Skeletal muscle and subcutaneous fat quantity as prognostic indicators in cardiac amyloidosis
Aims Disease‐related changes in body composition are associated with worse outcomes in chronic heart failure. In cardiac amyloidosis (CA), the prognostic value of direct body composition measures is understudied. Methods and results We identified 160 consecutive patients with CA (transthyretin [ATTR] or light chain [AL]) diagnosed between 2001 and 2021

Abstract Guidelines for management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) emphasize personalized care, patient engagement, and shared decision‐making. Medications and cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices are recommended with a high level of evidence. However, there are significant disparities: patients who could benefit from devices

Cardioprotective effects of semaglutide on isolated human ventricular myocardium
Semaglutide reduces late sodium current (INa) and diastolic calcium (Ca) sparks in human cardiomyocytes from aortic stenosis (AS) and end‐stage heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, thereby increasing Ca transients. Improved Ca storage may underly the enhanced contractility of human cardiomyocytes upon semaglutide.

Abstract This clinical consensus statement revisits the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a measurement of cardiac function, a prognostic marker and a major criterion to classify patients with heart failure, and gives new advice for clinical practice.
