Growth differentiation factor‐15 and N‐terminal pro‐BNP in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 888-899, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Transendocardial injection of expanded autologous CD34+ cells after myocardial infarction: Design of the EXCELLENT trial

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1455-1463, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Porphyria Cutanea Tarda in a Patient with End-Stage Renal Disease: A Case of Successful Treatment with Deferoxamine and Ferric Carboxymaltose

open access: yesCase Reports in Nephrology, 2017
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a rare disease, with a strong association with hepatitis C virus. PCT is particularly problematic in end-stage renal disease patients as they have no renal excretion of porphyrins and these are poorly dialyzed.

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Inflammation enhances cardiovascular risk and mortality in hemodialysis patients.

open access: yesKidney International, 1999
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis, a major problem in patients on chronic hemodialysis, has been characterized as an inflammatory disease. C-reactive protein (CRP), the prototypical acute phase protein in humans, is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in ...

BUN‐to‐ALB ratio as an effective predictor of 30 day mortality in ADHF patients in eastern China

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) is considered a potential indicator for assessing the poor prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic value for Chinese patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear.

Renal Perfusion during Hemodialysis: Intradialytic Blood Flow Decline and Effects of Dialysate Cooling.

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019
BACKGROUND Residual renal function (RRF) confers survival in patients with ESRD but declines after initiating hemodialysis. Previous research shows that dialysate cooling reduces hemodialysis-induced circulatory stress and protects the brain and heart ...

Analysis of outcomes in patients with HeartMate 3 with and without right ventricular assist device support

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Temporary RVAD support following HM3 LVAD is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Temporary RVAD support occurs most frequently in INTERMACS 1 or 2 patients and those who require pre‐operative VA‐ECMO. In addition to higher post‐operative mortality, a significantly higher risk of both dialysis and stroke at 1 year post‐implant was observed in ...
