Pleural effusion in severe aortic stenosis: marker of an adverse haemodynamic constellation and poor prognosis
ConclusionsIn severe AS patients, the presence of PE, particularly bilateral PE, is a marker of a poor haemodynamic constellation. Bilateral PE is associated with a substantially increased post-AVR mortality. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Radiofrequency catheter ablation for pulmonary hypertension patients with atrial flutter
ConclusionRepeat ablation was safe and feasible in patients with recurrent AFL and can maintain sinus rhythm. AFL recurrence was not associated with all-cause mortality, and patients with high PASP or IPAH were at higher risk for adverse outcomes. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Circulating 3 ‐hydroxy butyrate predicts mortality in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
ConclusionsIn patients with HFrEF, circulating 3-OHB was a strong predictor of all-cause mortality independently of NT-proBNP. Circulating FFAs were the best predictor of 3-OHB levels. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Long ‐term outcomes and reverse remodelling in recently diagnosed unexplained left ventricular systolic dysfunction
ConclusionsLVRR occurs in over half of patients with recent onset unexplained LV systolic dysfunction during first 2 years of optimally guided heart failure therapy and then remains relatively stable during 5-year follow-up. Normalization of adverse LV remodelling corresponds to a low rate of mortality and heart failure hospitalizations during long-term follow-up. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Effectiveness and safety of ivabradine in Chinese patients with chronic heart failure: an observational study
ConclusionsIvabradine treatment reduced HR and improved cardiac function and health-related quality of life in Chinese patients with chronic HF. Benefits were seen irrespective of whether or not patients were also taking ARNIs or beta-blockers. Treatment was well tolerated with a similar profile to previous ivabradine studies.

The correlation between albumin ‐corrected anion gap and prognosis inpatients with acute myocardial infarction
ConclusionsElevated serum ACAG ( ≥20 mmol/L) is an independent risk factor for short-term and long-term mortality in critically ill patients with AMI, and it may assist clinicians and nurses identifying high-risk patients. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Changes over time in patient ‐reported outcomes in patients with heart failure
ConclusionIn total, 79% of the patients with HF encountered problems related to sleep, depressive symptoms, HrQoL, and well-being at least once during a 1-year period. This underscores the need for continuous monitoring and follow-up of patients with HF and the need for dynamic adjustments in treatment and care regularly throughout the HF trajectory.

Invasive haemodynamics at rest and exercise in cardiac amyloidosis
ConclusionsMost patients with ATTR-CM have isolated post-capillary or combined pre- and post-capillary PH at rest, and almost all patients develop exercise-induced PH with a large post-capillary component. There was a pronounced, but balanced increase in atrial pressures on exercise. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Role of vericiguat in management of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction after worsening episode
AbstractWorsening heart failure (HF) is a vulnerable period in which the patient has a markedly high risk of death or HF hospitalization (up to 10% and 30%, respectively, within the first weeks after episode). The prognosis of HF patients can be improved through a comprehensive approach that considers the different neurohormonal systems, with the early introduction and optimization of the quadruple therapy with sacubitril –valsartan, beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and inhibitors. Despite that, there is a residual risk that is not targeted with these therapies. Currently, it is recognized that the ...

Kidney and heart failure events are bidirectionally associated in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate a bidirectional inter-relationship between HHF and kidney events. Further exploration of this relationship and strategies to optimize the use of therapies to reduce both kidney and HF outcomes is warranted. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)
