Diagnosing or managing heart failure may still remain difficult. BNP and NT proBNP are neurohormones specifically secreted by myocytes. They have proved their effectiveness to improve clinician's diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing heart failure. BNP use is now recommended by European Society of Cardiology guidelines but multiplication of publications about BNP and NTProBNP show new possible applications for natriuretic peptides.

Association between lactate dehydrogenase levels and all-cause mortality in ICU patients with heart failure: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

Background: Heart failure (HF) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often face high short-term mortality rates. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with HF.
Methods: Data from the MIMIC-IV database were extracted for subjects eligible for HF diagnosis.
Impact of kidney volume on incidence of in-hospital kidney-related adverse outcomes in patients with acute heart failure.

Background: Recent studies revealed an association between small kidney volume and progression of kidney dysfunction in particular settings such as kidney transplantation and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. We hypothesized that kidney volume was associated with the incidence of kidney-related adverse outcomes such as worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.

Renal Denervation (RDN) has emerged over the last decade as a third pillar in the treatment of arterial hypertension, alongside pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications. Mechanistically, it reduces central sympathetic overactivation, a process also relevant to heart failure. In this mini-review, we summarize the development of RDN for heart failure, discuss the current evidence supporting its effects, and provide an outlook on future developments.

Anthracyclines are the cornerstone of treatment for many malignancies. However, anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a considerable concern given that it can compromise the clinical effectiveness of the treatment and patient survival despite early discontinuation of therapy or dose reduction. Patients with cancer receiving anthracycline treatment can have a reduction in their quality of life and likelihood of survival due to cardiotoxicity, irrespective of their oncological prognosis.
