Myocardial perfusion in cardiac amyloidosis
ConclusionCardiac amyloidosis is associated with severe inducible myocardial ischaemia demonstrable by histology and CMR stress perfusion mapping. Histological evaluation indicates a complex pathophysiology, where in addition to systolic and diastolic dysfunction, amyloid infiltration of the epicardial arteries and disruption and rarefaction of the capillaries play a role in contributing to myocardial ischaemia.

Early changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate post ‐initiation of empagliflozin in EMPEROR‐Preserved
ConclusionAn initial relatively small eGFR decrease may be expected after empagliflozin initiation. Such small eGFR decrease was not associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes with empagliflozin. In contrast, eGFR decrease was associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes with placebo.

Clinical phenogroup diversity and multiplicity: impact on mechanisms of exercise intolerance in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
ConclusionsThough cardiac output response to exercise is limited in patients with HFpEF compared to those with non-cardiac dyspnoea, the relative contributions of cardiac and peripheral limitations vary with differing numbers and types of clinical phenotypic traits present. Patients fulfilling criteria for greater multiplicity and diversity of HFpEF phenogroup traits have poorer exercise capacity, worsening haemodynamic perturbations, and greater risk for adverse outcome.

Independent prognostic importance of blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio in heart failure
ConclusionHigher BUN/creatinine ratio was associated with worse outcomes in patients with chronic HF across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction, independently of eGFR and NT-proBNP. BUN/creatinine ratio may reflect neurohumoral activation (especially increased arginine vasopressin), altered renal blood flow or other pathophysiologic mechanisms not incorporated in conventional prognostic variables.

Blood pressure levels and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in heart failure: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that lower and normal baseline SBP levels (<130,<120, and < 110 mmHg) may be associated with future risk of worse outcomes in patients with HF. Optimal baseline blood pressure levels for these patients may lie within the range of ≥140 mmHg for SBP. In the absence of observational studies with repeated blood pressure measurements or definitive trials evaluating optimal blood pressure targets, individualized blood pressure targets based on patients' unique circumstances are warranted in HF management.
