TL;DR: Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents summarize and evaluate all currently available evidence on a particular issue with the aim of assisting physicians and other healthcare providers in selecting the best management strategies for a typical patient, suffering from a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome, as well as the risk–benefit ratio of particular diagnostic or therapeutic means.

TL;DR: No single echocardiographic measure of dyssynchrony may be recommended to improve patient selection for CRT beyond current guidelines, given the modest sensitivity and specificity of these parameters in this multicenter setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and the risk of heart failure
TL;DR: In this large, community-based sample, increased body-mass index was associated with an increased risk of heart failure and strategies to promote optimal body weight may reduce the population burden ofheart failure.

TL;DR: In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP, and hypertension will be controlled only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.

Age-specific relevance of usual blood pressure to vascular mortality: a meta-analysis of individual data for one million adults in 61 prospective studies.
TL;DR: Throughout middle and old age, usual blood pressure is strongly and directly related to vascular (and overall) mortality, without any evidence of a threshold down to at least 115/75 mm Hg.

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes the risk of diabetic complications was strongly associated with previous hyperglycaemia, with the lowest risk being in those with HbA1c values in the normal range (<6.0%).

TL;DR: Blockade of aldosterone receptors by spironolactone, in addition to standard therapy, substantially reduces the risk of both morbidity and death among patients with severe heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of enalapril on survival in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fractions and congestive heart failure.
TL;DR: The addition of enalapril to conventional therapy significantly reduced mortality and hospitalizations for heart failure in patients with chronic congestive heart failure and reduced ejection fractions.
