Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]
, 2017 The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...

A giant mystery in giant cell myocarditis: navigating diagnosis, immunosuppression, and mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]
, 2020 Giant cell myocarditis is a rare but often devastating diagnosis. Advances in cardiac imaging and mechanical circulatory support have led to earlier and more frequent diagnoses and successful management. This disease state has wide variation in acuity of

Association Between Arterial Stiffness and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the world. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for about half of all heart failure.

Impact of Renal Impairment on Beta-Blocker Efficacy in Patients With Heart Failure. [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Moderate and moderately severe renal impairment are common in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, but whether beta-blockers are effective is unclear, leading to underuse of life-saving therapy.

HYPERTENSION AND HEART FAILURE WITH MID-RANGE EJECTION FRACTION
Journal of Hypertension, 2019 Objective:Although hypertension is a well- known risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF) and most patients with HF have a history of hypertension, it is largely unknown if HFmrEF (HF with mid-range Ejection Fraction) patients have some special epidemiological characteristics ...

Heart Failure With Mid-range or Recovered Ejection Fraction: Differential Determinants of Transition
Cardiac Failure Review, 2020 The recent definition of an intermediate clinical phenotype of heart failure (HF) based on an ejection fraction (EF) of between 40% and 49%, namely HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF), has fuelled investigations into the clinical profile and prognosis of this ...
