Cardiac Remodeling Pattern In Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Underwent Arni Treatment
Angiotension receptor -Neprilisyn inhibitiors; sacubitril-valsartan (ARNI) treatment is important in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, studies on the effects of ARNI and cardiac remodeling patterns are lacking. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

The Outcome Of Acute Heart Failure In Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) have abnormal diastolic function, which impairs ventricular filling and increase filling pressure, despise a normal or small ventricular cavity. This work aimed to study the clinical outcome of acute heart failure in patients with HOCM. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Interaction Between Door To Diuretic Time And Dosing As A Predictor Of Mortality And Readmission
A delayed door-to-diuretic time (D2D), defined as the amount of time from hospital presentation to the administration of intravenous diuretic, is a predictor of serious adverse events among patients with acute heart failure (AHF). In addition to timing, the DOSE Trial demonstrated under dosing was also associated with adverse events. Previous investigations have not examined an interaction effect between timing and dosing. We hypothesized that those with the longest delays and lowest dose would have higher 30-day mortality and readmission compared to those with the shortest delays and highest dose.

Low Utilization Of Nuclear Scintigraphy For Cardiac Amyloidosis Evaluation Among Patients With Aortic Stenosis Referred For Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Due to high prevalence of ATTR cardiomyopathy among patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), routine screening using nuclear scintigraphy with bone-avid radiotracers has been recommended in this population. Real-world adoption of these recommendations, however, is variable and is incompletely characterized, especially at programs in non-North American or European countries. Accordingly, we aimed to describe the utilization of Tc-99m pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy in patients undergoing TAVR at a tertiary referral center in the Middle East.

Symptoms And Complications Significantly Increase The Logistic And Economic Burden Of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Results From Medical And Pharmacy Claims Data
About 2/3 of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have obstructive hemodynamics (oHCM) and there is limited evidence on the complication burden of this disease. Therefore, the Symphony Integrated Dataverse medical and pharmacy claims database was utilized to understand the impact of symptoms and complications in oHCM on health care logistics and economics.

Patients With Amyloidosis Undergoing Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair Have Greater Risk Of Mortality And Higher Resource Utilization, Nation-wide Study
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive approach in the treatment of primary mitral regurgitation. Amyloidosis is a rare condition caused by misfolded protein fibrils deposition in the extracellular space. There is limited evidence of clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for TEER and affected by amyloidosis. Hence, we sought to investigate this population. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Impact Of Covid-19 Pandemic And Expansion Of Telemedicine On Palliative Care Utilization Among Patients Admitted With Heart Failure
The 2022 ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines recommend integration of palliative care (PC) in heart failure (HF) management. Despite these recommendations, palliative care (PC) utilization remains suboptimal. It remains unclear how the evolution of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted PC delivery for the HF population. We sought to evaluate trends in telemedicine and in-person PC visits in the HF population during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Maternal And Fetal Outcomes In Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is increased ventricular mass which can be septal or apical in the absence of hypertension or aortic stenosis. More than 15 mm is classified as moderate and more than 20 mm is severe. HCM is an autosomal dominant disease that affects sarcomere proteins which leads to myocardial disarray and fibrosis. Symptoms include syncope, arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death, and heart failure. Pregnant HCM patients pose greater risk if they have preexisting LV outflow obstruction.

A Paradoxical Relationship Between Hemodynamic Markers Of Right Ventricular Function And Outcomes In Patients Undergoing Lung Transplantation With Pulmonary Hypertension
Lung transplantation is the therapy of choice for end-stage lung disease, and right heart catheterization (RHC) is routinely done for risk stratification prior to lung transplant. Limited data exists on the hemodynamic signatures from RHC by disease etiology in these patients, particularly if hemodynamic markers of right ventricular (RV) function are associated with clinical outcomes. We sought to define hemodynamics and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing lung transplantation at a large tertiary academic center in South Texas. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Uncorrected Truncus Arteriosus In The Forth Decade Of Life - Managing Suprasystemic Pulmonary Hypertension In A Natural Survivor
Truncus arteriosus is a rare cyanotic congenital heart disease (1.5%). That has a poor prognosis if not treated surgically in early childhood. In this disorder, blood is pumped from the heart to the systemic, pulmonary, and coronary circulations via a single trunk located above the interventricular septum.

Cannabidiol As A Potential Treatment For Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial syndrome associated with multiple non-cardiac comorbidities that contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease. HFpEF now makes up approximately 60% of HF cases, which highlights the need to develop additional evidence-based therapies. Cannabidiol (CBD) has shown beneficial cardioprotective effects preventing pathological changes as well as anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, however, the mechanisms involved have not been fully defined.

Sex Differences In Troponin In Covid-19 Patients
Sex differences are important across many diseases including cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. There have been numerous studies looking at biomarkers of disease finding that biomarkers can have sex-specific cut-offs as well as predictability. Previous reports indicate that more men develop COVID-19 and have more severe disease, which may indicate a differential response to SARS-CoV-2. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)
