wide, case-control, and case-only association studies to identify genetic variants associated with heart failure mortality. In an Amish founder population (n = 851), cardiac hypertrophy, a trait integral to the adaptive response to failure, was found to be heritable (h² = 0.28, p = 0.0002) and GWAS revealed 21 candidate hypertrophy SNPs. In a c...
