Renal insufficiency is common in patients with heart failure (HF), with both acute kidney injury and worsening renal function being associated with poor prognosis. The interplay between cardiac and renal failure has been termed the cardiorenal syndrome and is currently the subject of intense investigation. Urinary biochemistry has several advantages over blood or serum analyses, including lower costs, better patient comfort, and higher sensitivity to renal injury. However, urinalysis is currently not part of routine daily practice in cardiology. Recent advances in proteomics have allowed identification of numerous novel urinary biomarkers, many of which show promise in HF populations. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of both traditional and novel urinary biomarkers, examining evidence for diagnostic and prognostic value in HF as well as potential clinical utility.

Prognostic Value of Myocardial CT-ECV in Severe Aortic Stenosis Requiring Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging

January 2025

Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, Milan, Italy.

Aim: Computed tomography (CT)-derived extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a non-invasive method to quantify myocardial fibrosis. Evaluating CT-ECV during aortic valve replacement (AVR) planning CT in severe aortic stenosis (AS) may aid prognostic stratification. This meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic significance of CT-ECV in severe AS necessitating AVR.

We investigated the association of preimplant left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) with outcomes after HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Patients from the European Registry for Patients with Mechanical Circulatory Support (EUROMACS) registry who underwent HM3 implantation from August 2014 to February 2023 (n = 834) were analyzed according to preoperative LVEDD: less than or equal to 65 (n = 251), 65-80 (n = 441), and greater than or equal to 80 mm (n = 142). The mean age was 54.

Background: Phthalates, widely used as chemical additives, are often found as mixtures in the environment. However, the combined impact of phthalate exposure on sarcopenia remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between phthalates and sarcopenia in adults.

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) poses significant diagnostic challenges in the emergency room (ER) because of its varied clinical presentation and limitations of traditional diagnostic methods. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep-learning model using electrocardiogram (ECG) data to enhance AHF identification in the ER.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the ECG data of 19,285 patients who visited ERs of three hospitals between 2016 and 2020; 9,119 with available left ventricular ejection fraction and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide level data and who were diagnosed with AHF were included in the study.
