TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) to detect the subclinical left ventricular dysfunction [LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% patients], predict all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (all patients), and provide incremental prognostic information over current risk markers.

TL;DR: Plasma ACE2 activity independently increased the hazard of adverse long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with obstructive CAD.

TL;DR: This work aimed to compare speckle tracking–derived longitudinal deformation measurements with traditional two‐dimensional and real time three‐dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging parameters for accurate assessment of right ventricular systolic function.

TL;DR: In patients with AS, elevated plasma ACE2 was a marker of myocardial structural abnormalities and an independent predictor of mortality with incremental value over traditional prognostic markers.

TL;DR: Data show that ligands that activate RAGE present in the circulation of patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy are predominantly of high molecular weight.
