Hemodynamic Response to Acute Volume Load and Endomyocardial NO-synthase Gene Expression in Heart Transplant Recipients

Transplantation Direct, 2022
Background. A pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) >18 mm Hg following volume load has been proposed as a partition value for the detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. As hemodynamic changes in filling pressures (FP) have been

Dramatic disease regression in a case of HFrEF with end‐stage renal failure treated with sacubitril/valsartan and SGLT2i

ESC Heart Failure, 2023
The amount of evidence for guideline‐directed new heart failure (HFrEF) disease‐modifying drugs in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is relatively modest, especially in end‐stage CKD. We report a case of dramatic reverse remodelling and disease
