A Portuguese expert panel position paper on the management of heart failure wit...

In Portugal, a 15.2% prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was recently identified among those aged ≥50 years. HFpEF represents 90% of Portuguese heart failure patients. HFpEF management in Portugal is challenging due to patient heterogeneity, diagnostic and therapeutic complexity, and organizational constraints on the healthcare system. Considering the above, a panel of Portugues...

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects more than 50% of HF patients worldwide, and more than 70% of HF patients aged over 65. This is a complex syndrome with a clinically heterogeneous presentation and a multifactorial pathophysiology, both of which make its diagnosis and treatment challenging. A Portuguese HF expert panel convened to address HFpEF pathophysiology and therapy, as we...

Hyperkalemia management: a multidisciplinary expert panel’s perspective on the ...

Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening condition frequently encountered in clinical practice, particularly among patients with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, diabetes, and hypertension and those undergoing treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi). The management of chronic and acute hyperkalemia is complex and requires timely intervention to prevent severe complicat...

Introduction and objectives: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that is a significant burden in hospitalisations, morbidity, and mortality. Although a significant effort has been made to better understand its consequences and current barriers in its management, there are still several gaps to address. The present work aimed to identify the views of a multidisciplinary group of health care profess...

Beyond clinical trials: the cost saving associated with Dapagliflozin use in Po...

Introduction and objectives: Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Dapagliflozin has proven efficacy in reducing the risk of death and hospitalization in HF patients, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This paper aimed to project the potential impact of dapagliflozin on healthcare costs related to HF subsequent hos...
