FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1485-1489, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Impact of remote biometric sensing on readmission risk and mortality after hospital discharge: Insights from a Systematic Review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Unplanned hospital readmissions are associated with higher morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. This study evaluated the association between the use of remote biometric sensing devices (RBS) and all‐cause readmission and mortality rates among adult patients discharged from the hospital.

Cardiac disease in systemic sclerosis: Integrating pathobiology with clinical management

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disorder in which cardiovascular involvement remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac injury in SSc results from the interplay of microvascular dysfunction, immune‐mediated inflammation, and progressive interstitial and replacement fibrosis, leading to myocardial disease ...
