Evidence for Aldosterone Antagonism in Heart Failure

Cardiac Failure Review
Activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is the ultimate pathophysiological hallmark in heart failure. Though aldosterone primarily appears to regulate electrolyte homeostasis by acting on distal nephrons in the kidneys, its effects are far-

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.

Myosin Light Chain Phosphatase Plays an Important Role in Cardiac Fibrosis in a Model of Mineralocorticoid Receptor‐Associated Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 2 (MYPT2) is an important subunit of cardiac MLC (myosin light chain) phosphatase, which plays a crucial role in regulating the phosphorylation of MLC to phospho‐MLC (p‐MLC).

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Discontinuation of Heart Failure Pharmacotherapy in Older Adults With Frailty

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves outcomes in heart failure irrespective of frailty status. Nevertheless, the magnitude of frailty‐associated discontinuation of GDMT remains insufficiently studied.

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Resource management and clinical outcomes during a national intravenous fluid shortage

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A natural disaster, Hurricane Helene, damaged a production facility supplying 60% of intravenous (IV) fluids in the United States. A nationwide IV fluid shortage followed. Objectives To evaluate a multifaceted IV fluid conservation intervention's effect on IV fluid utilization and clinical outcomes during the shortage.
