Invasive haemodynamic assessment in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract Despite the increasing prevalence and substantial burden of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which constitutes up to 50% of all heart failure cases, significant challenges persist in its diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Dimension reduction of high-dimension categorical data with two or multiple responses considering interactions between responses [PDF]
This paper models categorical data with two or multiple responses, focusing on the interactions between responses. We propose an efficient iterative procedure based on sufficient dimension reduction. We study the theoretical guarantees of the proposed method under the two- and multiple-response models, demonstrating the uniqueness of the proposed ...

Abstract Aims Wild‐type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a cardiomyopathy causing myocardial hypoperfusion and impaired cardiac mitochondrial function. Trimetazidine is an antianginal agent used in patients with stable angina pectoris, which improves cardiac contractility and mitochondrial function.

Do Pulmonary Hemodynamics Change After Effective Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Emphysema?
The improvement in lung function, exercise test, blood gas levels, and symptoms in emphysema patients after volume reduction surgery is a result of improvements in breathing mechanics.

Abstract Aims Dapagliflozin (DAPA), a sodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitor, has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality among patients with chronic heart failure. We aimed to evaluate the impact on a worsening renal function (WRF) by adding DAPA as compared to standard decongestive therapy with loop diuretics alone.

Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) remodelling, a progressive condition characterized by maladaptive cardiac structural and functional changes, primarily results from prolonged pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Accurate, universal and easy‐to‐use biomarkers for assessing the severity of RV remodelling are lacking.

Development of configurational forces during the injection of an elastic rod [PDF]
When an inextensible elastic rod is 'injected' through a sliding sleeve against a fixed constraint, configurational forces are developed, deeply influencing the mechanical response. This effect, which is a consequence of the change in length of the portion of the rod included between the sliding sleeve and the fixed constraint, is theoretically ...

Non-invasive urinary bladder volume estimation with artefact-suppressed bio-impedance measurements [PDF]
Urine output is a vital parameter to gauge kidney health. Current monitoring methods include manually written records, invasive urinary catheterization or ultrasound measurements performed by highly skilled personnel. Catheterization bears high risks of infection while intermittent ultrasound measures and manual recording are time consuming and might ...

Flow-driven robotic navigation of microengineered endovascular probes [PDF]
Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have drastically reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many regions inside the body, such as in the brain vasculature, still remain inaccessible due to the lack of appropriate guidance technologies. Here, experimentally and through numerical simulations,
