Right ventricular global work efficiency: A reliable non‐invasive estimate of right ventricular contractility

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The figure illustrates the study design and key findings related to right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH). Patients were stratified into two groups: those with PH (n = 53) and those without PH (n = 49), as determined by right heart ...

A long-term survivor of Bland-White-Garland syndrome with systemic collateral supply: A case report and review of the literature

BMC Surgery, 2005
Background land-White-Garland syndrome (anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery) is a rare disease which may result in myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and sometimes death during the early infantile period ...

Effect of inferior caval valve implantation on circulating immune cells and inflammatory mediators in severe tricuspid regurgitation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Abstract Background Interventional valve implantation into the inferior vena cava (CAVI) lowers venous congestion in patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We evaluated the impact of a reduction of abdominal venous congestion following CAVI on circulating immune cells and inflammatory mediators.

Haemodynamic consequences of acute pulmonary embolism predict risk of CTPA‐related acute kidney injury

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract summarizes that normotensive APE patients with elevated NT‐proBNP levels and higher BOVA scores are at increased risk of AKI and should be closely monitored for renal injury during hospitalization. Abstract Introduction Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is an important study in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary ...

Circulating endothelial cells and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 correlates with severity of regurgitation lesion and heart failure in rheumatic heart disease

Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine, 2015
Objective: This study aims to determine the correlation of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and circulating endothelial cells (CEC) with cardiac valves lesion severity and heart failure (HF) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Methods: A cross-sectional observational study using human peripheral blood samples of 36 children aged 6 to14 years ...

A simplified approach for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by assessing the left atrium and natriuretic peptides

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Applying a simplified left atrial/natriuretic peptide (LA/NP) approach by combining enlarged LA volume indexed for height2 or elevated (N‐terminal pro) B‐type natriuretic peptide [(NT‐pro)BNP], using different cut‐off values for sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF) history.

Clinical and plasma proteomic characterization of heart failure with supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction: An emerging entity of heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
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 ...
