Prognostic impact of gait speed, muscle strength and muscle mass in chronic heart failure—A prospective cohort study

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The prognostic impact of the muscle parameters gait speed, handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle index on cardiovascular outcomes was investigated. We prospectively analyzed a cohort of 205 heart failure patients with a median left ventricular ejection fraction of 37% and a median follow‐up of 4.7 years.

Electron microscopic findings predict clinical outcomes in patients with non‐ischaemic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Electron microscopy reveals microstructural alterations in cardiomyocyte nuclei and myofilaments in non‐ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), particularly in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Nevertheless, the correlation between such observations and clinical outcomes, including prognosis and left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR), remains ...

Break down the barriers of auto‐inflammation: How to deal with a monogenic auto‐inflammatory disease and immuno‐haematological features in 2022?

Immunology, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 1-17, January 2023., 2023
In the past few years, the spectrum of monogenic systemic auto‐inflammatory diseases has widely expanded beyond the typical recurrent fever. Immuno‐haematological features, as cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, hypereosinophilia, lymphoproliferation and immunodeficiency, have been described in association of several MSAID.

Sensitivity and specificity of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor for diagnosing sarcoidosis in a population of patients suspected of sarcoidosis

PLoS ONE, 2019
Background The soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) has been proposed as a marker of disease activity in patients with sarcoidosis. However, no studies have evaluated whether serum sIL-2R measurement is of use in establishing the diagnosis of ...
