Prognostic Value of Acute Vasoreactivity in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT Vasoreactivity, which refers to the reduction of mean pulmonary arterial pressure in response to inhaled vasodilators, is a well‐established metric for prognostication and treatment selection in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, the role of vasoreactivity in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is less studied ...

Reduces cardiac remodelling and apoptosis in dogs with MMVD stage B2: Long‐term treatment with ivabradine in dogs with asymptomatic myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) stage B2 reduced heart rate without impairing cardiac function. ABSTRACT Background Ivabradine, a specific funny channel blocker, has shown cardiovascular benefits in humans and ...

Association of P‐Wave Parameters With Left Atrial Hemodynamics in Atrial Cardiomyopathy
In the present study, the validity of seven established P‐wave parameters in relation to left atrial hemodynamics was investigated. Our study suggests that advanced IAB is the strongest indicator of altered left atrial hemodynamics and, thus, AtCM.

Association between CMR‐derived hepatic T1‐time, tricuspid regurgitation and survival
We investigated the association between tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity and hepatic T1‐time in 1029 patients undergoing cardiac MRI and echocardiography. Hepatic T1‐time increased progressively with TR severity and remained independently associated after adjusting for NT‐proBNP and right ventricular function. Both TR and hepatic T1‐time predicted

Age‐related differences in cardiogenic shock secondary to Takotsubo syndrome
In this multicenter study of 408 patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to Takotsubo syndrome (CS‐TTS), age emerged as a major determinant of clinical profile and prognosis, along with SCAI shock stage. Younger patients presented with more atypical features and received more intensive support but had better short‐ and long‐term outcomes.
