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

Angiotensin receptor/Neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) have shown to considerably improve the clinical outcome of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Identifying individuals who may benefit from ARNI the most could markedly enhance patient management.

Clinical characteristics and long‐term outcomes in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Aims As a special type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical HCM (ApHCM) has different clinical characteristics while its nature history and prognosis are not well recognized. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ApHCM and identify predictors of adverse outcomes.

Prognostic value of left atrial strain in acute and chronic heart failure: A meta‐analysis
The prognostic evaluation of heart failure (HF) beyond ejection fraction remains challenging. Moreover, reliable prognosticators in chronic HF sometimes lose their value in acute settings or vice versa. Speckle tracking echocardiography offers new sensitive parameters for prognostic stratification in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection ...
