Researchers have identified five distinct heart failure subtypes using machine learning methods across nationally representative datasets that may predict prognosis and ultimately guide treatment plans for patients.

SAN DIEGO — Advances in the ability to measure chronic, active inflammation in MS using MRI and positron emission tomography may improve disease diagnosis and prognosis, according to research presented at ACTRIMS 2023.

In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, worsening HF, defined as HF hospitalization or urgent need for IV diuretics, was independently associated with poor long-term prognosis, researchers reported.

Increased circulating plant-derived omega-3, known as alpha-linolenic acid, was associated with reduced risk for all-cause death or first HF hospitalization in ambulatory patients with HF, researchers reported.
