Effectiveness and safety of combining thiazides with loop diuretics vs. loop diuretics monotherapy in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: A retrospective cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study investigated factors associated with and outcomes of combined loop diuretics with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods In this retrospective study, adults hospitalized for ADHF and who received intravenous loop diuretics between January 2016 and March 2023 were enrolled.

Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

Incident heart failure: comparing management and outcome in primary and hospital settings in Western Sweden 2008–2017

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 832-838, April 2025.
Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Review of Current Knowledge and Future Directions

Quality in Sport
Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of diseases in which genetic defects occur that disturb the synthesis of cortisol. The most common variant of CAH (95%-99%) is caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency as a result of mutations in ...

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Machine learning‐based prediction of elevated N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide among US general population

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 859-868, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Natriuretic peptide‐based pre‐heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre‐heart failure, has not been well established.

Prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis: insights from ILLUMINATE‐CS

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 869-878, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...
