Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

Life-threatening hemoptysis following mitral valvuloplasty for rheumatic mitral stenosis

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Background: Massive hemoptysis is a rare complication of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Its recurrence following successful initial treatment of the stenosis has not, to our knowledge, been described.

Sparse incomplete representations: A novel role for olfactory granule cells [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Mitral cells of the olfactory bulb form sparse representations of the odorants and transmit this information to the cortex. The olfactory code carried by the mitral cells is sparser than the inputs that they receive. In this study we analyze the mechanisms and functional significance of sparse olfactory codes.

Novel three‐dimensional ECG algorithm for reliable screening for cardiac amyloidosis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The present manuscript describes the derivation and validation of an algorithm for screening of cardiac amyloidosis using 3‐dimensional ECG. The algorithm is based on a ECG vector loop, acquired over the duration of 15 seconds using 4 electrodes. With this easy to perform method, we describe a high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of cardiac ...

Exertional abdominal pain as a symptom of secondary pulmonary hypertension in mitral stenosis [PDF]

, 2013
We report a rare presentation of mitral stenosis (MS). MS is a common valvular disease, the first manifestation of which is usually easy fatigability and exertional dyspnea.

The risk of death according to left ventricular ejection fraction and right ventricular dilatation in 17 321 adults with heart failure from 40 high‐, middle‐ and low‐income countries – A Global Congestive Heart Failure (G‐CHF) study

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to describe the prognostic importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) versus right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) from countries of different income levels. Methods and results We enrolled 17 321 participants with HF from 40 countries.
