Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

Aortic stenosis intricacies beyond the valve: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Aims Numerous observational studies have reported an association between calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) and an increased risk of other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the potential causal association is uncertain. Methods and results A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to confirm the causal ...

Infective endarteritis and false mycotic aneurysm complicating aortic coarctation
A 12-year-old boy with coarctation of aorta developed infective endarteritis and mycotic aneurysm at the site distal to coarctation. The computed tomography angiogram was very helpful in the diagnosis.

New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...
