Feature: Putting practices in place to curb HF readmissions
cardiovascularbusiness.com — “Despite recent efforts to reduce readmission rates in the U.S., results from a report by the Dartmouth Atlas Project showed a large regional variation in 30-day readmission rates, particularly for Medicare beneficiaries post-acute care. The average readmission rate in the U.S. currently stand at 16.1 percent, which shows that more needs to be done to close gaps in care. To help get a handle on readmissions, providers from Spectrum Health have developed cardiac care solutions for patients to try ” View full resource at cardiovascularbusiness.com

Heart drug offers possible treatment for patients facing respiratory failure
eurekalert.org — “Treatment with the calcium-sensitizing drug levosimendan may be effective in improving muscle function in patients with respiratory muscle weakness, which often accompanies chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure, according to researchers in the Netherlands, who studied the effects of the drug on healthy volunteers. The drug, which is normally prescribed in patients with acute heart failure,increases the sensitivity of muscle tissue to calcium,” View full resource at eurekalert.org
