Article Synopsis
- The study investigates heart failure (HF) hospitalization in France post-pandemic, focusing on incidence, prevalence, patient characteristics, management, and outcomes based on sex, age, and socio-economic status.
- Utilizing a comprehensive health care database, findings reveal a prevalence rate of 1.7% in France, with an overall decrease in acute HF decompensation incidence since 2012, particularly among men under 45.
- Despite improvements in management and a decline in one-year rehospitalization rates, one-year mortality rates remain high, especially among younger women and the most deprived areas.

Leriglitazone is a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier and, in preclinical models, improved mitochondrial function and energy production. We assessed effects of leriglitazone in patients with FRDA in a proof-of-concept study.
