Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a widespread issue that requires improved predictive tools for better treatment, particularly focusing on congestion, which leads to hospitalizations.
- The BioMEMS study, part of the MONITOR-HF trial, collects blood samples from participants to analyze the relationship between biomarker patterns and pulmonary artery pressures over time.
- By adopting a dynamic approach to biomarker measurement rather than relying on single baseline values, the study aims to enhance understanding of HF progression and tailor therapies for individual patients.

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in children and adults is a subject for discussion in terms of whether to treat it or not with respect to the short-term clinical implications and consequences of SH and in the long term. If treatment with thyroxine supplementation is not indicated, no other treatment is available. We investigated whether a lifestyle (dietary) intervention improves or normalizes SH or decreases the presence of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and/or tiredness.

Background: Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The role of immediate coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after restoration of spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains debated.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that immediate CAG and PCI, if indicated, will improve 90-day survival in post-cardiac arrest patients without signs of STEMI.
