TL;DR: It is widely accepted that about half of heart failure (HF) hospitalizations are a direct consequence of inadequate self-care behavior, and digital and more specifically mHealth, i.e. medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, could have an important favourable effect in enhancing self- care behaviour in HF.

TL;DR: This document describes the patient journey from symptom onset to the clinical suspicion of AHF and home management or referral to emergency care and transportation to the hospital, through the clinical diagnostic pathway in the emergency department, acute treatment, risk stratification and discharge from theEmergency department to ordinary wards or home.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the variability of systolic (SAP) and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressure and their relationship with variability of the heart period (HP) in 20 resting chronic heart failure patients with stable PB.

TL;DR: The aim of this document is to focus on the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects related to the advanced stages of heart failure and, in particular, on the management of patients who are candidates for cardiac replacement therapy.
