Telomere Length Is Associated With Adverse Atrial Remodeling in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a massive burden on global health. The prevalence of AF increases dramatically with age and can be up to 18% in patients older than 80 years.

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Background: Atrial fibrosis may act as a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial functional mitral regurgitation (MR); thus, recognition is required to select the optimal therapeutic intervention.

Atrial fibrosis is an essential contributor to atrial fibrillation (AF). It remains unclear whether atrial endocardial endothelial cells (AEECs) that undergo endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) are among the sources of atrial fibroblasts.

Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...

In patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction related heart failure, the in‐hospital administration of ARNIs was associated with a reduced risk of MACEs and re‐hospitalizations for heart failure, as well as cardiac remodeling, compared to standard therapy.

Neuraminidase 1 (NEU1) regulation of atrial fibrillation (AF) progression via fibrosis remains unknown. Mice receiving AAV9-mediated NEU1 knockdown were infused with Ang II and subjected to programmed electrical stimulation to induce AF.

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Myocardial Fibrosis and the Risk of Recurrence in Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia increasing the risk of stroke and mortality from heart failure. Magnetic resonance imaging was used by several authors for assessment of atrial fibrosis and to predict the rate of ...
