    Abstract Heart failure is a clinical syndrome with significant heterogeneity in presentation and severity. Serial risk-stratification and prognostication can guide management decisions, particularly in advanced heart failure, when progression toward advanced therapies or end-of-life care is warranted. Each currently utilized prognostic marker carries its own set of challenges in acquisition, reproducibility, accuracy, and significance. Left ventricular ejection fraction is foundational for heart failure syndrome classification after clinical diagnosis and remains the primary parameter for inclusion in most clinical trials; however, it does not consistently correlate with symptoms and functional capacity, which are also independently prognostic in this patient population. Utilizing the left ventricular ejection fraction as the sole basis of prognostication provides an incomplete characterization of this condition and is prone to misguide medical decision-making when used in isolation. In this review article, we survey and exposit the important role of metabolic exercise testing across the heart failure spectrum, as a complementary diagnostic and prognostic modality. Metabolic exercise testing, also known as cardiopulmonary exercise testing, provides a comprehensive evaluation of the multisystem (i.e., neurological, respiratory, circulatory, and musculoskeletal) response to exercise performance. These differential responses can help identify the predominant contributors to exercise intolerance and exercise symptoms. Additionally, the aerobic exercise capacity (i.e., oxygen consumption during exercise) is directly correlated with overall life expectancy and prognosis in many disease states. Specifically in heart failure patients, metabolic exercise testing provides an accurate, objective, and reproducible assessment of the overall circulatory sufficiency and circulatory reserve during physical stress, being able to isolate the concurrent chronotropic and stroke volume responses for a reliable depiction of the circulatory flow rate in real time.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex and heterogeneous condition of multiple causes, characterized by a clinical syndrome resulting from elevated left ventricular filling pressures, with an apparently unimpaired left ventricular systolic function. Although HFpEF has been long recognized as a distinct entity with significant morbidity for patients, its diagnosis remains challenging to this day. In recent years, few diagnostic algorithms have been postulated to aid in the identification of this condition. Invasive hemodynamic and metabolic evaluation is often warranted for the conclusive diagnosis and risk stratification of HFpEF, in patients presenting with undifferentiated DOE.
    Recent findings: Rest and provoked hemodynamics remain the golden-standard diagnostic tool to unequivocally confirm the diagnosis of both established and incipient HFpEF, respectively. Cycle exercise hemodynamics is the paramount provocative maneuver to unveil this condition. Rapid saline loading does not offer a significant benefit over that of cycle exercise. Vasoactive agents can also uncover and confirm incipient HFpEF disease. The role of metabolic evaluation in patients presenting with idiopathic dyspnea on exertion (DOE) is of unparalleled value for those who have expertise in cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) interpretation; however, the average clinician who focuses solely on oxygen consumption will find it underwhelming. Invasive CPET stands alone as the ultimate diagnostic tool to discriminate between pulmonary, cardiovascular, and skeletal muscle disorders, and their respective contribution to DOE and exercise intolerance.
    Summary: Several hemodynamic and metabolic parameters have demonstrated not only strong diagnostic value, but also predictive power in HFpEF. Additionally, these diagnostic methods have given rise to several therapeutic interventions that are now part of our clinical armamentarium. Regrettably, due to the heterogeneity and multicausality of HFpEF, none of the targeted interventions have been so far successful in decreasing the mortality burden of this prevalent condition.

    Objectives: This study sought to investigate the prognostic value of alternative nonmetabolic exercise testing parameters in a contemporary cohort with HFrEF.
    Methods: Medical records of 1,067 consecutive patients with chronic HFrEF who underwent CPET from December 2012 to September 2020 were reviewed for a primary outcome that was a composite of all-cause mortality, left ventricular assist device implantation, and/or heart transplantation. Multivariable Cox regression and log-rank testing were used to determine prognostic values of various exercise testing variables.
    Results: The primary outcome was identified in 331 of 954 patients (34.7%) of the HFrEF cohort (median follow-up time, 946 days). After adjustment for demographics, cardiac parameters, and comorbidities, higher hemodynamic gain index (HGI) and peak rate-pressure product (RPP) were associated with greater event-free survival (adjusted HR per doubling: 0.76 and 0.36; 95% CI: 0.67-0.87 and 0.28-0.47; all P < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, HGI (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.65-0.72) and peak RPP (AUC: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.68-0.74) were comparable to the standard peak Vo
    Conclusions: HGI and peak RPP show good correlation with peak Vo

    Abstract We show that epigenome- and transcriptome-wide association studies (EWAS and TWAS) are prone to significant inflation and bias of test statistics, an unrecognized phenomenon introducing spurious findings if left unaddressed. Neither GWAS-based methodology nor state-of-the-art confounder adjustment methods completely remove bias and inflation. We propose a Bayesian method to control bias and inflation in EWAS and TWAS based on estimation of the empirical null distribution. Using simulations and real data, we demonstrate that our method maximizes power while properly controlling the false positive rate. We illustrate the utility of our method in large-scale EWAS and TWAS meta-analyses of age and smoking.

    Abstract Background: Previous work has shown sex-related differences in cardiopulmonary responses in patients with heart failure (HF); however, sex differences following heart transplant (HTx) have not been examined. Thus, we hypothesized women would demonstrate lower peak oxygen uptake (VO
    Methods: HTx patients with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between 2007 and 2016 were included. Pre-HTx CPET occurred within 24 months pre-HTx with post-HTx CPET within 12 months following HTx. VO
    Results: Eighty-eight patients (Men [M]: n = 63, age: 55 ± 12 years; Women [W]: n = 25, age: 47 ± 11 years) were assessed. Pre-HTx VO
    Conclusions: These data demonstrate that cardiopulmonary improvements following HTx patients occur for both sexes. Importantly, women show similar significant functional improvements following HTx compared with men.

    Abstract Purpose: Children exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in utero are at risk for developmental problems. Maternal epilepsy, its impact on the family system, and other family factors may also contribute. We reviewed the possible associations between family factors and developmental outcome in children who had been exposed to AED during pregnancy.
    Methods: We conducted a narrative review and searched MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO on the following terms: in utero exposure, pregnancy outcome, and AEDs. A family factor framework (the ABCX model) served as the basis to review distinct family factors in children who were exposed to AEDs in pregnancy.
    Results: Few studies have investigated these factors. Mothers with epilepsy have problems caring for themselves and for the child and experience more parenting stress. There is a paucity of studies of the possible impact of family factors on the neurocognitive and behavioral development of children of mothers with epilepsy.
    Discussion: Further work is required to ascertain which family factors are associated with child development in addition to the effects of AED exposure and their potential interaction. As epilepsy may have considerable impact on intrafamily factors and as children are especially vulnerable to such effects, study designs incorporating family factors should be encouraged.
