Cardioprotective effects of semaglutide on isolated human ventricular myocardium
Semaglutide reduces late sodium current (INa) and diastolic calcium (Ca) sparks in human cardiomyocytes from aortic stenosis (AS) and end‐stage heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, thereby increasing Ca transients. Improved Ca storage may underly the enhanced contractility of human cardiomyocytes upon semaglutide.

Finerenone and glycaemic status in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced/preserved ejection fraction. CI, confidence interval; CV, cardiovascular; HF, heart failure; HR, hazard ratio; RR, rate ratio. Abstract Aims The efficacy and safety of the non‐steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, finerenone, have not been examined in patients

Bi-directional actions of estrogen on the renin-angiotensin system
Estrogen stimulates the renin-angiotensin system by augmenting both tissue and circulating levels of angiotensinogen and renin. We show, however, that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in the circulation and in tissues is reduced in two animal

Heart failure (HF) with supranormal ejection fraction (HFsnEF) is an unnoticed but emerging entity in HF. This study showed that HFsnEF carries a similarly increased cardiovascular risk as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and distinct structural and proteomic characteristics from HFrEF, warranting a further comprehensive understanding and ...

Influence of low and high pressure baroreceptors on plasma renin activity in humans [PDF]
The effects of low and high pressure baroreceptors on plasma renin activity (immunoassay) were evaluated using graded lower body suction (LBS) in six healthy men.

Lower extremity lymphatic flow is associated with diuretic response in acute heart failure
Lower extremity lymphatic flow and diuretic response in acute heart failure (AHF). IV, intravenous. (Created in BioRender) Abstract AimsThe dysfunctional lymphatic system appears to play an important role in the development and progression of congestion in heart failure. We hypothesized that in acute heart failure (AHF), diuretic efficacy is associated
