Inferolateral Fibrosis in a Nonhypertrophic Left Ventricle.

A 62-year-old recreational cyclist presented with transient loss of consciousness and common electrocardiographic findings. Despite absence of left ventricular hypertrophy, multidisciplinary evaluation and a positive family history led to the diagnosis of non-classical Fabry disease. This case emphasizes the added value of multidisciplinary analysis of nonspecific findings to diagnose a rare disease.

Prescribing patterns in older people with advanced chronic kidney disease towards the end of life.

Background: Advancing age and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are risk factors for polypharmacy. Polypharmacy is associated with negative healthcare outcomes. Deprescribing, the systematic rationalization of potentially inappropriate medications, is a proposed way of addressing polypharmacy.

Pancreatic cancer surveillance: Risk stratification of individuals with a germline CDKN2A pathogenic variant.

Background: Individuals carrying a germline CDKN2A pathogenic variant (PV) are at a high risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Risk stratification could allow tailored surveillance.

Objective: To develop a Fine-Gray prediction model for the risk of PDAC in carriers of a CDKN2A PV.

Dealing with an uncertain future: a survey study on what patients with chronic kidney disease actually want to know.

Background: Prognostic uncertainty is a recurring theme among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We developed a survey to explore whether CKD patients want to know more about their future, and if so, which topics they prioritize. In addition, we explored differences between several subgroups.
