Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. Among patients with myocardial infarction, a 1-SD increase in pulse pressure was associated with a 1.60-fold

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 However, mortality rate is greater in HF cases developing >3 days following MI compared with less than or equal to 3 days after MI.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Aims Preventive strategies for heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) include pharmacotherapies and lifestyle modifications. All had no evidence of HF or myocardial infarction prior to completion of the ETT. Thus, we evaluated the association between CRF and HFpEF incidence.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Heart Failure: An Update

Circulation: Heart Failure

Spironolactone improved outcomes in patients with severely symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction, and later, eplerenone expanded the benefits to patients with mildly symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction and myocardial infarction complicated by HF.

Vericiguat combined with “new quadruple” therapy enhances cardiac function and life quality in patients with heart failure: a single-center prospective study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Patients diagnosed with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) were treated with Vericiguat combined with “ARNI, BB, MRA, SGLT2i” therapy. vs. 43.1 ± 8.5%, P < 0.01), LVEDD (60.5 ± 8.1 vs. 58.2 ± 7.3 mm, mm, P < 0.01), NT-proBNP (4,567.8 ± 5,163.9
