The Cardiac Mineralocorticoid Receptor (MR): A Therapeutic Target Against Ventricular Arrhythmias

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Mineralocorticoid antagonists have been shown to be useful in the treatment of severe heart failure and may even save lives in this context. However, the reason for the beneficial action of these drugs, as well as the physiological role played by the ...

Longitudinal Clinical Progression in X‐Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy: The AMNL Scoring System

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The current clinical nomenclature for individuals with ABCD1 gene dysfunction is often uninformative. The disorder was initially described as a combination of adrenal insufficiency and leukodystrophy, leading to the widespread use of “X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy” (ALD).

UMOD Genotype and Clinical Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients Treated with Loop Diuretics: A UK Biobank Pharmacogenetic Cohort Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Uromodulin (UMOD) regulates tubular sodium handling and modulates NKCC2, the molecular target of loop diuretics (LD). Although UMOD variants have been associated with blood pressure and hypertension, their pharmacogenetic relevance in heart failure (HF) remains unknown.

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.

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 ...

Beneficial effects of proanthocyanidins in the cardiac alterations induced by aldosterone in rat heart through mineralocorticoid receptor blockade.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Aldosterone administration in rats results in several cardiac alterations. Previous studies have demonstrated that proanthocyanidins, phenolic bioactive compounds, have cardioprotective effects.
