Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1081-1094, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

Osteoprotegerin: a pancreatic islets dysfunction and vascular injury modulator

open access: yes, 2011
Background. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble glycoprotein of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, which was initially identified as a key regulator in bone turnover.

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonists: where should they be applied?

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: Angiotensin II, the active endproduct of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), exerts its effects via angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 (AT(1), AT(2)) receptors.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Reduced sensitivity of the renal vasculature to angiotensin II in young rats: the role of the angiotensin type 2 receptor

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The angiotensin type-2 receptor (AT(2)R) opposes the vasoconstrictor actions of angiotensin II (AngII) mediated through the angiotensin type-1 receptor (AT,R).

Analysis of the usefulness and benefits of ultrafiltration in cardiorenal syndrome: A systematic review

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1194-1202, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Cardiac decompensation in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) results in systemic congestion usually treated with diuretics. When despite high doses of diuretics, response is poor, ultrafiltration (UF) appears to be a useful and safe technique.

Real‐world characteristics and treatment of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis: A multicentre, observational study

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1203-1216, April 2025.
The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme and vascular endothelial growth factor responses to exercise training in claudicants: the role of ace inhibition

open access: yes, 2009
Exercise training is well recognised as an effective treatment for intermittent claudication. The mechanism underlying exercise induced improvements is multi-factorial but remains poorly understood.
