Impact of epicardial adipose tissue on myocardial function and structure in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to adverse remodelling and outcomes in aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet mechanisms remain unclear. In 137 patients with severe AS undergoing CMR before TAVR, higher EAT (≥46.5 ml/m2) was associated with impaired left atrial (LA) reservoir strain, while ventricular morphology, function and tissue ...

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tachycardia‐induced cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of heart failure (HF) driven by arrhythmias, often atrial fibrillation (AF). While reversible, TCM's long‐term prognosis remains unclear, especially in comparison to HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on the pulmonary circulation in lung cancer patients

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective against various cancers, but as more patients receive these therapies, more immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) emerge. Recent studies have suggested that ICIs are associated with an increase in pulmonary artery diameter and the ratio between pulmonary artery diameter and aortic diameter ...
