Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Mechanisms of Defibrillation [PDF]

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2010
Electrical shock has been the one effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation for several decades. With the advancement of electrical and optical mapping techniques, histology, and computer modeling, the mechanisms responsible for defibrillation are now coming to light.

Prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis: insights from ILLUMINATE‐CS

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 869-878, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...

The role of cardiac acoustic biomarkers in monitoring patients with heart failure: A systematic literature review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 980-997, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure (HF) creates a considerable clinical, humanistic and economic burden on patients and caregivers as well as on healthcare systems. To attenuate the significant burden of HF, there is a need for enhanced management of patients with HF.

Slowing of electrical activity in ventricular fibrillation is not associated with increased defibrillation energies in the isolated rabbit heart

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
Prolonged out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrests are associated with reduced ECG dominant frequency (DF) and diminished defibrillation success. Partial reversal of ischaemia increases ECG DF and improves defibrillation outcome.

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).
