Improving Early Detection And Risk Prediction In Heart Failure

PREDICTING HEART FAILURE Predicting Heart Failure: Invasive, Non-Invasive, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Based Methods focuses on the mechanics and symptoms of heart failure and various approaches, including conventional and modern techniques to diagnose it. This book also provides a comprehensive but concise guide to all modern cardiological practice, emphasizing practical clinical management in many different contexts. Predicting Heart Failure supplies readers with trustworthy insights into all aspects of heart failure, including essential background information on clinical practice guidelines, in-depth, peer-reviewed articles, and broad coverage of this fast-moving field. Readers will also find: Discussion of the main characteristics of cardiovascular biosensors, along with their open issues for development and application Summary of the difficulties of wireless sensor communication and power transfer, and the utility of artificial intelligence in cardiology Coverage of data mining classification techniques, applied machine learning and advanced methods for estimating HF severity and diagnosing and predicting heart failure Discussion of the risks and issues associated with the remote monitoring system Assessment of the potential applications and future of implantable and wearable devices in heart failure prediction and detection Artificial intelligence in mobile monitoring technologies to provide clinicians with improved treatment options, ultimately easing access to healthcare by all patient populations. Providing the latest research data for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, Predicting Heart Failure: Invasive, Non-Invasive, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Based Methods is an excellent resource for nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students, and general practitioners to gain a better understanding of bedside cardiology.

For many years, there has been a great deal of work done on chronic congestive heart failure while acute heart failure has been considered a difficult to handle and hopeless syndrome. However, in recent years acute heart failure has become a growing area of study and this is the first book to cover extensively the diagnosis and management of this complex condition. The book reflects the considerable amounts of new data reported and many new concepts which have been proposed in the last 3-4 years looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment of acute heart failure.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), once thought to be confined primarily to industrialized nations, has emerged as a major health threat in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease now accounts for nearly 30 percent of deaths in low and middle income countries each year, and is accompanied by significant economic repercussions. Yet most governments, global health institutions, and development agencies have largely overlooked CVD as they have invested in health in developing countries. Recognizing the gap between the compelling evidence of the global CVD burden and the investment needed to prevent and control CVD, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) turned to the IOM for advice on how to catalyze change. In this report, the IOM recommends that the NHLBI, development agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and governments work toward two essential goals: creating environments that promote heart healthy lifestyle choices and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and building public health infrastructure and health systems with the capacity to implement programs that will effectively detect and reduce risk and manage CVD. To meet these goals, the IOM recommends several steps, including improving cooperation and collaboration; implementing effective and feasible strategies; and informing efforts through research and health surveillance. Without better efforts to promote cardiovascular health, global health as a whole will be undermined.

This two-volume book focuses on both theory and applications in the broad areas of communication technology, computer science and information security. It brings together contributions from scientists, professors, scholars and students, and presents essential information on computing, networking, and informatics. It also discusses the practical challenges encountered and the solutions used to overcome them, the goal being to promote the “translation” of basic research into applied research, and of applied research into practice. The works presented here will also demonstrate the importance of basic scientific research in a range of fields.

Much remains to be known about public utilities system organization, efficiency, management, legislation, practices, and solutions worldwide, as well as the implications for sustainable development in different countries. Thus, a better understanding of the different management practices in public utilities across different contexts is needed to assess their impact on efficiency and sustainability, especially in the changed climate conditions. Transformation and Efficiency Enhancement of Public Utilities Systems: Multidimensional Aspects and Perspectives considers the necessity to transform public utilities systems towards sustainability and efficiency. This publication investigates the performance management process of public utility systems and evaluates the efficiency of public utilities to propose potential improvements. The book encourages amenable authorities to create more efficient and effective management systems and improve their performance. Additionally, it provides the government with a systemic approach to public utilities system transformation and development. Covering key topics such as public hygiene, sustainability, and environmental protection, this premier reference source is ideal for government officials, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
