In the context of patients with severe heart failure, it is crucial to ensure adequate preconditioning before considering the implantation of dLVAD. Although several types of mechanical circulatory assist devices are available and all offer a significant advantage, the present study suggests that the higher the flow rate provided by the Impella®, the ...

Abstract Aims Plasma volume status (PVS) is recognized as a marker of systemic congestion, but its clinical utility in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair (M‐TEER) has not been well established. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PVS in these patients.

Dapagliflozin effect on functional mitral regurgitation and myocardial remodelling: The DEFORM trial
Abstract Aims Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, and current guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) offers limited efficacy in managing FMR. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic impact of the sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin in patients with ...

The prognostic evaluation of heart failure (HF) beyond ejection fraction (EF) and in acute settings is currently challenging. This meta‐analysis included 8 studies (5767 patients overall) investigating the prognostic value of left atrial (LA) strain in acute or chronic HF over a median follow‐up of 903 months.
