Cardiac surgery in a patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis and heart valvulopathy, both due to pergolide medication for Parkinson's disease

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2009
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is best described as a chronic inflammatory process which may be idiopathic, but can rarely be brought about by medications, such as pergolide, used for treating Parkinson's disease.

European Journal of Heart Failure expert consensus statement on transcatheter treatment of mitral regurgitation in heart failure

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The patient with SMR: From diagnostic assessment to treatment. Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF), associated with poor prognosis, and its treatment is typically preceded by implementing pharmacotherapy for HF as well as cardiac resynchronization therapy.

A U‐shaped relationship between left ventricular ejection fraction and risk of worsening heart failure

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
A U‐shaped relationship between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and clinical outcomes. A U‐shaped relationship can be observed between LVEF, the primary outcome, and the cardiovascular‐related outcomes, including cardiovascular death and the risk of worsening heart failure (HF).
