TL;DR: The clinical reliability of echocardiographic surrogate markers of left ventricular filling pressures (LVFPs) across different cardiovascular pathologies remains unanswered.

TL;DR: Impaired peak cardiac performance and cardiac functional reserve are demonstrated for the first time in asymptomatic CKD patients without comorbid cardiac disease or diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the reproducibility of different mitral regurgitation quantification methods by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) across all aetiologies, including cines and 4D flow.

TL;DR: In this article, an observational study of prospectively collected data in the Sheffield HEArt Failure registry of consecutive patients with suspected heart failure between April 2012 and January 2020 was conducted. And the authors found that patients with N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) >2000pg/mL were more likely to have heart failure than those with NT-pro-BNP of 400-2000pg /mL (92% vs 64%, respectively).

TL;DR: The clinical predictors of all‐cause mortality in patients with suspected HF, a raised N‐terminal pro‐b‐type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and who do not meet the diagnostic criteria of any type of HF by echocardiography are investigated.
