TL;DR: This first demonstration of increased circulating levels of C-C chemokines in CHF with particularly high levels in patients with severe disease may represent previously unrecognized pathogenic factors inCHF.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Echocardiographic assessment of LV filling pressure is feasible and accurate and when combined with clinical data, it leads to a more accurate diagnosis, regardless of LVEF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
TL;DR: BPA may offer an alternative form of treatment in selected CTEPH patients and while prognostic markers such as haemodynamics, functional capacity and biomarkers improve, significant periprocedural complications must be recognised.
