Quality of life after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair: results from the Tri.FR trial

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first randomised trials to demonstrate that transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (T‐TEER) yields substantial and sustained improvements in quality of life across multiple domains, beyond clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.

Quality of life in heart failure. The heart of the matter. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association and the European Association of Preventive Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
For most patients with chronic, progressive illnesses, maintaining good quality of life (QoL), with preserved functional capacity, is just as crucial as prolonging survival. Patients with heart failure (HF) experience much worse QoL and effort intolerance than both the general population and people with other chronic conditions, since they present a ...

Stochastic elastohydrodynamics of soft valves [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Soft valves serve to modulate and rectify flows in complex vasculatures across the tree of life, e.g. in the heart of every human reading this. Here we consider a minimal physical model of the heart mitral valve modeled as a flexible conical shell capable of flow rectification via collapse and coaptation in an impinging (reverse) flow.

New cardiovascular biomarkers in patients with advanced cancer – A prospective study comparing MR‐proADM, MR‐proANP, copeptin, high‐sensitivity troponin T and NT‐proBNP

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
(A) Univariable receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for all biomarkers. (B) Kaplan–Meier curves for best cut‐point of mid‐regional pro‐adrenomedullin (MR‐proADM) for survival (n = 442). AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; hsTnT, high‐sensitivity troponin T; MR‐proANP, mid‐regional pro‐atrial natriuretic ...

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

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance‐estimated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, congestion markers, and effect of empagliflozin in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and dysglycaemia (SUGAR‐DM‐HF)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims A cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) approach to non‐invasively estimate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure was recently developed and shown to correlate with invasively measured pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). We examined the association between CMR‐estimated PCWP (CMR‐PCWP) and other imaging and biomarker measures of
