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 ...

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

Diagnosis of mitral insufficiency using impedance cardiography technique ICG
Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive tool for assessing the hemodynamic parameters. It has been used for diagnosing several cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, cardio-myopathy, and valvular diseases. Particularly, the valvular heart

Pulmonary valve replacement in patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot [PDF]
Introduction: Development of pulmonary insufficiency in patients with surgically corrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may lead to severe right heart failure with serious consequences. We herein present our experience with pulmonary valve replacement (PVR)

Abstract Aims This study evaluated the prognostic value of the relative apical sparing pattern (RASP) of longitudinal strain (LS) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and investigated whether its combination with pre‐procedural biomarkers enhances risk stratification.

Rationale and design of the randomized ‘early ventricular assist device’—Trial (VAD‐DZHK3)
The VAD‐DZHK3 trial is a randomised controlled study evaluating whether elective LVAD implantation improves outcomes in end‐stage heart failure (HF) patients listed for heart transplantation compared with delayed implantation after clinical deterioration.

Abstract Aims Heart–lung transplantation (HLTx) remains a life‐saving intervention for patients with end‐stage cardiopulmonary failure. We retrospectively analysed long‐term HLTx outcomes at our centre to assess survival trends and evaluate the impact of evolving immunosuppressive, surgical and perioperative strategies.

The diagnosis of atrial cardiomyopathy (AtCM) requires electrical atrial dysfunction, with evidence of either mechanical atrial dysfunction, atrial enlargement, or excessive atrial fibrosis. The diagnostic cut‐points presented are for standard electrocardiogram and echocardiogram studies (see Figure 1 for further detail).

Rationale and design of the TRIC‐I‐HF‐DZHK24 (TRICuspid Intervention in Heart Failure) trial
Study overview of the TRIC‐I‐HF‐DZHK24 trial. HF, heart failure; HFH, heart failure hospitalization; QoL, quality of life; RHC, right heart catheterization; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; TTVI, transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention. Abstract Aims Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a detrimental disease frequently diagnosed in patients with right‐sided ...
