    Title translation Advances in heart failure treatment: a summary of 50 years of evolution.
    Abstract Management of heart failure is one of the most important challenges of modern medicine. Heart failure affects a large number of patients worldwide and its prevalence is increasing. The adoption of the methodology of randomized controlled trials has led to the identification of drugs and devices that prolong life and, in many cases, also yield a better quality of life. Improvement in the diagnostic techniques and devices has also led to better treatment of most major comorbidities, another strong driver of patient's symptoms and natural history. This article aims to provide an overview of the key events that have led to such improvement.

    Abstract Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a Herpesviridae family double-stranded DNA virus that only affects humans. The first clinical manifestation appears to be varicella, typical of childhood. VZV, on the other hand, becomes latent in ganglion neurons throughout the neuroaxis after primary infection. The VZV reactivates and travels along peripheral nerve fibers in the elderly and immunocompromised individuals, resulting in Zoster. It can, however, spread centrally and infect cerebral and extracranial arteries, resulting in vasculopathy, which can lead to transient ischemic attacks, strokes, aneurysms, cavernous sinus thrombosis, giant cell arteritis, and granulomatous aortitis. Although the mechanisms of virus-induced pathological vascular remodeling are not fully understood, recent research indicates that inflammation and dysregulation of ligand-1 programmed death play a significant role. Few studies, on the other hand, have looked into the role of VZV in cardiovascular disease. As a result, the purpose of this review is to examine the relationship between VZV and cardiovascular disease, the efficacy of the vaccine as a protective mechanism, and the target population of heart disease patients who could benefit from vaccination.

    Abstract Prevalence of heart failure is increasing worldwide mainly due to the ageing of the population and the improvement in diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, huge progress has been made in the management of heart failure patients. A new definition of chronic heart failure based on left ventricular ejection fraction and its possible trajectories has been reported. New drug classes have been introduced for the treatment of chronic heart failure. In particular, the prognostic benefit of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors was demonstrated across all the heart failure phenotypes. Therapies for patients with advanced heart failure (long-term mechanical circulatory supports and heart transplantation) are now indicated also in the case of mild-to-moderate symptoms but with high risk of progression. In patients with acute heart failure, monitoring of urinary sodium and the use of acetazolamide may lead to better decongestion. Importantly, pre- and postdischarge assessment should lead to optimal treatment. Devices and telemonitoring can also be of help. Cardiovascular and noncardiovascular comorbidities are major determinants of the clinical course and need proper management. This review will summarize these important advances.

    Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has a high prevalence, affecting more than 50% of patients with heart failure. HFpEF is associated with multiple comorbidities, and obesity is one of the most common. A distinct phenotype has been proposed for obese patients with HFpEF. Recent data show the beneficial role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for weight loss in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with obesity or overweight when given as adjunctive therapy to diet and exercise. The mechanisms of action are related to paracrine and endocrine signalling pathways within the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and central nervous system that delay gastric emptying, decrease appetite, augment pancreatic beta-cell insulin secretion, and suppress pancreatic glucagon release. These drugs are therefore potentially indicated for treatment of patients with HFpEF and obesity or overweight. Efficacy and safety need to be shown by clinical trials with a first one, Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (STEP HFpEF), recently concluded. The aim of the present review is to provide the pathophysiological and pharmacological rationale for GLP-1 RA administration to obese patients with HFpEF.

    Abstract Lots of meta-analysis emphasize that a great number of hospitalized patients with moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 developed acute myocardial damage, defined as an increase of cardiac biomarkers, such N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and of all type of troponins. The highest mortality rate is related with progressively increasing biomarkers levels and with a history of cardiovascular disease. In fact, the biomarkers dosage should be considered as a prognostic marker in all patients with COVID-19 disease at admission, during hospitalization and in the case of clinical deterioration. The purpose of this review is to evaluate cardiovascular prognostic factors in COVID-19 disease throughout the analysis of cardiac biomarkers to early identify the most serious patients and to optimize their outcomes.

    Abstract Device-related thrombus (DRT) is a known complication occurring in up to 7% of patients undergoing percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). Since the target population of LAAC is generally ineligible for oral anticoagulant therapies, DRT raises important concerns. The aim of this review will be to summarize available evidence on DRT after LAAC focusing on its possible impact on outcomes. Recent findings showed a tighter association between DRT and neurological ischemic events. Antithrombotic regimen adopted after LAAC may have a protective effect against DRT. Many patient-related and procedural factors have been identified as possible predictors of DRT. A tailored approach, which takes into account DRT, is needed in the patient selection for LAAC and in the postprocedural follow-up.

    Abstract Aims: In the latest years an emerging interest has risen towards the role of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF) since the very first steps of the disease. Since the prevalent etiology of HF is ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), it is still not clear whether the connection with ED is linked to HF itself or to atherosclerosis. The aim is to determine the presence of ED in subjects with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) compared to ICM.
    Methods: In this observational study 107 patients were enrolled, 65 of them suffering from IDCM and 42 from ICM. ED was assessed as peripheral arterial tonometry by means of EndoPAT device. The Reactive Hyperaemia Index (RHI) was calculated, ED being established with RHI values ≤1.67 and normal endothelial function >2.00 (grey area between 1.67 and 2.00).
    Results: ED, expressed both as RHI ≤1.67 and RHI ≤2.00, showed a similar prevalence in the two groups. However, they differed as regards sex, dyslipidemia and statin use.
    Conclusion: Endothelial function, evaluated through peripheral artery tonometry, seems equally compromised in patients with IDCM and ICM.
