The Dark Side of Licorice Consumption

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Licorice-induced apparent mineralocorticoid excess is a rare but reversible cause of hypertension and hypokalemia. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), found in licorice, inhibits 11β-HSD2, increasing renal cortisol and activating mineralocorticoid receptors.

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 912-922, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Prognostic impact of iron deficiency in new‐onset chronic heart failure: Danish Heart Failure Registry insights

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1346-1357, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Iron deficiency (ID) is prevalent in chronic heart failure (HF) but lacks a consensus definition. This study evaluates the prevalence and the prognostic impact of ID using different criteria on all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as first hospitalization for HF in patients with new‐onset chronic HF.

A Delphi consensus project to capture experts' opinion on hyperkalaemia management across the cardiorenal spectrum

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1132-1140, April 2025.
Abstract The main purpose of this project was to capture experts' opinion on hyperkalaemia management and form best practice recommendations for cardiorenal patients in Greece. A steering committee of nephrologists and cardiologists developed 37 statements. An online questionnaire completed by 32 experts in cardiorenal management in Greece.

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

ESC 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.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists reduce inflammatory signaling independent of myofiber mineralocorticoid receptor

Endocrine and Metabolic Science
Chronic inflammation is a feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a degenerative striated muscle disease. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists (MRAs) have demonstrated clinical benefit on later onset DMD cardiomyopathy, and preclinical ...
