Remote monitoring reduces heartfailure hospitalizations and improves qualityoflife, shows study TheLancet
of 30%, a previous heart failure hospitalization, and relatively low levels of background guideline-directed medical therapy.
Heart failure guidelines state that pulmonary artery pressure monitoring has uncertain value but may be considered ; uptake in Europe is therefore marginal. European data were needed comparing pulmonary artery pressure monitoring to standard of care with high levels of background medical therapy. MONITOR-HF tested the effect of hemodynamic monitoring on quality of life and heart failure hospitalizations against contemporary standard of care in the Netherlands.
Participants were randomly allocated 1:1 to pulmonary artery pressure monitoring on top of usual care or usual care alone . All patients were followed up for at least 12 months. The average duration of follow up was 18 months and the maximum was 48 months.

How to repair a damaged heart: Key mechanism behind heart regeneration in zebrafish revealedCardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, are a leading cause of death worldwide resulting from a limited self-healing power of the heart. Unlike humans, zebrafish have the remarkable capacity to recover from cardiac damage. Researchers from the group of Jeroen Bakkers (Hubrecht Institute) have used the zebrafish to shed light on their regenerative success. They discovered a new mechanism that functions as a switch to push the heart muscle cells to mature in the regeneration process. Importantly, this mechanism was evolutionary conserved as it had a very similar effect on mouse and human heart muscle cells.
