Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) results from a complex interplay of age, genetic, cardiac remodeling, and concomitant comorbidities including hypertension, obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal is an important comorbidity HFpEF, as well major pathophysiological mechanism for those patients at risk developing HFpEF. (HF) CKD are intertwined conditions sharing common pathways; the so-called “kidney tamponade”, explained by increase in intracapsular...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment in selected patients suffering from heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It has been proposed that myocardial fibrosis and inflammation could influence CRT "response" outcome. Our study investigated the long-term prognostic significance of cardiac biomarkers HFrEF indication for CRT.Consecutive referred implantation were retrospectively evaluated. The soluble suppression tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), galectin-3...
