British Heart Foundation : Research projects on heart failure 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An estimated 920,000 people in the UK are living with heart failure. It's a devastating condition, and many people have just months to live after their diagnosis. Our research has created treatments to give people with heart failure longer, healthier lives. But there's currently no cure other than heart transplant. We're working to change that.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping blood around the body as efficiently as it should. As the damaged heart needs to work harder, pressure on the heart increases and it becomes unable to provide your body with all the oxygen and nutrients it needs.

The most common reason for heart failure is the heart muscle being damaged - for example, by a heart attack.

Find out more about the symptoms and causes of heart failure.

Regenerating the heart

As little as twenty years ago, the idea that a heart could repair itself - through so called regenerative medicine - seemed like science fiction. But BHF-funded researchers are making progress.

Professor Richard Farndale and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge are developing a 'patch' from stem cells, which are special types of cells which can grow into more new cells and repair the heart tissue. This patch could be used to replace damaged muscle tissue after a heart attack. It's made from a 'scaffold' of the protein collagen, and is designed like a sponge with pores that absorb cells into the scaffold.

Another study looking into regenerative medicine is being undertaken by Sanjay Sinha and his team at the University of Cambridge are working to transform embryonic stem cells into the smooth muscle cells which form the walls of blood vessels. If successful, these cells could help deliver blood flow to muscle tissue patches which would be attached to the damaged heart.

How do fish repair their hearts?

Dr Mathilda Mommersteeg and her colleagues at the University of Oxford are studying Mexican cave fish, an extraordinary species living in rivers and caves in Mexico. The river fish can quickly repair their hearts if damage is sustained, but the fish living in dark caves have lost their sight and pigmentation, and are unable to repair heart damage. Dr Mommersteeg and her team are currently looking at the DNA of the two types of fish, to try and work out what molecular mechanisms required for heart repair that the river fish have kept and the cavefish have lost.

This research may help explain why some fish can repair their hearts after damage, whereas humans can't, and may reveal new ways to promote heart repair in people.

When the heart of a river fish is damaged, the heart muscle cells near the damaged area transform into stem cells, preventing heart failure from occurring. Previous research has shown that a protein called Mef2 is needed to turn stem cells from a different species of fish called zebrafish, into heart muscle cells.

Dr Yaniv Hinits and his BHF funded team at King's College London are exploring the idea that zebrafish muscle cells near wounds are able to turn Mef2 off so they can become stem cells, before growing and turning Mef2 back on to repair the heart. The research will help determine if the protein could influence heart muscle repair in humans, and test if other proteins thought to influence recovery after heart attack are working through Mef2.

Using artificial intelligence to understand heart failure

It's not always straightforward for doctors to find out when people with heart failure will get worse - which makes it difficult to provide the right treatment. Researchers lead by Declan O'Regan at Imperial College London are using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse thousands of heart scans generated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which measure the shape and movement of the heart in order to build a detailed three dimensional models. These models are used to 'train' the computer to recognise the earliest signs of heart failure. They will then apply these methods to patient groups, alongside currently available methods, to determine if the AI is better at predicting which patients will get worse more quickly.
Read more about how artificial intelligence is helping improve heart failure diagnosis.
IRON-MAN

We need iron for the muscles in our bodies to function properly. But people living with heart failure also often have low iron levels. This can make symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue worse, which has a significant effect on quality of life.

A team of our researchers, led by Dr Paul Kalra at Glasgow University, are studying whether giving intravenous iron replacement to people suffering from chronic heart failure will help improve their life expectancy.
Learn more about the IRON-MAN study.
The difference we've already made

Thanks to our life saving research, today 70% of people survive a heart attack. However, this means increasing numbers are now living with heart failure. Over the years, we've funded research to help heart failure patients live longer and have a better quality of life.

Life saving medicines

In the 1960's, there were no known medicines to improve life expectancy if you were diagnosed with heart failure. But since the British Heart Foundation was founded in 1961, we've made breakthroughs in heart failure medicine. In 1993, BHF Professor Stephen Ball helped prove that medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can improve the quality of life and life expectancy for people who suffer from heart failure after a heart attack.

Better diagnosis

In the past, if someone was suspected of having heart failure, getting a definitive diagnosis was difficult. But another research breakthrough funded by the British Heart Foundation means we can now diagnose heart failure more easily with the help of a simple blood test which looks for a molecule called B-type natriuretic peptide, or 'BNP'.

You don't have to face HF alone

The term "heart failure" makes it sound like the heart is no longer working at all and there's nothing that can be done. Actually, heart failure means that the heart isn't pumping as well as it should be. Congestive heart failure is a type of heart failure that requires seeking timely medical attention, although sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably.

Your body depends on the heart's pumping action to deliver oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to the body's cells. When the cells are nourished properly, the body can function normally. With heart failure, the weakened heart can't supply the cells with enough blood. This results in fatigue and shortness of breath and some people have coughing. Everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or carrying groceries can become very difficult.

Heart failure is a serious condition, and usually there's no cure. But many people with heart failure lead a full, enjoyable life when the condition is managed with heart failure medications and healthy lifestyle changes. It's also helpful to have the support of family and friends who understand your condition.

How the normal heart works

The normal healthy heart is a strong, muscular pump a little larger than a fist. It pumps blood continuously through the circulatory system.

Watch an animation of blood flow through the heart.

The heart has four chambers, two on the right and two on the left:

Two upper chambers called atria (one is called an atrium)

Two lower chambers called ventricles

The right atrium takes in oxygen-depleted blood from the rest of the body and sends it through the right ventricle where the blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs.

Oxygen-rich blood travels from the lungs to the left atrium, then on to the left ventricle, which pumps it to the rest of the body.

The heart pumps blood to the lungs and to all the body's tissues through a sequence of highly organized contractions of the four chambers. For the heart to function properly, the four chambers must beat in an organized way.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen. Basically, the heart can't keep up with its workload.

Watch an animation of heart failure.

At first the heart tries to make up for this by:

Enlarging. The heart stretches to contract more strongly and keep up with the demand to pump more blood. Over time this causes the heart to become enlarged.

Developing more muscle mass. The increase in muscle mass occurs because the contracting cells of the heart get bigger. This lets the heart pump more strongly, at least initially.

Pumping faster. This helps increase the heart's output.

The body also tries to compensate in other ways:

The blood vessels narrow to keep blood pressure up, trying to make up for the heart's loss of power.

The body diverts blood away from less important tissues and organs (like the kidneys), the heart and brain.

These temporary measures mask the problem of heart failure, but they don't solve it. Heart failure continues and worsens until these compensating processes no longer work.

Eventually the heart and body just can't keep up, and the person experiences the fatigue, breathing problems or other symptoms that usually prompt a trip to the doctor.

The body's compensation mechanisms help explain why some people may not become aware of their condition until years after their heart begins its decline. (It's also a good reason to have a regular checkup with your doctor.)

Heart failure can involve the heart's left side, right side or both sides. However, it usually affects the left side first.

Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities. It is a major cause of disability and dependency among older people worldwide, affecting individuals, caregivers, families, communities and societies. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. People with dementia often live for many years after their symptoms begin, requiring long-term care and support.

Dementia can be overwhelming not only for those who have it, but also for their caregivers and families. When resources are limited, especially in low- and middle-income countries, delegating dementia-related tasks and responsibilities to community workers can improve the quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers. With the growth of ageing populations around the world, the number of people living with dementia is rising rapidly.

Studies have shown that several classes of drugs are best to treat heart failure.

Heart failure patients may need multiple medications. Each one treats a different symptom or contributing factor and comes with its own instructions and rules.

You and your caregivers should work with your healthcare team to understand the medications and when, how often and in what dosage to take them.

It's important to discuss all of the drugs you take with your doctor (or other healthcare providers) and understand their desired effects and possible side effects. Your doctor and your pharmacist are your best sources of information. Don't hesitate to ask them questions about your medicines.

It's critical that people with heart failure take their medications exactly as directed by their healthcare provider, to optimize the benefits. The use of these drugs has saved lives, prolonged life and improved the heart's function.

The following list gives you a quick look at many typical medications to treat heart failure at different stages. Your prescription may have a different name from the ones listed here. Brand names commonly available in the United States are shown in parentheses after the generic name for each drug.
Patients taking ACE-i and ARBs who contract COVID-19 should continue treatment, unless otherwise advised by their physician *Some of the major types of commonly prescribed heart failure medications are summarized in this section. For your information and reference, we have included generic names as well as major trade names to help you identify what you may be taking; however, the AHA is not recommending or endorsing any specific products. If your prescription medication isn't on this list, remember that your healthcare provider and pharmacist are your best sources of information. It's important to discuss all of the drugs you take with your doctor and understand their desired effects and possible side effects. Never stop taking a medication and never change your dose or frequency without first consulting your doctor.
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors

Commonly prescribed include:

Captopril (Capoten)

Enalapril (Vasotec)

Fosinopril (Monopril)

Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)

Perindopril (Aceon)

Quinapril (Accupril)

Ramipril (Altace)

(Also known as ARBs or Angiotensin-2 Receptor Antagonists)

Commonly prescribed include:

Candesartan (Atacand)

Losartan (Cozaar)

Valsartan (Diovan)

Angiotensin-Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNIs)

ARNIs are a new drug combination of a neprilysin inhibitor and an ARB.

If Channel Blocker (or inhibitor)

This drug class reduces the heart rate, similar to another class of drugs called beta blockers.

Beta Blockers (Also known as Beta-Adrenergic Blocking Agents)

Commonly prescribed include:

Bisoprolol (Zebeta)

Metoprolol succinate (Toprol XL)

Carvedilol (Coreg)

Carvedilol CR (Coreg CR)Toprol XL

Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate (specifically benefits African-Americans with heart failure)

Commonly prescribed:

Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate (combination drug) - (Bidil)

Diuretics (Also known as water pills)

Commonly prescribed include:

Furosemide (Lasix)

Bumetanide (Bumex)

Torsemide (Demadex)

Chlorothiazide (Diuril)

Amiloride (Midamor Chlorthalidone (Hygroton)

Hydrochlorothiazide or HCTZ (Esidrix, Hydrodiuril)

Indapamide (Lozol)

Metolazone (Zaroxolyn)

Triamterene (Dyrenium)

What this type of medication does:

Causes the body to rid itself of excess fluids and sodium through urination.

Helps to relieve the heart's workload.

Decreases the buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body, such as the ankles and legs. Different diuretics remove fluid at varied rates and through different methods.

Other medications that might be prescribed

Your doctor may also prescribe other less commonly used drugs depending on your additional health problems. These drugs include:

Anticoagulants (*blood thinners) These drugs may be prescribed if you are a heart failure patient with atrial fibrillation or have another problem with your heart. Anticoagulants are not used to treat heart failure without the presence of atrial fibrillation.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) Your doctor may prescribe this class of medication if you have high cholesterol or have had a heart attack. This class of drugs is not used to treat heart failure, but other conditions as indicated.

Digoxin Some heart failure patients might be prescribed this drug if the doctor feels it's warranted.

A Heart Attack occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or stopped. This happens because coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood can slowly become thicker and harder from a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, called plaque. This slow process is known as atherosclerosis. If the plaque breaks open and a blood clot forms that blocks the blood flow, a heart attack occurs.

Watch our animation to discover why brushing your teeth can help your cardiovascular system, and get answers to some common questions about oral health and heart conditions.

How do I prevent gum disease?

Brush your teeth, particularly after meals so you can more easily remove food debris and plaque trapped between your teeth and gums. Also brush your tongue; this will help get rid of bacteria too.

Change your toothbrush around every three months. Look out for the bristles starting to bend, as this is a good sign you need a new one. Stand the toothbrush upright and let it air-dry between each use, as this can help reduce the bacteria. It doesn't matter whether you use an electric or manual toothbrush. They're both equally good, as long as you thoroughly brush all the surfaces of all your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day, and you use fluoride toothpaste. However, because of the rotating action of electric toothbrushes some people find it easier to clean their teeth thoroughly with them.

Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth and along the gum line, which your toothbrush can't reach

Don't rinse with water immediately after brushing your teeth as it will wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste, diluting it and reducing its preventative effects.

Floss at least once a day, using a different part of the floss for each tooth. It's best to floss before brushing your teeth. Take 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) of floss or dental tape, and grasp it so you have a couple of inches of floss taut between your hands. Slip the floss or dental tape between the teeth as far as it will go. Floss with 8-10 strokes, up and down between each tooth. This helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth and along the gum line, which your toothbrush can't reach.

Mouthwash can help reduce plaque and can remove any remaining food particles that brushing and flossing missed. Use a mouthwash containing fluoride, but don't use it after your brushing your teeth, as this can wash away the fluoride from your toothpaste. Instead choose another time to use mouthwash, such as after lunch, and don't eat or drink for 30 minutes afterwards.

Attend regular dental check-ups, and speak to a dental hygienist who could help clean and remove any hardened plaque.

What's the difference between gum disease, periodontitis, and gingivitis?

Gingivitis (gum inflammation) usually happens before periodontitis (gum disease). However, not all gingivitis progresses to periodontitis. Gingivitis can be treated so it doesn't progress to periodontitis.

How do I know if I have gum disease?

The surest sign of gum disease is inflammation. Gingivitis can cause red, painful, and tender gums. Periodontitis can then develop, which can cause bad breath and affects the tissues that hold your teeth in place. If periodontitis isn't treated your jaw bone may become damaged, and your teeth can become loose and eventually fall out.

Brushing regularly with fluoride toothpaste, flossing and using mouthwash can help prevent gum disease

Should I tell my dentist and hygienist if I have a heart condition?

Yes, and make sure that your dentist always has a list of all the medicines you take. It should include prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal pills and other nutritional supplements. Your list should include the name of each drug, the dosage, how often you take it and when your physician prescribed it. Put the date that you made the list at the top of the page. This will let the dentist know that it is a current list.

Will I need antibiotics before a dental procedure?

You may do, but this largely depends on your heart condition and the type of procedure.

Infective endocarditis is a rare but serious disease caused by oral bacteria known as streptococci, which can cause unwanted clot formation on heart valves. It is difficult to treat and is associated with a high mortality rate. In the past, people at risk of endocarditis, such as those with heart valve problems, were often given antibiotics before dental procedures. There are also growing concerns around evidence that antibiotic resistance is due to inappropriate use of antibiotics.

The final decision will be based on the dentist's clinical judgement

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that dentists no longer routinely give antibiotics to protect against endocarditis in high risk patients. However, the final decision will be based on the dentist's clinical judgement, and where necessary the dentist will seek advice from cardiologists or physicians.

Regardless of whether or not you receive antibiotics prior to a dental procedure, people at risk of endocarditis should take extra care to maintain an excellent standard of oral hygiene, know the symptoms of endocarditis, and seek medical advice urgently if symptoms develop.

If I'm on warfarin do I need to be more careful brushing my teeth?

You can brush your teeth as normal but be aware of any blood on your toothbrush or when you spit the toothpaste out, and of bleeding gums. If you notice any of these things, seek medical attention. You're at greatest risk of bleeding in the first few weeks of starting treatment with warfarin and when you're unwell. Bleeding is the main side effect associated with warfarin, as it slows down the blood's normal clotting ability.

Your dose of warfarin may need to be lowered or stopped a few days before having an operation or dental work

Tell the dentist that you're taking warfarin. Make sure your dentist knows any other conditions that you have, and any other medication that you're on. You can also show your dentist your INR record booklet.

In most cases your dentist will be able to carry out dental treatment as usual, but because of the risk of bleeding, your dose of warfarin may need to be lowered or stopped a few days before having an operation or dental work.

Do some drugs for heart and circulatory conditions damage your teeth and gums?

Calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine, amlodipine, and verapamil) have been associated with an increase in the size of the gums or overgrown gums (gingival enlargement), but this is quite rare. You can prevent this by maintaining good oral hygiene. If you have gingival enlargement due to the medicines you're taking, some symptoms include:

swollen and firm gums, but your gums do not feel tender when touched and aren't bleeding

your gums look overgrown.

Contact a dentist if you are on calcium channel blockers and spot the above symptoms.
