Imaging Advances in Heart Failure

Cardiac Failure Review
This paper delves into the significance of imaging in the diagnosis, aetiology and therapeutic guidance of heart failure, aiming to facilitate early referral and improve patient outcomes. Imaging plays a crucial role not only in assessing left ventricular ejection fraction, but also in characterising the underlying cardiac abnormalities and reaching a ...

On Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Pediatric Cancer Supportive Care: Illustrative Examples From Two Multi‐Center Phase‐III Randomized Clinical Trials

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric supportive care clinical trials often involve multiple clinically important outcomes, complicating trial interpretation. Hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs) provide a framework to integrate key outcomes according to clinical importance.

Vericiguat Therapy Is Associated with Reverse Myocardial Remodeling in Chronic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background and aims: Vericiguat lowers cardiovascular death or heart-failure hospitalization in recently worsened heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but its effects on cardiac remodeling are less well characterized.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Advanced Heart Failure [PDF]

Internal Medicine, 2019
Abstract Advanced heart failure (AHF) is the stage of heart failure (HF) refractory to maximal medical treatment, cardiac devices (CRT - cardiac resynchronization, ICD - implantable defibrillator) and surgical treatment. AHF has become of interest through the experience and favorable results of treatment by mechanical circulatory ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Renal Response to Levosimendan in Advanced Chronic Heart Failure Patients Listed for Heart Transplantation Predicts Early Postoperative Renal Function Course

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Beyond its established inotropic effects, levosimendan has been reported to enhance renal function in patients with chronic heart failure. In this study, we investigated whether changes in renal function following levosimendan administration ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
