Heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction: synergy between cardiac and extracardiac mechanisms and effects of novel therapies

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a systemic disease in which metabolic comorbidities obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) converge to drive systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and myocardial fibrosis. Microvascular...

Early‐stage myocardial changes are not aggravated by Western diet or ageing in Mybpc3 c.2373insG heterozygous mice

Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by heterozygous pathogenic gene variants is characterized by highly variable disease phenotypes. Ageing and systemic metabolic disruption are thought to act as additional ‘second hits’ that modulate this genotype–phenotype relatio...
