    Abstract To the editor: Postmenopausal women have a higher risk of hypertension compared with premenopausal women possibly related to increased endothelial dysfunction in the setting of lower levels of circulating estrogen. Using data from 660 women in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), postmenopausal women had higher daytime, nighttime and 24 h systolic blood pressure variability (BPV) compared with premenopausal women, and higher nighttime systolic BPV was associated with higher endothlin-1 (a marker of endothelial dysfunction) in postmenopausal women (ß = 0.27 [0.05, 0.50], p = 0.019), even after adjustment for possible confounders including age. These findings highlight the relevance of menopause status to blood pressure variability and the potential role of blood pressure variability in the development of high endothelin-1 in postmenopausal women.

    Abstract Introduction: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which comprises approximately 50% of all heart failure patients, is a challenging and complex clinical syndrome that is often thought to lack effective treatments. Areas covered: Despite the common mantra that HFpEF has no effective treatments, closer inspection of HFpEF clinical trials reveals that several of the drugs tested are associated with benefits in exercise capacity and quality of life, and reduction in heart failure hospitalization. Here we review major randomized controlled trials in HFpEF, focusing on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system antagonists, organic nitrates, digoxin, beta-blockers, and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. In addition, we review several classes of drugs currently in development for HFpEF such as neprilysin inhibitors, inorganic nitrates (nitrites), and soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators. Expert opinion: HFpEF should not be viewed as lacking effective treatments. While there have been no breakthrough clinical trials showing a reduction in mortality, several existing medications are likely to benefit specific subgroups of HFpEF patients. HFpEF is now well known to be a heterogeneous syndrome; thus, the clinical management of HFpEF patients and future HFpEF clinical trials will both likely require a nuanced, phenotype-specific approach instead of a one-size-fits-all tactic. Drug development for HFpEF therefore represents an exciting opportunity for personalized medicine.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Right-sided heart failure, which is often present in the setting of advanced heart failure, is associated with cardiac cachexia, the cardiorenal syndrome, and adverse outcomes. Improved understanding of venous congestion of the splanchnic circulation, which may play a key role in the pathogenesis of right-sided heart failure, could lead to novel therapeutics to ameliorate heart failure. Here we provide an overview of right-sided heart failure, splanchnic hemodynamics, fluid homeostasis, and the intestinal microenvironment. We review recent literature to describe pathophysiologic mechanisms and possible therapeutics.
    Recent findings: Several possible mechanisms centered around upregulation of sodium-hydrogen exchanger-3 (NHE3) may form a causal link between right ventricular dysfunction, splanchnic congestion, and worsening heart failure. These include an anaerobic environment in enterocytes, resulting in reduced intracellular pH; increased sodium absorption by the gut via NHE3; decreased pH at the intestinal brush border thus altering the gut microbiome profile; increased bacterial synthesis of trimethylamine N-oxide; and decreased bacterial synthesis of short-chain fatty acids causing abnormal intestinal barrier function.
    Summary: Splanchnic congestion in the setting of right-sided heart failure may serve an important role in the pathogenesis of advanced heart failure, and further exploration of these mechanisms may lead to new therapeutic advances.

    Abstract Background: Activin A has been implicated in the pathogenesis of patients with chronic hypertension and heart failure as well as patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Whether activin A correlates with blood pressure in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and HDP history has not previously been explored.
    Methods and results: 82 women with PPCM w/ and w/out HDP or hypertension history were selected for analysis from the Investigations in Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy (IPAC) study. Serum biomarkers and blood pressure were assessed at the time of enrollment (median postpartum day 24). Levels of both sFlt-1 (SBP: r 0.47, p = 0.008; DBP: r 0.57, p < 0.001) and activin A (SBP: r 0.59, p < 0.001;DBP: r 0.68, p < 0.001) were noted to significantly correlate with blood pressure in patients with a history of HDP who went on to develop PPCM, but not in patients with chronic hypertension or no hypertensive history. The strongest correlation was between activin A levels and postpartum diastolic blood pressure for the subset with preeclampsia (DBP: r0.82, p < 0.001). This remained significant in multivariable linear regression analysis (DBP: β = 0.011, p = 0.015).
    Conclusion: In patients with PPCM, activin A and sFlt-1 levels had direct correlations with both systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP), but only in participants with history of HDP. This correlation was more evident for activin A and strongest with a history of preeclampsia. Our findings suggest that activin A may play an important role in blood pressure modulation in women with HDP who subsequently develop PPCM.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Visceral venous congestion of the gut may play a key role in the pathogenesis of right-sided heart failure (HF) and cardiorenal syndromes. Here, we review the role of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, visceral congestion, splanchnic hemodynamics, and the intestinal microenvironment in the setting of right-sided HF. We review recent literature on this topic, outline possible mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, and discuss potential therapeutics.
    Recent findings: There are several mechanisms linking RV-gut interactions via visceral venous congestion which could result in (1) hypoxia and acidosis in enterocytes, which may lead to enhanced sodium-hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) expression with increased sodium and fluid retention; (2) decreased luminal pH in the intestines, which could lead to alteration of the gut microbiome which could increase gut permeability and inflammation; (3) alteration of renal hemodynamics with triggering of the cardiorenal syndrome; and (4) altered phosphate metabolism resulting in increased pulmonary artery stiffening, thereby increasing RV afterload. A wide variety of therapeutic interventions that act on the RV, pulmonary vasculature, intestinal microenvironment, and the kidney could alter these pathways and should be tested in patients with right-sided HF. The RV-gut axis is an important aspect of HF pathogenesis that deserves more attention. Modulation of the pathways interconnecting the right heart, visceral congestion, and the intestinal microenvironment could be a novel avenue of intervention for right-sided HF.
