Constrictive pericarditis in childhood [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1971
Five children with constrictive pericarditis are described. All underwent surgery to release the restricted heart, and two died. Tuberculosis still plays a major role in the aetiology of this disease; it was proven in one patient and suspected in two others. No other aetiological factors were identified. Clinically, constrictive pericarditis does not

Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

A two‐phase approach to identifying HFpEF in heart failure patients: Risk score evaluation and decision tree development

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its complex aetiology and overlapping symptoms with other HF types. The heterogeneity of HFpEF, compounded by frequent comorbidities, complicates diagnosis. This study aimed to enhance HFpEF prediction through a two‐phase approach: a

Update on preclinical models of cancer therapy‐related cardiac dysfunction: Challenges and perspectives. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC, the ESC Council of Cardio‐Oncology, and the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...
