      Background: Few data are available regarding changes in mitral regurgitation (MR) severity with guideline-recommended medical therapy (GRMT) in heart failure (HF). Our aim was to evaluate the evolution and impact of MR ...
    • Clinical implications of left atrial changes after optimization of medical therapy in patients with heart failure 

      Inciardi, Riccardo M.; Pagnesi, Matteo; Lombardi, Carlo M.; Anker, Stefan D.; Cleland, John G.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Filippatos, Gerasimos S.; Lang, Chim C.; Ng, Leong L.; Pellicori, Pierpaolo; Ponikowski, Piotr; Samani, Nilesh J.; Zannad, Faiez; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Solomon, Scott D.; Voors, Adriaan A.; Metra, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aims Limited data exist regarding the prognostic relevance of changes in left atrial (LA) dimensions in patients with heart failure (HF). We assessed changes in LA dimension and their relation with outcomes after optimization ...
    • Clinical implications of low estimated protein intake in patients with heart failure 

      Streng, Koen W.; Hillege, Hans L.; ter Maaten, Jozine M.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Ng, Leong L.; Samani, Nilesh J.; Metra, Marco; Ponikowski, Piotr; Cleland, John G.; Anker, Stefan D.; Romaine, Simon P.R.; Damman, Kevin; van der Meer, Peter; Lang, Chim C.; Voors, Adriaan A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: A higher protein intake has been associated with a higher muscle mass and lower mortality rates in the general population, but data about protein intake and survival in patients with heart failure (HF) are ...
    • Impact of mitral regurgitation in patients with worsening heart failure: insights from BIOSTAT-CHF 

      Pagnesi, Matteo; Adamo, Marianna; Sama, Iziah E.; Anker, Stefan D.; Cleland, John G.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Filippatos, Gerasimos S.; Lang, Chim C.; Ng, Leong L.; Ponikowski, Piotr; Ravera, Alice; Samani, Nilesh J.; Zannad, Faiez; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Voors, Adriaan A.; Metra, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Aims Few data regarding the prevalence and prognostic impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with worsening chronic or new-onset acute heart failure (HF) are available. We investigated the role of MR in the BIOlogy ...
    • 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, ...
    • Pathophysiological pathways in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation 

      Santema, Bernadet T.; Arita, Vicente Artola; Sama, Iziah E.; Kloosterman, Mariëlle; van den Berg, Maarten P.; Nienhuis, Hans L.A.; Van Gelder, Isabelle C.; van der Meer, Peter; Zannad, Faiez; Metra, Marco; Ter Maaten, Jozine M.; Cleland, John G.; Ng, Leong L.; Anker, Stefan D.; Lang, Chim C.; Samani, Nilesh J.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Filippatos, Gerasimos; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Lam, Carolyn S.P.; Rienstra, Michiel; Voors, Adriaan A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
