Cardiac Myosin Inhibition in Heart Failure With Normal and Supranormal Ejection Fraction

JAMA Cardiology

The EMBARK-HFpEF multicenter, open-label trial examines the effects of cardiac myosin inhibition with mavacamten in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 60% or greater.

50 yo with V fib has ROSC, then these 2 successive ECGs: what is the infarct artery?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A 50 yo was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation. He had a prehospital ECG recorded after ROSC: What do you think? This certainly looks like an anterior STEMI (proximal LAD occlusion), with STE and hyperacute T-waves (HATW) in V2-V6 and I and aVL. Although one may have all kinds of ischemic findings as a result of cardiac arrest (rather than cause of cardiac arrest), this degree of ST elevation and HATW is all but diagnostic of acute proximal LAD occlusion.

New FINEARTS-HF Analyses Further Explore Impacts of Finerenone in Patients With HFmrEF and HFpEF

American College of Cardiology

Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists like finerenone lower mortality in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but more data are needed for patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF). Findings from the recent FINEARTS-HF trial presented during the ESC Congress 2024 and more recently HFSA 2024 are helping to address this need.

Does Finerenone's Efficacy Diminish if Initiated Late in Heart Failure?

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- The benefit-risk profile of finerenone (Kerendia) for heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF, HFpEF) was arguably unchanged with delayed initiation, according to the FINEARTS-HF trial. An analysis.
