Abstract Aims Although comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is recommended for patients with heart failure (HF), participants often show low adherence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of CCR completion and response with long‐term clinical outcomes. Methods and results We screened 824 HF patients who participated in a 3 month

Objective. Apolipoprotein (a)/lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), a major carrier of oxidized phospholipids, and α7‐nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7‐nAChR) may play an important role in the development of coronary artery spasm (CAS). In CAS, the association between Lp(a) and the α7‐nAChR‐modulated inflammatory macrophage polarization and activation and smooth ...

Abstract Aims Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by sub‐clinical inflammation. Changes in selected biomarkers of inflammation concomitant with the release of pro‐inflammatory and anti‐inflammatory cytokines by neutrophils have not been investigated in patients with HFrEF.

A robust permutation test for the concordance correlation coefficient
Abstract In this work, we developed a robust permutation test for the concordance correlation coefficient (ρc) for testing the general hypothesis H0 : ρc = ρc(0). The proposed test is based on an appropriately studentized statistic. Theoretically, the test is proven to be asymptotically valid in the general setting when two paired variables are ...

Abstract Aims This study aimed to examine if the cardiac changes associated with uraemic cardiomyopathy are reversed by renal transplantation. Methods and results MEDLINE, Embase, OpenGrey, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from 1950 to March 2020. The primary outcome measure was left ventricular mass index.

Abstract Background In the failing heart, energy metabolism is shifted towards increased ketone body oxidation. Nevertheless, the association of beta‐hydroxybutyrate (β‐OHB) with development of heart failure (HF) remains unclear. We investigated the association between plasma β‐OHB and the risk of HF in a prospective population‐based cohort.

ECG Markers of Cardiovascular Toxicity in Adult and Pediatric Cancer Treatment
When a cardiologist is asked to evaluate the cardiac toxic effects of chemotherapy, he/she can use several tools: ECG, echocardiography, coronary angiography, ventriculography, and cardiac MRI. Of all these, the fastest and easiest to use is the ECG, which can provide information on the occurrence of cardiac toxic effects and can show early signs of ...
