This post hoc subgroup analysis examined efficacy and safety outcomes with extended thromboprophylaxis rivaroxaban compared with in-hospital enoxaparin in 2,078 patients from the MAGELLAN study who had a hospitalization for heart failure or a history of heart failure and a lower risk of bleeding. A significant 36% reduction in the composite endpoint of asymptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremity, symptomatic DVT in the lower extremity (proximal or distal), symptomatic nonfatal pulmonary embolism, and venous thromboembolism-related death was observed with rivaroxaban. Major bleeding was low in both groups and not significantly increased with rivaroxaban.

Background: Females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present at a more advanced stage of the disease and have a higher risk of heart failure and death. The factors behind these differences are unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-related differences in clinical and genetic factors affecting adverse outcomes in the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome associated with a multitude of conditions. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced AKI, its implementation can potentially pose risks and may not be readily accessible across all healthcare settings and regions. Elevated lactate levels are implicated in sepsis-induced AKI; however, it remains unclear whether increased lactate directly induces AKI or elucidates the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Heart failure (HF) has become a public healthcare concern with significant costs to countries because of the aging world population. Acute heart failure (AHF) is a common condition faced frequently in emergency departments, and patients often present to hospitals with complaints of breathlessness. The patient must be evaluated with anamnesis, physical examination, blood, and imaging results to diagnose AHF.

Copper is an essential micronutrient involved in various physiological processes in various cell types. Consequently, dysregulation of copper homeostasis-either excessive or deficient-can lead to pathological changes, such as heart failure (HF). Recently, a new type of copper-dependent cell death known as cuproptosis has drawn increasing attention to the impact of copper dyshomeostasis on HF.

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to pressure or volume overload such as hypertension and ischemic heart diseases. Sustained cardiac hypertrophy eventually leads to heart failure. The pathophysiological alterations of hypertrophy are complex, involving both cellular and molecular systems.
