Genetics, cardiac phenotype and cardiovascular outcomes in Fabry disease patients in Finland
Abstract Aims To investigate the genetics, cardiac phenotype and cardiovascular outcomes of Finnish Fabry patients. Methods and results Among the 109 patients with Fabry disease (FD) diagnosed in Finland by 2018, 97 (89%; 32 males and 65 females, mean ages 42 and 52 years) were followed for a mean of 12 years.

Microvascular obstruction in cardiac amyloidosis
Abstract Aims Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils within the extracellular space, causing disarray of the myocardial structure and capillary architecture. This study aims to characterize the prevalence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) in patients with CA and to assess the association between MVO and prognosis ...

Abstract This clinical consensus statement revisits the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a measurement of cardiac function, a prognostic marker and a major criterion to classify patients with heart failure, and gives new advice for clinical practice.

This systematic review included seven studies that reported the outcomes of minimization or withdrawal of oral pharmacotherapy in chronic heart failure (HF) patients with improved myocardial function. There is a dearth of existing evidence, which supports only loop diuretic withdrawal and possibly carvedilol monotherapy.

Abstract Obesity and heart failure (HF) represent two growing pandemics. In the general population, obesity affects one in eight adults and is linked with an increased risk for HF. Obesity is even more common in patients with HF, where it complicates the diagnosis of HF and is linked with worse symptoms and impaired exercise capacity. Over the past few
