The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

Distinct Systemic Sclerosis Phenotypes Related to Ethnicity: An Opportunity to Personalize Care?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective is to describe and compare demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to ethnic background. Methods Participants enrolled in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who self‐identified to a single ethnicity group were included.

Can NT-proBNP Levels Be an Early Biomarker of Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Preterm Infants?

Children, 2022
Background/Objective: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a cardiac natriuretic hormone that cardiomyocytes release in response to ventricular stretch.

The effect of idiopathic premature ventricular complexes on left ventricular ejection fraction [PDF]

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2019
AbstractAimCurrent literature lacks a definitive threshold of idiopathic premature ventricular complex (PVC) burden for predicting cardiomyopathy (CMP). The main objective of the present study was to evaluate relationship between the PVC burden and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).MethodThis multicenter, cross‐sectional study included 341 ...

Adverse effects of intracardiac dyssynchrony and right ventricular pacing on contractile function and prognosis

Российский кардиологический журнал
Pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is a complication of frequent right ventricular pacing, which in most studies is regarded as a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction with constant right ventricular pacing.

Benefits of Permanent His Bundle Pacing Combined With Atrioventricular Node Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Heart Failure With Both Preserved and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundClinical benefits from His bundle pacing (HBP) in heart failure patients with preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction are still inconclusive.

Material property alterations for phenotypes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A numerical study of subject-specific porcine models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
A substantial proportion of heart failure patients have a preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFpEF). This condition carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality and has limited therapeutic options.

Prognosis of Adults With Borderline Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

JACC: Heart Failure, 2016
This study sought to examine the association of a borderline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% to 55% with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a community-based cohort.Guidelines stipulate a LVEF >55% as normal, but the optimal threshold, if any, remains uncertain.
