Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 2976-2984, August 2025.
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.

A two‐phase approach to identifying HFpEF in heart failure patients: Risk score evaluation and decision tree development

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 3079-3085, August 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its complex aetiology and overlapping symptoms with other HF types. The heterogeneity of HFpEF, compounded by frequent comorbidities, complicates diagnosis. This study aimed to enhance HFpEF prediction through a two‐phase approach: a

Genetic Variants Affect Distinct Metabolic Pathways in Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome and Severe COVID‐19

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has triggered a global health crisis, with over 700 million confirmed cases and at least 7 million deaths reported by early 2024. Children are less vulnerable to severe SARS‐CoV‐2 infection than adults and typically experience milder respiratory symptoms.

Impact of Breathing and Anatomical Constraints on Subxiphoid Epicardial Puncture: Insights From a Japanese Cohort

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study reveals that respiratory phase and anthropometric parameters significantly impact the xiphoid‐to‐pericardium distance, with expiration increasing the depth. These findings support the use of preprocedural ultrasound to optimize subxiphoid epicardial access, enhance safety, and inform needle selection based on individual anatomical ...
