Growth differentiation factor‐15 and N‐terminal pro‐BNP in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 888-899, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Cardiomyopathy in Non-Ambulatory Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Two Case Reports with Varying Outcomes, Considering Novel Treatments

Reports
Background and Clinical Significance: Cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of mortality in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Key prognostic factors include the age of onset of cardiomyopathy, low body mass index (BMI), and poor ...

Fuzzy-Based Boundary Enhancement for Echocardiogram Using Local Image Characteristics

, 2006
Speckle noise and artifacts in echocardiogram may cause edges to manifest themselves in different manners. As a result, edges in echocardiogram are identified with ambiguous definitions and they pose challenges for conventional gradient approximations ...

Early prediction of spontaneous Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure and PDA-associated outcomes: a prospective cohort investigation

BMC Pediatrics, 2019
Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the most commonly diagnosed cardiovascular condition in preterm infants, is associated with increased mortality and harmful long-term outcomes (chronic lung disease, neurodevelopmental delay).

Long‐term cardiovascular outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor‐related myocarditis: A large single‐centre analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1237-1245, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are the cornerstone of modern oncology; however, side effects such as ICI‐related myocarditis (irM) can be fatal. Recently, Bonaca proposed criteria for irM; however, it is unknown if they correlate well with cardiovascular (CV) ICI‐related adverse events.

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 912-922, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Cardiovascular toxicity induced by TKIs in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia: Are women and men different?

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1447-1454, April 2025.
This study analyzes 148 patients (66 women and 82 men) with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, focusing on cardiovascular adverse events. The risk assessment, performed using the HFA/ICOS score, reveals sex‐specific differences: venous thrombosis is more common in women, while arterial thrombosis predominates in men.

Evaluation of Changes in Heart Rate Variability Associated with Puppy Growth Using Phase-Rectified Signal Averaging (PRSA) and Non-Gaussianity Index

Animals
Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity through nonlinear mechanisms, including complex beat-to-beat fluctuations and chaos-like dynamics of healthy cardiac rhythms.
