Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 2 Therefore, early identification of HF in high-risk populations, particularly post-MI, is essential for improving outcomes. HFrEF is more commonly.

Right ventricular function and anemia in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Multivariate linear regression analysis shows that the degree of anemia, atrial fibrillation, and TR were independently associated with the TAPSE/PASP ratio.ConclusionAnemia in HFpEF is associated with RV dysfunction, and this relationship is not affected by classical risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes.

Hypertensive pregnancy disorder, an under‐recognized women specific risk factor for heart failure?

European Journal of Heart Failure

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as a risk factor for heart failure. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) occur in almost 10% of gestations and preeclampsia, a more severe form, in 34%. Racial disparities in CV risk and social determinants of health also play an important role in their remote CV risk.

Can heart failure phenotypes be predicted by cardiac remodelling peripartum or postpartum?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Hypertension during pregnancy affects up to 10% of pregnancies and is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Finally, we explore how future cardiovascular risk may be predicted based on cardiac remodelling during or after pregnancy and suggest potential areas of further research in the field.

Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
