Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

The Ross procedure for everyone
Aortic valve replacement using a pulmonary homograft is a complex procedure which provides very good functional results in most patients. Negligible valve-related morbidity, freedom from anticoagulation, and the ability to accommodate growth make it

Oral Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles as Systemic Messengers: A Mouth–Gut–Systemic Axis Paradigm
ABSTRACT Oral microbiome dysbiosis not only associated with localized periodontal disease but also with multiple systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. However, the efficiency with which intact viable bacteria cross biological barriers to reach distant organs is ...
