Postimplant Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors Use Is Associated With Lower Rates of Thrombotic Events After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) thrombosis is clinically devastating and impacts the cost effectiveness of LVAD therapy for advanced heart failure.

Circulating virome and inflammatory proteome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and primary ventricular fibrillation

Scientific Reports, 2022
Primary ventricular fibrillation (PVF) is a life-threatening complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It is unclear what roles viral infection and/or systemic inflammation may play as underlying triggers of PVF, as a second hit

Quality of life in patients with heart failure and improved ejection fraction: one‐year changes and prognosis

ESC Heart Failure, 2022
Aims The criteria for patients with heart failure (HF) and improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) are a baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%, a ≥10‐point increase from baseline LVEF, and a second LVEF measurement >40%.

Impact of a nutrition/educational program in a group of type 2 diabetes patients, already involved in a wider “Group Care” plan and not achieving complete target: an observational study

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2017
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most frequent chronic degenerative diseases in the world (5.4% in Italy); it has many chronic consequences with a significant impact either on expectation or quality of life.

Long-term LVEF trajectories in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure: diabetic cardiomyopathy may underlie functional decline

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2020
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectories and functional recovery with current heart failure (HF) management is increasingly recognized. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) leads to a worse prognosis in HF patients.

Determination of collagen content within picrosirius red stained paraffin-embedded tissue sections using fluorescence microscopy

MethodsX, 2015
Picrosirius red (PSR) staining is a commonly used histological technique to visualize collagen in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. PSR stained collagen appears red in light microscopy.

Transient heart rate reduction improves acute decompensated heart failure‐induced left ventricular and coronary dysfunction

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), a live‐threatening complication of heart failure (HF), associates a further decrease of the already by HF‐impaired cardiac function with an increase in heart rate.

Lungs in Heart Failure [PDF]

Pulmonary Medicine, 2012
Lung function abnormalities both at rest and during exercise are frequently observed in patients with chronic heart failure, also in the absence of respiratory disease. Alterations of respiratory mechanics and of gas exchange capacity are strictly related to heart failure.

Prevalence of, association with, severity of, and prognostic role of serum hemoglobin level in acutely decompensated heart failure patients

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background The role of hemoglobin (Hb) level in the short-term prognosis of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains a matter of debate.

Prevention of heart failure [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reports, 2002
In light of the increasing prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of heart failure, preventative strategies are urgently needed. Risk factors include coronary artery disease, renal insufficiency, diabetes, and smoking. Essential strategies for prevention of heart failure are modification of risk factors for its development, and detection and treatment of
