    Abstract HF Medications for Hypotension or CKDThe cornerstone of treatment for HF with reduced ejection fraction is GDMT; however, safely delivering maximal therapy is often hampered by low blood pressure, labile renal function, or both. Reviewing the physiologic basis of GDMT and exploring each drug's mechanism of action and unique properties can enable careful initiation and titration of therapy, even in patients with hypotension or CKD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Obesity is a strong risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF). Diet, exercise, and weight-loss pharmacotherapies have limited potential to achieve significant and sustainable weight loss, especially in patients with symptomatic systolic HF. This review seeks to determine the role of bariatric surgery for patients with systolic HF and obesity.
    Recent findings: Bariatric surgeries such as the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) represent the most successful long-term strategy for achieving weight loss and diabetes and hypertension remission in the general obese population. These benefits translate to reductions in cardiovascular events and mortality, as well as improvements in myocardial structure and function. There is also now data supporting the safety of LSG or RYGB in patients with systolic dysfunction and a reduction in HF admissions post-operatively. Current literature and clinical experience suggest that the most appropriate bariatric surgery candidates with HF are patients aged < 50-60 years, with severely depressed systolic function and NYHA II-III symptoms, who have failed non-surgical strategies and have a high likelihood of future cardiac transplantation candidacy after weight loss. This review seeks to determine the role of bariatric surgery for patients with systolic HF and obesity.

    Abstract Background: Noninvasive methods for surveillance of acute rejection are increasingly used in heart transplantation (HT), including donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA). As other cardiac biomarkers differ by sex, we hypothesized that there may be sex-specific differences in the performance of dd-cfDNA for the detection of acute rejection. The purpose of the current study was to examine patterns of dd-cfDNA seen in quiescence and acute rejection in male and female transplant recipients.
    Methods: Patients enrolled in the Genomic Research Alliance for Transplantation who were ≥18 years at the time of HT were included. Rejection was defined by endomyocardial biopsy with acute cellular rejection (ACR) grade ≥2R and/or antibody-mediated rejection ≥ pAMR 1. dd-cfDNA was quantitated using shotgun sequencing. Median dd-cfDNA levels were compared between sexes during quiescence and rejection. The performance of dd-cfDNA by sex was assessed using area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve. Allograft injury was defined as dd-cfDNA ≥0.25%.
    Results: One hundred fifty-one unique patients (49 female, 32%) were included in the analysis with 1,119 available dd-cfDNA measurements. Baseline characteristics including demographics and comorbidities were not significantly different between sexes. During quiescence, there were no significant sex differences in median dd-cfDNA level (0.04% [IQR 0.00, 0.16] in females vs 0.03% [IQR 0.00, 0.12] in males, p = 0.22). There were no significant sex differences in median dd-cfDNA for ACR (0.33% [0.21, 0.36] in females vs 0.32% [0.21, 1.10] in males, p = 0.57). Overall, median dd-cfDNA levels were higher in antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) than ACR but did not significantly differ by sex (0.50% [IQR 0.18, 0.82] in females vs 0.63% [IQR 0.32, 1.95] in males, p = 0.51). Elevated dd-cfDNA detected ACR/AMR with an AUROC of 0.83 in females and 0.89 in males, p-value for comparison = 0.16.
    Conclusions: There were no significant sex differences in dd-cfDNA levels during quiescence and rejection. Performance characteristics were similar, suggesting similar diagnostic thresholds can be used in men and women for rejection surveillance.
