Oral milrinone for management of refractory right ventricular failure in patients with left ventricular assist devices
ConclusionsOral milrinone appears safe for long-term use in the outpatient setting when combined with therapeutic monitoring in this complex medical cohort with limited management options. Further study is needed to ascertain whether this treatment is effective in reducing heart failure symptoms and admissions.

Very long ‐term prognosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a longitudinal study with a period of 20 years
ConclusionsIn our cohort of patients, HCM-related mortality was relatively favourable. However, approximately half of the patients suffered from HCM-related adverse events during the follow-up period of 20  years. It is important for HCM patients to be carefully followed up over the long-term because HCM is a lifelong disease.

Clinical significance of new ‐onset atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
ConclusionsIn our HCM registry in an aged Japanese community, a significant proportion developed AF. The presence of AF, particularly new-onset AF, was associated with increased incidence of HCM-related events. AF may not be just a marker of disease stage but an important trigger of adverse events.

Biventricular imaging markers to predict outcomes in non ‐compaction cardiomyopathy: a machine learning study
ConclusionsOur findings show the importance of biventricular assessment to detect the severity of this cardiomyopathy and to plan for early clinical intervention. In addition, this study shows that even patients with normal LV function and negative late gadolinium enhancement had MACE. ML is a promising tool for analysing a large set of parameters to stratify and predict prognosis in LVNC patients.

In ‐hospital ventricular arrhythmia in heart failure patients: 7 year follow‐up of the multi‐centric HEARTS registry
ConclusionsLower mean age of VA complicated HF patients is a matter of concern in the Saudi population. HF associated with VA increased in ‐hospital events and all‐cause mortality indicating poor prognosis and survival. These findings enable risk stratification and reflect on the importance of early recognition of the clinical markers and predictors of VA prompting immediate management.
