Comorbidity trajectories before and after the diagnosis of heart failure: A UK Biobank cohort study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Time of diagnosis of comorbidities in relation to heart failure. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; MI, myocardial infarction. Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is frequently associated with multiple comorbidities. We aimed to define their trajectory of accrual to identify opportunities for disease prevention. Methods and results We identified

Allele-specific NKX2-5 binding underlies multiple genetic associations with human electrocardiographic traits. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The cardiac transcription factor (TF) gene NKX2-5 has been associated with electrocardiographic (EKG) traits through genome-wide association studies (GWASs), but the extent to which differential binding of NKX2-5 at common regulatory variants contributes

Minimization or withdrawal of oral pharmacotherapy in chronic heart failure patients with improved myocardial function: A systematic review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
This systematic review included seven studies that reported the outcomes of minimization or withdrawal of oral pharmacotherapy in chronic heart failure (HF) patients with improved myocardial function. There is a dearth of existing evidence, which supports only loop diuretic withdrawal and possibly carvedilol monotherapy.

Left atrial appendage closure: a percutaneous transcatheter approach for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Atrial fibrillation is a frequent cause of stroke; in the elderly, more than 20% of strokes are attributed to this common arrhythmia. Anticoagulation with warfarin reduces the risk of stroke by ∼60%; however, a large proportion of patients with atrial ...

Albuminuria as a diagnostic criterion and a therapeutic target in heart failure and other cardiovascular disease

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The value of uACR. CKD, chronic kidney disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; uACR, urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio. Abstract The high disease burden and bidirectional relationship of chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) necessitate the need for early ...

Characterization of arrhythmia‐induced cardiomyopathy using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and left ventricular systolic dysfunction – insights from DECAAF II

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Arrhythmia‐induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) in left ventricular systolic dysfunction with atrial fibrillation (AF). HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. Abstract Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in heart failure reduces mortality and hospitalizations and ...

Liver stiffness measurement for non‐invasive assessment of central venous pressure in patients with heart failure: A multicentre pilot study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Liver stiffness measurement for central venous pressure assessment. AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CVP, central venous pressure; HF, heart failure; LSM, liver stiffness measurement; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction. Abstract Aims Central venous pressure (CVP) is an important variable in assessing heart

1% Aspiration, 99% Perspiration

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2020
A 71-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent insertion of a left atrial appendage occlusion device. Before release, a large thrombus was noted within the left atrium, attached to the left atrial appendage occluder delivery system.
