Interatrial shunt therapy in advanced heart failure: Outcomes from the open ‐label cohort of the RELIEVE‐HF trial
ConclusionInteratrial shunting with the Ventura device was safe and resulted in favourable clinical effects in patients with HF, regardless of LVEF. Improvements of left and right ventricular structure and function were consistent with reverse myocardial remodelling. These results would support the potential of this shunt device as a treatment for HF. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Cost ‐effectiveness of remote haemodynamic monitoring by an implantable pulmonary artery pressure monitoring sensor (CardioMEMS‐HF system) in chronic heart failure in the Netherlands
ConclusionsThe current cost-effectiveness study suggests that remote haemodynamic monitoring with PA-guided therapy on top of standard care is likely to be cost-effective for patients with symptomatic moderate-to-severe HF in the Netherlands. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Body mass index and cardiorenal outcomes in the EMPEROR ‐Preserved trial: Principal findings and meta‐analysis with the DELIVER trial
ConclusionsEmpagliflozin treatment resulted in broadly consistent cardiac effects across the range of BMI in patients with HFpEF. SGLT2i treatment yields benefit in patients with HFpEF regardless of baseline BMI. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Serial direct sodium removal in patients with heart failure and diuretic resistance
ConclusionsIn patients with HF and diuretic resistance, serial DSR therapy with loop diuretic withdrawal was feasible and associated with substantial and persistent improvement in diuretic resistance and several cardiorenal parameters. If replicated in randomized controlled studies, DSR may represent a novel therapy for diuretic resistance and CRS.Clinical Trial Registration: RED DESERT (NCT04116034), SAHARA (NCT04882358).

Proteomic profiles of left atrial volume and its influence on response to spironolactone: Findings from the HOMAGE trial and STANISLAS cohort
ConclusionIn individuals without heart failure, LAVi was associated with MMP-2, IGFBP-2 and NT-proBNP. Spironolactone reduced these biomarker concentrations as well as LAVi and PICP, irrespective of left atrial size. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)
