    Abstract Aims: To assess the agreement between left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index (LVEDDi) and volume index (LVEDVi) to define LV dilatation and to investigate the respective prognostic implications in patients with heart failure (HF).
    Methods and results: Patients with HF symptoms and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were evaluated retrospectively. LV dilatation was defined as LVEDDi or LVEDVi above the upper normal limit according to published reference values. Patients were followed-up for the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization during 5 years. A total of 564 patients (median age 64 years; 79% men) were included. LVEDDi had a modest correlation with LVEDVi (r = 0.682, p < 0.001). LV dilatation was noted in 84% of patients using LVEDVi-based definition and in 73% using LVEDDi-based definition, whereas 20% of patients displayed discordant definitions of LV dilatation. During a median follow-up of 2.8 years, patients with both dilated LVEDDi and LVEDVi had the highest cumulative event rate (HR 3.00, 95% CI 1.15-7.81, p = 0.024). Both LVEDDi and LVEDVi were independently associated with the primary outcome (hazard ratio 3.29, 95%, p < 0.001 and 2.8, p = 0.009; respectively).
    Conclusions: The majority of patients with HF and LVEF < 50% present both increased LVEDDi and LVEDVi whereas 20% show discordant linear and volumetric definitions of LV dilatation. Patients with increased LVEDDi and LVEDVi have the worst clinical outcomes suggesting that the assessment of these two metrics is needed for better risk stratification.

    Abstract Background: Limited data are available on the long-term trajectory of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic heart failure.
    Objectives: The authors evaluated eGFR dynamics using the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and its prognostic significance in a real-world cohort over a 15-year follow-up.
    Methods: A prospective observational registry of ambulatory heart failure outpatients was conducted, with regular eGFR assessments at baseline and on a 3-month schedule for ≤15 years. Urgent kidney function assessments were excluded. Locally weighted error sum of squares curves were plotted for predefined subgroups. Multivariable longitudinal Cox regression analyses were conducted to assess associations with all-cause and cardiovascular death.
    Results: A total of 2,672 patients were enrolled consecutively between August 2001 and December 2021. The average age was 66.8 ± 12.6 years, and 69.8% were men. Among 40,970 creatinine measurements, 28,634 were used for eGFR analysis, averaging 10.7 ± 8.5 per patient. Over the study period, a significant decline in eGFR was observed in the entire cohort, with a slope of -1.70 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: These findings highlight the sustained decline in eGFR over 15 years in patients with heart failure, with variations based on clinical characteristics, and emphasize the importance of regular eGFR monitoring in this population.

    Abstract Important differences in comorbidities and clinical characteristics exist between women and men with heart failure (HF). In particular, differences in the kinetics of biological circulating biomarkers-a critical component of cardiovascular care-are highly relevant. Most circulating HF biomarkers are assessed daily by clinicians without taking sex into account, despite the multiple gender-related differences observed in plasma concentrations. Even in health, compared to men, women tend to exhibit higher levels of natriuretic peptides and galectin-3 and lower levels of cardiac troponins and the cardiac stress marker, soluble ST2. Many biological factors can provide a reliable explanation for these differences, like body composition, fat distribution, or menopausal status. Notwithstanding, these sex-specific differences in biomarker levels do not reflect different pathobiological mechanisms in HF between women and men, and they do not necessarily imply a need to use different diagnostic cut-off levels in clinical practice. To date, the sex-specific prognostic value of HF biomarkers for risk stratification is an unresolved issue that future research must elucidate. This review outlines current evidence regarding gender-related differences in circulating biomarkers widely used in HF, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these differences, and their clinical relevance.

    Abstract Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are at increased risk for heart failure (HF). The cardiac-specific (FABP3) and adipose-tissue-specific (FABP4) types of the fatty acid binding proteins have been associated with both all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the prognosis value of FABP3 and FABP4 in ambulatory subjects with chronic HF (CHF), with and without T2D. A prospective study involving 240 ambulatory CHF subjects was performed. Patients were followed-up for a mean of 5.78 ± 3.30 years and cause of death (if any) was recorded. Primary endpoints were defined as all-cause and CV death, and a composite endpoint that included CV death or hospitalization for HF was included as a secondary endpoint. Baseline serum samples were obtained and the serum FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations were assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Survival analysis was performed with multivariable Cox regressions, using Fine and Gray competing risks models when needed, to explore the prognostic value of FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations, adjusting for potential confounders. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was highly prevalent, accounting for 47.5% for total subjects with CHF. Subjects with T2D showed higher mortality rates (T2D: 69.30%; non-T2D: 50.79%,

    Abstract Aim: Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have not been shown to benefit from statins. We hypothesized that, by limiting disease progression in stable HFrEF of ischaemic etiology, the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor evolocumab could reduce circulating troponin levels, a surrogate biomarker of myocyte injury and atherosclerosis progression.
    Methods and results: The EVO-HF multicentre prospective randomized trial compared evolocumab (420 mg/month administered subcutaneously) plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT; n = 17) versus GDMT alone (n = 22) for 1 year in patients with stable coronary artery disease and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%, ischaemic aetiology, New York Heart Association class II, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ≥400 pg/ml, high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) >10 pg/ml, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥70 mg/dl. The primary endpoint was change in hs-TnT concentration. Secondary endpoints included NT-proBNP, interleukin-1 receptor-like 1 (ST2), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), LDL, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and PCSK9 levels at 1 year. Patients were mainly Caucasian (71.8%), male (79.5%), relatively young (mean age 68.1 ± 9.4 years), with a mean LVEF of 30.4 ± 6.5%, and managed with contemporary treatments. No significant changes in hs-TnT levels were observed in any group at 1 year. NT-proBNP and ST2 levels decreased in the GDMT plus evolocumab group (p = 0.045 and p = 0.008, respectively), without changes in hs-CRP, HDL-C, or LDLR. Total and LDL-C decreased in both groups, significantly higher in the intervention group (p = 0.003), and PCSK9 levels increased in the intervention group.
    Conclusions: This prospective randomized pilot trial, although with the limitation of the small sample size, does not support the benefit of evolocumab in reducing troponin levels in patients with elevated LDL-C levels, history of coronary artery disease, and stable HFrEF.

    Abstract Background: There is an urgent need for cost-effective strategies to promote quality of life in patients with heart failure (HF). Several studies reported benefits in HF prognosis for marine omega-3 fatty acids and plant-based dietary patterns.
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore whether dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the main plant omega-3, relates to a better HF prognosis.
    Methods: ALA was determined in serum phospholipids (which reflect long-term dietary ALA intake and metabolism) by gas chromatography in 905 ambulatory patients with HF caused by different etiologies.
    Results: After a median follow-up of 2.4 years (range: 0.02-3 years), 140 all-cause deaths, 85 cardiovascular (CV) deaths, and 141 first HF hospitalizations (composite of all-cause death and first HF hospitalization, n = 238) were documented. Using Cox regression analyses, we observed that, compared with patients at the lowest quartile of ALA in serum phospholipids (Q1), those at the 3 upper quartiles (Q2-Q4) exhibited a reduction in the risk of composite of all-cause death and first HF hospitalization (HR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.46-0.81). Statistically significant reductions were observed for all-cause death (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.41-0.82), CV death (HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.32-0.80), first HF hospitalization (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.40-0.84), and the composite of CV death and HF hospitalization (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.42-0.79).
    Conclusions: HF patients with bottom 25% ALA levels in serum phospholipids had a worse prognosis during a mid-term follow-up compared with those with the highest levels. This might be a target population in whom to test dietary ALA-rich interventions to promote quality of life.

    Abstract The role of inflammation in heart failure (HF) has been extensively described, but it is uncertain whether inflammation exerts a different prognostic influence according to etiology. We aimed to examine the inflammatory state in chronic HF by measuring N-acetylglucosamine/galactosamine (GlycA) and sialic acid (GlycB), evolving proton nuclear magnetic resonance biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and explore their prognostic value in patients with chronic HF. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause death and HF readmission. A total of 429 patients were included. GlycB correlated with interleukin-1 receptor-like 1 in the whole cohort (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.14, p = 0.011) and the subgroup of nonischemic etiology (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.31, p <0.001). No association was found with New York Heart Association functional class or left ventricular ejection fraction. In patients with nonischemic HF (52.2%, n = 224), GlycA and GlycB exhibited significant association with the composite end point (hazard ratio [HR] 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06 to 1.33, p = 0.004 and HR 2.13, 95% CI 1.43 to 3.13, p <0.001; respectively) and GlycB with HF readmission after multivariable adjustment (HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.54 to 3.30, p <0.001). GlycB levels were also associated with a greater risk of HF-related recurrent admissions (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.33, 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.65, p = 0.009). None of the markers were associated with the clinical end points in patients with ischemic HF. In conclusion, GlycA and GlycB represent an evolving approach to inflammation status with prognostic value in long-term outcomes in patients with nonischemic HF.
