Hemodynamic‐Driven Staging of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Using Unsupervised Cluster Analysis

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive exercise hemodynamics are used to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), based on pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) or left atrial (LA) pressure elevations. We hypothesized that applying unsupervised cluster analysis to comprehensive hemodynamic characterization might provide data‐driven phenotypes, with

Levosimendan as a “Bridge to Optimization” in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection—A Single-Center Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Background: Patients with advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction often cannot tolerate target doses of guideline-directed medical therapy due to symptomatic hypotension, renal dysfunction, and associated electrolyte abnormalities.

Effect of levosimendan on prognosis in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

open access: yesCritical Care, 2017
Background Small trials suggest that levosimendan is associated with a favorable outcome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, recently published larger-scale trials did not provide evidence for a similar benefit from levosimendan.

Interpretable Machine Learning Model for Predicting 30‐Day Readmission in Advanced Heart Failure Patients: Synergistic Assessment of Inflammatory and Metabolic Biomarkers

open access: yesCardiovascular Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Patients with advanced heart failure (AdHF) face a high risk of early readmission, leading to poor outcomes and increased healthcare burden. Early identification of high‐risk individuals remains a clinical challenge. Methods This retrospective study included 769 AdHF patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, with an

Heart failure : studies of prognosis and advanced therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem affecting 2-3% of the Western population. The clinical syndrome of HF is associated with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction.

Vasoactive–Inotropic Score Reduction Rate Is Highly Associated With Prognosis for Critically Ill Patients With Cardiogenic Shock: Insights From the Real‐World Dynamic Data

open access: yesCardiovascular Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background In cardiogenic shock (CS), titration of both the choice and dosage of inotropes and vasopressors is crucial. The vasoactive–inotropic score (VIS) quantifies hemodynamic support, while the effect of temporal VIS change on prognosis remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between the vasoactive–inotropic score reduction rate (VRR)
