The diagnostic pathway of high‐risk primary care patients through NT‐proBNP. Abstract Introduction Early detection of heart failure (HF), particularly in asymptomatic individuals, is essential for timely intervention. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HF among high‐risk individuals in primary care using N‐terminal probrain natriuretic ...

Dapagliflozin effect on functional mitral regurgitation and myocardial remodelling: The DEFORM trial
Abstract Aims Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, and current guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) offers limited efficacy in managing FMR. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic impact of the sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin in patients with ...

Acoustic features are independently associated with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension
Abstract Introduction Acoustic analysis of speech has discriminated decompensated acute heart failure (HF). Speech rate (SR) and cepstral peak prominence (CPP) variation are among features previously evaluated. However, the association between SR and CPP and chronic stable HF with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH) as well as PH alone have not ...

Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

The effects of early exercise on cardiovascular biomarkers in patients with congestive heart failure
Abstract Background Exercise training improves functional outcomes in chronic heart failure (HF), but the effects of early in‐hospital physical activity on cardiovascular biomarkers and prognosis in acute congestive heart failure (AHF) patients remain unclear.
