Prevalence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in undifferentiated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1176-1182, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is an increasinglyrecognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may be diagnosed non‐invasively using 99mTc 3,3‐diphosphono‐1,2‐propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) scintigraphy‐based diagnostic criteria.

Doxorubicin Selectively Inhibits Brain versus Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Gene Expression in Cultured Neonatal Rat Myocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Doxorubicin is an antineoplastic agent with significant cardiotoxicity. We examined the effects of this agent on the expression of the natriuretic peptide (NP) genes in cultured neonatal rat atrial myocytes.

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 ...

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 ...

Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis

Low NT-proBNP levels in overweight and obese patients do not rule out a diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome that presents clinicians with a diagnostic challenge. The use of natriuretic peptides to exclude a diagnosis of HFpEF has been proposed.

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 ...

eGFR slope as predictor of mortality in heart failure patients

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1217-1226, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) leads to an imbalance between heart and kidney function, resulting in poor outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectory in HF patients remains unclear. We analysed electronic health records (EHRs) of real‐world HF patients, assessing eGFR trajectories and ...

Natriuretic Peptides in the Cardiovascular System. Multifaceted Roles in Physiology, Pathology and Therapeutics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The natriuretic peptides (NPs) family includes a class of hormones and their receptors needed for the physiological control of cardiovascular functions. The discovery of NPs provided a fundamental contribution into our understanding of the physiological ...
