Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Real‐world characteristics and treatment of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis: A multicentre, observational study

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1203-1216, April 2025.
The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

Myocardial inflammation is associated with impaired mitochondrial oxidative capacity in ischaemic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1246-1255, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Myocardial inflammation and impaired mitochondrial oxidative capacity are hallmarks of heart failure (HF) pathophysiology. The extent of myocardial inflammation in patients suffering from ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and its association with mitochondrial energy metabolism are unknown.

Coronary flow reserve

American Heart Journal, 1991
The ability of the coronary circulation to autoregulate is essential for the heart to respond to metabolic demands. Several alterations in function may limit maximal coronary perfusion including atherosclerosis, structural abnormalities of small coronary vessels, extravascular compressive forces, thrombosis, abnormal endothelial regulatory function ...

Coronary flow reserve and coronary occlusive disease

Transplant International, 1992
The functional effects of coronary occlusive disease (COD) in cardiac transplant patients on small-resistance coronary vessels are unclear. We investigated the changes in coronary flow reserve (CFR) in response to the non-specific smooth muscle vasodilator papaverine.
