Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Mitral Insufficiency with Congenital Double-Orifice Mitral Valve in an Elderly Patient [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2003
We describe the case of a 79-year-old woman with mitral insufficiency and a double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV), discovered by echocardiography. Transthoracic echocardiography showed two insufficiency jets. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a DOMV. Each orifice was provided with a subvalvular apparatus.

Exploring heart failure prevalence and dimensions: A comprehensive NT‐proBNP study in high‐risk primary care patients

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The diagnostic pathway of high‐risk primary care patients through NT‐proBNP. Abstract Introduction Early detection of heart failure (HF), particularly in asymptomatic individuals, is essential for timely intervention. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HF among high‐risk individuals in primary care using N‐terminal probrain natriuretic ...

Dapagliflozin effect on functional mitral regurgitation and myocardial remodelling: The DEFORM trial

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, and current guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) offers limited efficacy in managing FMR. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic impact of the sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin in patients with ...
