Pickering syndrome, characterized by recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema (FPE) and renal impairment, is associated with renal artery stenosis (RAS). This case highlights its manifestation and management in an older adult patient. An 86-year-old woman with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and a single functioning kidney presented with recurrent FPE episodes.

Anatomically corrected malposition (ACM) of the great arteries is an exceedingly rare congenital heart disease. This conotruncal anomaly manifests with an L-malposition of the aorta (situs solitus, D loop, aorta to the left of the pulmonary artery) with normal ventriculoarterial concordance. A 14-month-old boy presented with an ACM associated with a ventricular septal defect that was successfully repaired.

Implantable hemodynamic devices like the CardioMEMS HF System are commonly used to manage fluid status in patients with heart failure (HF) by measuring pulmonary pressures. Although CardioMEMS has been shown to reduce HF hospitalizations, rare complications (eg, device endothelialization) can occur and warrant clinical attention. A 67-year-old woman with HF with preserved ejection fraction and group 2 pulmonary hypertension experienced recurrent HF exacerbations.

Background: European guidelines recommend initial monotherapy in PAH patients with cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities based on the limited of evidence for combination therapy in this growing population.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on incident PAH patients enrolled in the French Pulmonary Hypertension Registry between 2009 and 2020. Propensity score matching was used to investigate initial dual oral combination therapy oral monotherapy in patients with at least one CV comorbidity (, hypertension, obesity, diabetes and coronary artery disease).

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Sotatercept is a first-in-class activin signalling inhibitor that acts to restore the balance between the growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting signalling pathways.
Methods: This post-hoc, exploratory, pooled analysis combines data from the double-blind placebo periods of the phase 2 PULSAR (NCT03496207) and phase 3 STELLAR (NCT04576988) studies.
