Anxiety disorders often accompany the course of cardiovascular disease and become more pronounced as they progress. Anxiety is also a frequent companion of patients with heart failure (HF). In a recent meta-analysis of 38 studies by K. Easton et al. (2015) estimated that 32% of patients with HF experience an increased level of anxiety, and 13% of patients meet the criteria for anxiety disorder. In the later stages of heart failure, the prevalence of anxiety increases. Anxiety disorder is diagnosed in approximately 20% of patients with decompensated HF who require implantation of auxiliary devices to maintain left ventricular function [5, 6].

Keywords: anxiety disorders, heart failure, emoxipin.

Correction of Iron Deficiency in Patients with CHF: Update of Practical Recommendations

Abstract. The European Society of Cardiology considers iron deficiency as a common comorbid condition in chronic heart failure (CHF) and provides recommendations for its diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, in clinical practice, even in developed countries, iron deficiency remains unnoticed by clinicians, and many patients with CHF do not receive replacement therapy, which can positively affect...

Patients with cardiovascular diseases – diagnosis and correction of iron deficiency conditions

The latent iron deficiency among the adult population, even in European countries, is 30-40%. At the same time very often, iron deficiency is confused with anemia. That is why in this context it is appropriate to draw a parallel with the captain of the Titanic, who saw only the tip of the iceberg, and therefore...
