• Biomarker signature and pathophysiological pathways in patients with chronic heart failure and metabolic syndrome 

      van der Hoef, Camilla C.S.; Boorsma, Eva M.; Emmens, Johanna E.; van Essen, Bart J.; Metra, Marco; Ng, Leong L.; Anker, Stefan D.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Mordi, Ify R.; Dihoum, Adel; Lang, Chim C.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Lam, Carolyn S.P.; Voors, Adriaan A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aim The comorbidities that collectively define metabolic syndrome are common in patients with heart failure. However, the role of metabolic syndrome in the pathophysiology of heart failure is not well understood. We ...
    • Impaired high-density lipoprotein function in patients with heart failure 

      Emmens, Johanna E.; Jia, Congzhuo; Ng, Leong L.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Anker, Stefan D.; Lang, Chim C.; Filippatos, Gerasimos; Cleland, John G.; Metra, Marco; Voors, Adriaan A.; de Boer, Rudolf A.; Tietge, Uwe J. F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background We recently showed that, in patients with heart failure, lower high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration was a strong predictor of death or hospitalization for heart failure. In a follow‐up study, ...
    • Systemic oxidative stress associates with disease severity and outcome in patients with new-onset or worsening heart failure 

      de Koning, Marie-Sophie L. Y.; Emmens, Johanna E.; Romero-Hernández, Esteban; Bourgonje, Arno R.; Assa, Solmaz; Figarska, Sylwia M.; Cleland, John G. F.; Samani, Nilesh J.; Ng, Leong L.; Lang, Chim C.; Metra, Marco; Filippatos, Gerasimos S.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Anker, Stefan D.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Voors, Adriaan A.; Lipsic, Erik; van Goor, Harry; van der Harst, Pim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background: Oxidative stress may be a key pathophysiological mediator in the development and progression of heart failure (HF). The role of serum-free thiol concentrations, as a marker of systemic oxidative stress, in HF ...
