MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Long-Term Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair With Artificial Chordae and Annuloplasty for Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease in Dogs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in dogs commonly progresses to congestive heart failure, which carries a poor prognosis. Mitral valve repair (MVR) is a recognized treatment for advanced‐stage MMVD. Hypothesis/Objectives Identify the risk factors and prognosis in dogs undergoing MVR.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.
