Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.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).

Obesity and left atrial function: state of the art
Global CardiologyObesity is an established risk factor for heart failure (HF), with every unit increase in body mass index, the risk of HF increases by 5-7%. Obesity can especially increase the risk for HF with preserved ejection fraction due to left atrial (LA ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
