The anti‐fibrotic effects of novel heart failure pharmacotherapies in advanced heart failure patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1502-1516, April 2026.
Background and Purpose Novel heart failure (HF) pharmacotherapies, including angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), may confer cardiovascular benefits by attenuating myocardial fibrosis. However, direct evidence from human failing myocardial samples is limited.

Rejection Surveillance: Integrating Cell-Free DNA and Gene Expression Panels to Decrease Invasiveness in Routine Monitoring of Heart Transplant Recipients

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Post-transplant rejection surveillance remains a cornerstone of heart transplant care. Although endomyocardial biopsy has long been the gold standard for monitoring rejection, its invasiveness and limitations have driven innovations in noninvasive ...

Is arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy a paediatric problem too? [PDF]

, 2001
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heart muscle disease that is often familial, characterized by arrhythmias of right ventricular origin, due to transmural fatty or fibrofatty replacement of atrophic myocardium. ARVC is usually

Abnormal Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve Observed in Cardiac Amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2016
We performed real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography on a patient with cardiac amyloidosis and previous normal coronary angiography presenting with atypical chest pain to assess myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR).

Incremental Prognostic Value of Heart‐Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein in Patients With Light Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Baseline heart‐type fatty acid binding protein (H‐FABP) independently predicts all‐cause mortality in patients with light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL‐CA). Elevated H‐FABP levels (> 9.5 ng/mL) are associated with significantly worse survival and provide incremental prognostic value beyond established staging systems, improving risk stratification as ...

False‐positive bone scintigraphy denoting transthyretin amyloid in elderly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
A positive nuclear scintigraphy with hydroxy bisphosphonate bone tracer (99mTc‐HPD) is believed to have high sensitivity (>99%) and specificity (91%) for the diagnosis of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. We report the case of an 85‐year‐old man with

CMR‐derived skeletal muscle T1 time and extracellular volume as novel diagnostic markers for cardiac amyloidosis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study compared T1 time and ECV in cardiac and thoracic skeletal muscle using CMR in 267 CA patients and 1709 non‐CA controls. Representative T1‐maps (central panel) illustrate regions of interest placed in the cardiac and thoracic skeletal muscle.
