Adverse cardiac remodelling is the main determinant of patient prognosis in degenerative
valvular heart disease (VHD). However, to give an indication for valvular intervention …

The use of circulating biomarkers for heart failure (HF) is engrained in contemporary
cardiovascular practice and provides objective information about various pathophysiological …

Aims Cardiac amyloidosis is common in elderly patients with aortic stenosis (AS) referred for
transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We hypothesized that patients with dual aortic …

Importance Development of myocardial fibrosis in patients with aortic stenosis precedes left
ventricular decompensation and is associated with an adverse long-term prognosis …

Objectives: This study sought to explore the Fabry myocardium in relation to storage, age,
sex, structure, function, electrocardiogram changes, blood biomarkers, and …

Aim To evaluate the relationship between sex, age and outcome in dilated cardiomyopathy
(DCM). Methods and results We used proportional hazard modelling to examine the …

Background Whether cardiovascular (CV) disease risk factors and biomarkers associate
differentially with heart failure (HF) risk in men and women is unclear. Objectives The …

Background Although women represent half of the population burden of aortic stenosis (AS),
little is known whether sex affects the presentation, management, and outcome of patients …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sex on myocardial fibrosis as
assessed by using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in aortic stenosis (AS) …

The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the role of cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) in aortic stenosis (AS). Although CMR is undeniably the gold standard for …
