      Aims Whereas the combination of anaemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been extensively studied in patients with heart failure (HF), the contribution of iron deficiency (ID) to this dysfunctional interplay is unknown. ...
    • Clinical impact of changes in mitral regurgitation severity after medical therapy optimization in heart failure 

      Pagnesi, Matteo; Adamo, Marianna; Sama, Iziah E.; Anker, Stefan D.; Cleland, John G.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Filippatos, Gerasimos S.; Inciardi, Riccardo M.; Lang, Chim C.; Lombardi, Carlo; Ng, Leong L.; Ponikowski, Piotr; Samani, Nilesh J.; Zannad, Faiez; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Voors, Adriaan A.; Metra, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      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 ...
    • The impact of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose on renal function: An analysis of the FAIR-HF study 

      Ponikowski, Piotr; Filippatos, Gerasimos; Colet, Josep Comin; Willenheimer, Ronnie; Dickstein, Kenneth; Luscher, Thomas; Gaudesius, Giedrius; Von Eisenhart Rothe, Barbara; Mori, Claudio; Greenlaw, Nicola; Ford, Ian; Macdougall, Iain; Anker, Stefan D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-11)
      Aims Anaemia and iron deficiency are constituents of the cardio-renal syndrome in chronic heart failure (CHF). We investigated the effects of i.v. iron in iron-deficient CHF patients on renal function, and the efficacy and ...
    • 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 ...
    • Pathophysiological pathways related to high plasma growth differentiation factor 15 concentrations in patients with heart failure 

      Ceelen, Daan; Voors, Adriaan A.; Tromp, Jasper; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Dickstein, Kenneth; de Boer, Rudolf A.; Lang, Chim C.; Anker, Stefan D.; Ng, Leong L.; Metra, Marco; Ponikowski, Piotr; Figarska, Sylwia M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aims Elevated concentrations of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in patients with heart failure (HF) have been consistently associated with worse clinical outcomes, but what disease mechanisms high GDF-15 ...
    • Urinary Marker Profiles in Heart Failure with Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction 

      Streng, Koen W.; Hillege, Hans L.; ter Maaten, Jozine M.; van Veldhuisen, Dirk J.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Samani, Nilesh J.; Ng, Leong L.; Metra, Marco; Filippatos, Gerasimos S.; Ponikowski, Piotr; Zannad, Faiez; Anker, Stefan D.; van der Meer, Peter; Lang, Chim C.; Voors, Adriaan A.; Damman, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background Recent data suggest different causes of renal dysfunction between heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) versus preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We therefore studied a wide range of urinary markers reflecting ...
