Novel Therapies for Right Ventricular Failure.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Pediatric Advanced Heart Failure and Heart Transplant Program, University of Mississippi Medical Center, 2500 N State Street, Jackson, MS, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Traditionally viewed as a passive player in circulation, the right ventricle (RV) has become a pivotal force in hemodynamics. RV failure (RVF) is a recognized complication of primary cardiac and pulmonary vascular disorders and is associated with a poor prognosis. Unlike treatments for left ventricular failure (LVF), strategies such as adrenoceptor signaling inhibition and renin-angiotensin system modulation have shown limited success in RVF.

Reports (MDPI)
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.
Unlabelled: The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction, severe pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, and severe primary mitral regurgitation is rare and presents distinct management challenges.
Background And Clinical Significance: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy managed medically and often precludes patients from undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass due to increased surgical morbidity and mortality. In studies specifically evaluating surgical myectomy, however, survival is favorable in patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.
Emergency medicine updates: Sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema.
Am J Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA.
Introduction: Patients with heart failure exacerbation can present in a variety of ways, including sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema (SCAPE). Emergency physicians play a key role in the diagnosis and management of this condition.
Objective: This narrative review evaluates key evidence-based updates concerning the diagnosis and management of SCAPE for the emergency clinician.
Racism and Postpartum Blood Pressure in a Multiethnic Prospective Cohort.
Hypertension
February 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (M.B., O.O., M.M., E.A.H., L.D.L.), University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia.
Background: Postpartum hypertension is a key factor in racial-ethnic inequities in maternal mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that experiences of racism, both structural and interpersonal, may contribute to disparities. We examined associations between gendered racial microaggressions (GRMs) during obstetric care with postpartum blood pressure (BP).

BMC Cancer
January 2025
Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Background: Arterial hypertension is one of the most frequent comorbidities in patients with cancer. Studies have indicated that drugs used to control hypertension may alter cancer patient survival; however, epidemiological findings for their impact on cancer survival remain inconsistent. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the consumption of antihypertensive (AH) medication on the risk of death in cancer patients.
