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

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020

Exercise training and losartan improve endothelial function in heart failure rats by different mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Objectives. To investigate the mechanisms of losartan- and exercise training-induced improvements on endothelial dysfunction in heart failure. Design. Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to left coronary artery ligation inducing myocardial infarction and heart

Defining heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2001
The definition of heart failure is hampered by the wide variability of the clinical symptoms and signs, and of their etiologies. Many attempts have been made to come up with a general set of criteria that describe heart failure [1–7]. These criteria include clinical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, and exercise-related criteria and criteria ...

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

open access: yesMethodsX, 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.

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

open access: yesCardiovascular 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.

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

open access: yesScientific 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

How to develop a national heart failure clinics network: a consensus document of the Hellenic Heart Failure Association

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2020
Heart failure (HF) is rapidly growing, conferring considerable mortality, morbidity, and costs. Dedicated HF clinics improve patient outcomes, and the development of a national HF clinics network aims at addressing this need at national level.

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

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

open access: yesESC 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%.

ST2 and Multimarker Testing in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Most data on heart failure biomarkers have been derived from patient cohorts with chronic disease. However, risk prediction in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains a challenge.
