Exercise limitations in amyloid cardiomyopathy assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing—A multicentre study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1326-1335, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

Clinical utility and genetic landscape of exome sequencing in a large pediatric epilepsy cohort: Insights from a Turkish tertiary care center

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the diagnostic utility and genetic spectrum of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) in a large, well‐phenotyped cohort of Turkish pediatric patients with epilepsy of unknown etiology. Methods Between January 2021 and December 2024, 250 children (115 female, 135 male) with unexplained epilepsy underwent either whole‐exome ...

Mindfulness meditation increases interictal epileptiform discharges in meditation‐naïve surgical epilepsy patients

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meditation has widely recognized psychological and neuromodulatory benefits, yet its effects on epileptiform activity remain unclear. This study examined whether novice meditation modulates interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG).
