Heart failure (HF) can be defined as a clinical syndrome due to structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities, which results in reduced cardiac output. Identified factors have been associated with risk of progressive HF death and hospitalisation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) compared to patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
In this webinar, the featured speakers will discuss the prospective cohort study which followed up with over 900 patients identified as having HFrEF or HFpEF using the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for over 5 years (4481 patient-years of follow-up). The primary aim was to examine risk markers for progressive heart failure in patients with HFrEF or HFpEF.
Targeted treatments for HFpEF are lacking, partly due to a substantial gap in the understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the pathophysiology of HFpEF. Hospitalisations or deaths of patients were characterised in relation to HFpEF and HFrEF due to progressive heart failure.
Please join this insightful webinar. There was a critical new finding which the featured speakers believe will be of value to the audience, including clinicians caring for patients with HFpEF and scientists seeking new avenues for investigation and identification of this patient cohort.
Speakers
Prof. Mark Kearney, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Leeds
Prof. Kearney is the British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiovascular and Diabetes Research and a clinical consultant cardiologist with an interest in the mechanisms underlying diabetes related heart disease and the natural history and new treatments for patients with heart failure. His research group includes members with a wide range of skills addressing the link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Within ten years over 500 million people will suffer from type 2 diabetes which we now know is a disease of the large and small blood vessels.
Mark Kearney’s team is working on the link between changes in insulin and IGF-1 signalling in the blood vessel wall and diabetes with the aim of designing new ways of treating the devastating cardiovascular complications of type 2 diabetes. Mark is currently on the research committee of Diabetes UK having served on the project and fellowship committees of the British Heart Foundation. Mark is passionate about training tomorrow’s leaders in cardiovascular research.
