Objective: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is fast becoming animportant public health issue. Nearly fifty percent of all heart cases are due to HFPEF.There many associated comorbidities has been this condition which maybe pathophysiologically related. There no specific treatment yet. The focus remains onsymptomatic along carefully managing the conditions.The present study...

BACKGROUND When advanced, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is readily apparent. However, diagnosis of earlier disease may be challenging because exertional dyspnea is not specific for heart failure, and biomarkers and hemodynamic indicators of volume overload may be absent at rest. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with exertional dyspnea and ejection fraction >50% were refer...

In older adults, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly associated with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and the high prevalence of this combination suggests that customized treatment is highly necessary in patients with COPD and HFrEF. To investigate whether the treatment of COPD with tiotropium, an anticholinergic bronchodilator, reduces the severity of ...

N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, C-reactive protein, and uri-nary albumin levels as predictors of mortality and cardiovascular events in older adults. impact of plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic pep-tide in severe chronic congestive heart failure: a substudy of the carvedilol prospective randomized cumulative survival (COPERNICUS) Studies of cardiopulmonary bypass in children: im...

Photobiomodulation is the use of visible and infrared light through emitting diodes - LED without thermal cytotoxic reactions.It was carried out a literature review with this studyto understand photobiomodulation applied to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD.It survey in January 2023, SciELO, Lilacs, Pubmed, Medline Google Scholar databases. With descriptors “Low-level therapy” AND “Chr...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine if brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are associated with exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Plasma levels of BNP are increased subject to the degree of systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic HF. Exercise testing is useful to assess functional capacity and progno...

Tissue Doppler Imaging has become an important prognostic marker that can be used in follow-up and determination of the prognosis in pulmonary hypertension patients. We compared the Tissue Doppler ima...

Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a common fibrotic interstitial lung disease. The prevalence of pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by right heart catheterisation and its cardiopulmonary function findings in patients with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis are unknown. Consecutive symptomatic patients with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis were prospectively evaluated. All patients wer...

INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-smokers has been an important concern in past decade. We studied the risk factors responsible for more severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Identifying them would help to work against progression to more severe disease as well as prevention. METHODS A prospective cross sectional study was done in outpatient clinic of Jinnah po...
