Riociguat in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension: The PATENT–CHILD study
Abstract Riociguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, is approved for treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral riociguat in a pediatric population with PAH was assessed in PATENT–CHILD (NCT02562235), a multicenter, single‐arm, 24‐week, open‐label, Phase 3 study ...

Body composition and maximal exercise capacity after heart transplantation
Abstract Aims Maximal exercise capacity as measured by peak oxygen consumption (pVO2) in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) of heart transplant recipients (HTR) is limited to a 50–70% level of healthy age‐matched controls. This study investigated the relationship between body composition and pVO2 during the first decade post‐transplant.

Haemodynamic parameters associated with renal function prior to and following heart transplantation
Abstract Aims Abnormal renal function is a common feature in patients on heart transplant waiting lists. This study aimed to identify the haemodynamic parameters associated with decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients listed for heart transplantation (HT) and renal function improvement following HT. Methods and results A total

Severe Haemoptysis due to Pulmonary Artery Agenesis, About Two Rare but Threatening Case Reports. [PDF]
Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis (UPAA) is a rare condition that may be asymptomatic or present with recurrent infections and haemoptysis. Here, we report two distinct cases of UPAA admitted for the management of haemoptysis. These two cases highlight the varied presentations and diagnostic circumstances of UPAA.

Abstract Aim Due to improved therapy in childhood, many patients with congenital heart disease reach adulthood and are termed adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). ACHD often develop heart failure (HF) as a consequence of initial palliative surgery or complex anatomy and subsequently require advanced HF therapy.

We report on a family with heritable thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection with patent ductus arteriosus (FTAAD/PDA) caused by a variant leading to a skipping of the exon 32 in the MYH11 gene. This transcripts defect previously shown to lead to a strong dominant negative effect in the smooth muscle myosin rod is recurrent.

Acute moderate hypouricemia encompasses minor improvements in endothelial function, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness. Abstract We hypothesized acute moderate and drastic reductions in uric acid concentration exert different effects on arterial function in healthy normotensive and hypertensive adults. Thirty‐six adults (aged 58 [55;63] years) with

Aortic regurgitation increase left ventricle wall stress, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of omecamtiv mecarbil on left ventricle wall stress. Abstract In patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR), excessive preload and afterload increase left ventricle wall stress, leading to left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

CD5 levels define functionally heterogeneous populations of naïve human CD4+ T cells
CD5lo and CD5hi naïve human CD4+ T cells differ in their gene expression profiles, affinity for foreign antigen, cytokine production after activation, and accumulation in the memory compartment. These findings have important implications in the identification of functionally biased T‐cell populations that can be exploited to improve cell therapies ...
