Clinical Trial Evidence in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection on Fraction

by Prateek Chopra | May 25, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains associated with frequent hospitalizations, progressive ventricular remodeling, and high mortality despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). The RELIEVE-HF trial was designed to evaluate whether unloading the left atrium with the V-Wave Ventura interatrial shunt could reduce congestion and improve clinical […]

Guideline-Directed Medical and Device Therapy in Heart Failure: Insights from theESC Heart Failure III Registry in Armenia

by Prateek Chopra | May 24, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device-based interventions are well established to improve outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, implementation of evidence-based therapies varies considerably across healthcare systems and may be influenced by drug availability, healthcare infrastructure, and reimbursement policies. Using data from the European Society of

Effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan and SGLT2 Inhibitors on Echocardiographic Responseand Clinical Outcomes A er Cardiac Resynchroniza on Therapy: Insights froma Real-world Cohort

by Prateek Chopra | May 23, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is recommended for symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients with prolonged QRS duration and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), although pivotal CRT trials predated widespread use of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). This study evaluated whether contemporary HF therapy influences

by Prateek Chopra | May 18, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) frequently coexist with Heart Failure (HF), substantially increasing the risks of mortality and hospitalization for HF (HHF). Several HF therapies have demonstrated cardiorenal benefits in patients with CKD and/or T2DM; however, real-world evidence suggests that these therapies remain
