FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

Use of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists in patients with left ventricular assist devices
Key question: does GLP1‐RA therapy improve heart transplantation rates and clinical outcomes in patients with LVADs? Key findings: in this propensity score‐matched cohort study of 1068 LVAD recipients, GLP1‐RA use was associated with higher heart transplantation rates (18.9% vs.
