Riociguat in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension: The PATENT–CHILD study

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 12, Issue 3, July 2022., 2022
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

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 122-132, February 2022., 2022
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

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 4944-4954, December 2021., 2021
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

Study design and rationale of the pAtients pResenTing with cOngenital heaRt dIseAse Register (ARTORIA‐R)

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 5542-5550, December 2021., 2021
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.

A +3 variant at a donor splice site leads to a skipping of the MYH11 exon 32, a recurrent RNA defect causing Heritable Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection and/or Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021
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 effects of hypouricemia on endothelium, oxidative stress, and arterial stiffness: A randomized, double‐blind, crossover study

Physiological Reports, Volume 9, Issue 17, September 2021., 2021
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

The myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil improves wall stress in a rat model of chronic aortic regurgitation

Physiological Reports, Volume 9, Issue 16, August 2021., 2021
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

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 1365-1376, June 2021., 2021
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 ...
