Degradation of islet amyloid polypeptide by neprilysin [PDF]
A progressive loss of pancreatic beta cell function, a decrease in beta cell mass and accumulation of islet amyloid is characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main constituent of islet amyloid is islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). In this study, we examined the ability of the peptidase neprilysin to cleave IAPP and prevent human IAPP-induced ...

Abstract Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in heart failure (HF). We analysed factors associated with new‐onset atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure using linked real‐world UK data from primary and secondary care, along with findings from genome‐wide association studies. Methods and results Among 163 174 participants

Association between soluble neprilysin and diabetes: Findings from a prospective longitudinal study
BackgroundThe potential role of neprilysin (NEP) in glucose metabolism has been found by basic studies but lacks population evidence. The objective of this study was to examine the association between serum NEP and diabetes in Chinese adults.MethodsIn a ...

Asymptomatic reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (AMI) was associated with up to 20% 1‐year mortality after discharge, substantially higher than in recent post‐MI trials. Symptoms of heart failure (HF) during the index hospitalization was associated with worse outcomes in patients with preserved

Potential of valsartan+sacubitril therapy in hypertensive heart disease
The course of hypertension is often complicated by left ventricular hypertrophy (or hypertensive heart disease, HHD). The main “corridor” of natural HHD is development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Type of atrial fibrillation and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction [PDF]
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in heart failure (HF), but the outcome by type of AF is largely unknown. Objectives: This study investigated outcomes related to type of AF (paroxysmal, persistent or permanent, or new onset) in 2 ...
