TL;DR: 2013 ESC Guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy : The Task Force on cardiac paced and resynchronized therapy of the European Society of Cardiology developed in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association.

TL;DR: The results suggest that carvedilol extends survival compared with metoprolol.

TL;DR: Most men but a minority of women who underwent investigation of cardiac function had evidence of moderate or severe left ventricular dysfunction, the main target of current advances in the treatment of heart failure.

TL;DR: Rosuvastatin did not reduce the primary outcome or the number of deaths from any cause in older patients with systolic heart failure, although the drug did reduce the numberOf cardiovascular hospitalizations and the drugdid not cause safety problems.

TL;DR: Sacubitril-valsartan did not result in a significantly lower rate of total hospitalizations for heart failure and death from cardiovascular causes among patients with heart failureand an ejection fraction of 45% or higher, and among 12 prespecified subgroups, there was suggestion of heterogeneity with possible benefit in patients with lower ejection fractions and in women.
