The influence of comorbidities on achieving an N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide target: a secondary analysis of the GUIDE-IT trial.
ESC Heart Fail

Division of Cardiology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA.
Aims: N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) values may be influenced by patient factors beyond the severity of illness, including atrial fibrillation (AF), renal dysfunction, or increased body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that these factors may influence the achievement of NT-proBNP targets and clinical outcomes.
Methods: A total of 894 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction were enrolled in The Guiding Evidence-Based Therapy Using Biomarker Intensified Treatment trial.
The reservoir-wave approach to characterize pulmonary vascular-right ventricular interactions in humans.
J Appl Physiol (1985)

Department of Cardiac Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, and the Libin Institute of Cardiovascular Research, Calgary, Alberta, Canada;
Using the reservoir-wave approach (RWA) we previously characterized pulmonary vasculature mechanics in a normal canine model. We found reflected backward-traveling waves that decrease pressure and increase flow in the proximal pulmonary artery (PA). These waves decrease right ventricular (RV) afterload and facilitate RV ejection.
