Left-to-right ventricular volume ratio and outcome in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
xamined all HFpEF outpatients undergoing a cardiac magnetic resonance from 2011 to 2021. The left-to-right ventricular volume ratio (LRVR) was defined as the ratio between the LV and right ventricle...
Conclusion: LRVR values less than 1.0 or at least 1.4 are associated with worse outcomes in HFpEF. LRVR may become a valuable tool for risk prediction in HFpEF.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists across the spectrum of heart failure - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37409733/
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) have been used to reduce body weight in overweight or people with obesity and to improve glycemic control and cardiovascular outcomes among people with...
Relevance: In this review, we summarize the evidence for the use of GLP-1 RA across patient’s risk with a particular focus in HF.

Clinical and Echocardiographic Correlates of Iron Status in Chronic Heart Failure Patients: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10321567/
Background: Chronic heart failure (HF) is one of the conditions commonly seen in the medical outpatient departments, and iron deficiency (ID) has been reported as the commonest nutritional deficiency in...
Conclusion: A spectrum of clinical changes occurs in patients with chronic HF. ID can make these changes more profound and the condition less amenable to standard HF treatments. These patients may therefore benefit from further evaluation for this nutritional deficiency. Laboratory measurements including Tsat and serum ferritin may help in...

The impacts of exercise interventions on inflammaging markers in overweight/obesity patients with heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352906723000659?via=ihub
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association of aerobic, resistance and concurrent exercises vs. control group on inflammaging...
Conclusions: The results confirmed that aerobic exercise and concurrent training interventions were effective to improve inflammaging markers of TNF-α, IL-6, and hs-CRP. These exercise-related anti-inflammaging responses were observed across ages (middle-aged and elderly-aged), exercise intensities, duration of follow-ups, and mean LVEFs...

Heart failure with reduced, mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction: outcomes and predictors of prognosis
Source : https://www.mp.pl/paim/issue/article/16522/
DOI: 10.20452/pamw.16522, Published online: June 30, 2023, Authors: Tomasz M. Rywik, Anna Wiśniewska, Urszula Cegłowska, Anna Drohomirecka, Roman Topór-Mądry, Hubert Łazarczyk, Paula Połaska, Tomasz Zieliński, Agnieszka Doryńska
Conclusions: Survival in HFrEF is worse compared to HFmrEF and HFpEF, which are similar. HF phenotypes differ in most of the parameters that affect survival.
