    A novel risk score to predict survival in advanced heart failure due to cardiac amyloidosis

    Cardiac amyloidosis, caused by deposition of immunoglobulin light chains (AL) or transthyretin (ATTR), carries a poor prognosis. Established risk scores for amyloidosis may not predict outcomes in those patien...

    Benefits of peritoneal ultrafiltration in HFpEF and HFrEF patients

    Peritoneal ultrafiltration (pUF) in refractory heart failure (HF) reduces the incidence of decompensation episodes, which is of particular significance as each episode incrementally adds to mortality. Neverthe...

    Implementation of an intensified outpatient follow-up protocol improves outcomes in patients with ventricular assist devices

    Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are increasingly used as long-term treatment for advanced heart failure. However, survival after VAD implantation is still unsatisfactory, and no specific outpatient follow-up ...

    Inducible cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of CaM kinase II protects from pressure overload-induced heart failure

    CaM kinase II (CaMKII) has been suggested to drive pathological cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, the evidence provided so far is based on inhibitory strategies using chemical compounds and peptid...
