BACKGROUND: Natriuretic peptides are substrates of neprilysin; hence, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations rise with neprilysin inhibition. Thus, the clinical validity of measuring BNP in sacubitril/valsartan-treated patients has been questioned, and use of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) has been preferred and recommended. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic performance of BNP measurements before and during treatment with sacubitril/valsartan...

BACKGROUND: The relationship between respiratory diseases and individual cardiovascular diseases, and the impact of cardiovascular diseases on mortality in patients with respiratory disease, are unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and interstitial lung disease (ILD), and individual cardiovascular diseases, and evaluate the impact of individual cardiovascular diseases on all-cause mortality in respiratory conditions...

BACKGROUND: Symptoms remain a poor prompt for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Timely restoration of perfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is associated with improved left ventricular function and survival. OBJECTIVES: This report details the results of ALERTS (AngelMed for Early Recognition and Treatment of STEMI), a multicenter, randomized trial of an implantable cardiac monitor that alerts patients with rapidly progressive ST-segment deviation...

BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the contemporary profiles and outcomes of patients with significant aortic regurgitation (AR). OBJECTIVES: The study sought to assess the benefits of aortic valve repair or replacement (AVR) and the prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) dimensions in significant AR. METHODS: From 2006 to 2017, consecutive patients with ≥moderate-severe chronic AR without prior heart surgery, myocardial infarction, or overt coronary artery disease were included...

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend titration of medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to target doses derived from clinical trials. The degree to which titration occurs in contemporary United States (U.S.) practice is unknown. OBJECTIVES: We sought to characterize longitudinal titration of HFrEF medical therapy in clinical practice and identify associated factors and reasons for medication changes. METHODS: Among 2,588 U...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) I or T methods have been in use in certain regions for years but are now increasingly globally adopted, including in the United States. Accordingly, inevitable challenges are created for institutions transitioning from conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. hs-cTn assays have higher analytic precision at lower concentrations, yielding greater clinical sensitivity for myocardial injury and allowing accurate recognition of small changes in troponin concentration (rise or fall) within a short time frame...

BACKGROUND: Fluorine-18 sodium fluoride (NaF), a bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical used to detect osseous metastases, localizes in regions of microcalcification in atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVES: To determine if atherosclerosis of penile arteries plays a role in erectile dysfunction (ED), this study analyzed NaF images in prostate cancer patients. METHODS: NaF positron emission tomography-computed tomography bone scans were evaluated in 437 prostate cancer patients (age 66...

BACKGROUND: Five years of prospective clinical trials confirm that paclitaxel drug-coated balloons (DCB) is safe and effective to treat femoropopliteal artery disease. A recent meta-analysis of heterogenous trials of paclitaxel-based balloons and stents reported they are associated with increased mortality and higher doses are linked to higher mortality from 2-5 years. OBJECTIVES: Determine if there is a correlation between paclitaxel exposure and mortality by conducting an independent patient-level meta-analysis of 1,980 patients with up to 5-year follow-up...
