121. CNN.com - Health - Pacemakers Found To Help Heart Failure Patients - March 20, 2
     http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/03/20/pacemaker.heart/index.html
     
     Extractions: CNN Medical Unit ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) A pacemaker device could help up to half of all heart failure patients live a more active life, researchers told the American College of Cardiology Tuesday. "The device was shown to markedly improve patient's quality of life and their functional capacity, and by functional capacity I mean that they were able to exercise longer and they were able to perform more of their activities of daily living," said lead researcher Dr. William Abraham of the University of Kentucky. Heart failure is the most rapidly growing form of heart disease in the United States. Some 5 million people have it and as many as 700,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. When medications and surgeries and procedures like angioplasty no longer work, the only other course of action has been a heart transplant. But results from a study on 500 patients indicate pacemakers may offer another treatment option.

     Extractions: Subscribe now >> Heart failure occurs when the heart loses its ability to pump enough blood through the body. Usually, the loss in pumping action is a symptom of an underlying heart problem, such as coronary artery disease. The term heart failure suggests a sudden and complete stop of heart activity. But, actually, the heart does not suddenly stop. Rather, heart failure usually develops slowly, often over years, as the heart gradually loses its pumping ability and works less efficiently. Some people may not become aware of their condition until symptoms appear years after their heart began its decline. How serious the condition is depends on how much pumping capacity the heart has lost. Nearly everyone loses some pumping capacity as he or she ages. But the loss is significantly more in heart failure and often results from a heart attack or other disease that damages the heart. The severity of the condition determines the impact it has on a person's life. At one end of the spectrum, the mild form of heart failure may have little effect on a person's life; at the other end, severe heart failure can interfere with even simple activities and prove fatal. Between those extremes, treatment often helps people lead full lives.

Source: Mayo Clinic WASHINGTON (Reuters) Cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, which greatly reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, may also help keep patients with heart failure alive even if they do not have high cholesterol, new research suggests. Heart failure patients who took statins were 55 percent less likely to die during the year after they were prescribed the drugs than patients who did not get them, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.

The program aimed to improve heart failure treatment by increasing adherence to the ACC/American Heart Association (AHA) heart failure guidelines through the use of patient and clinician tools. A core objective was to increase use of chronic care management methods and evidence-based therapies. Methods

131. Statin Therapy May Lower Mortality In Heart Failure Patients
     Cholesterollowering statin therapy may improve survival in patients with diastolicheart failure (DHF) according to a paper published in Circulation  
     http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-07/wfub-stm072205.php
     
     Extractions: Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Cholesterol-lowering statin therapy may improve survival in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) according to a paper published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association by cardiologists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Currently, there are no treatments shown to improve survival in these patients, who make up about 40 percent of all heart failure cases. Systolic heart failure patients have hearts that don't pump out enough blood. In DHF, the heart does not fully relax and therefore does not fill properly with blood. The mortality rate is 5 to 8 percent per year. William C. Little, M.D., head of the cardiology section at Wake Forest Baptist, and his research team found a dramatic difference in the longevity of 137 diastolic heart failure patients followed over a three-year period. The patients were being treated with ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium blockers or statins – all drugs that are commonly used to treat hypertension or heart-related conditions. "Some patients in the group had been diagnosed with high cholesterol and placed on statin therapy by their doctors. Others in the group whose cholesterol levels were not as high in general, were not placed on statins," said Little. "But when we followed the patients we found that those who had received statins did dramatically better."

The heart keeps pumping, but not as efficiently as a healthy heart. Usually, the loss in the heart's pumping action is a symptom of an underlying heart problem. Heart failure often occurs in children with congenital (present at birth) heart defects. Other medical problems that can cause heart failure include, but are not limited to, the following: heart valve disease caused by past rheumatic fever or other infections infections of the heart valves and/or heart muscle (i.e., endocarditis) cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) cardiomyopathy, or another primary disease of the heart muscle

     Extractions: CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina (CNN) Women with congestive heart failure can live twice as long as men with the same disease, according to a study released Monday. Researchers said the cause is most likely a biological difference between the sexes: Women's heart muscles respond better to some types of heart disease, such as high blood pressure. The study, reported in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, focused on patients with advanced heart failure. "What we think may be going on is there are biological differences between men and women that effect the way they respond to the heart failure state," said lead researcher Dr. Kirkwood F. Adams Jr., a professor of medicine and radiology at the University of North Carolina.
