Dapagliflozin in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
In the DAPA-HF (Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure) trial reported by McMurray et al. (Nov. 21 issue),1 among patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes was significantly lower among those who received dapagliflozin than among those ...

Isosorbide dinitrate, with or without hydralazine, does not reduce wave reflections, left ventricular hypertrophy, or myocardial fibrosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

, 2017
Background-Wave reflections, which are increased in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, impair diastolic function and promote pathologic myocardial remodeling.

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...
