Butler, Javed; Anker, Stefan D.; Lund, Lars H; Coats, Andrew J. S.; Filippatos, Gerasimos; Siddiqi, Tariq Jamal; Friede, Tim; Fabien, VincentAims: To investigate the impact of patiromer on the serum potassium level and its ability to enable specified target doses of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) use in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and results: A total of 1642 patients with HFrEF and current or a history of RAASi-related hyperkalemia were screened and 1195 were enrolled in the run...

Akiyama, Eiichi; Cinotti, Raphaël; Čerlinskaitė, Kamilė; Van Aelst, Lucas N. L.; Arrigo, Mattia; Plácido, Rui; Chouihed, Tahar; Girerd, NicolasAims: Changes in echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers of cardiac and venous pressures or estimated plasma volume during hospitalization associated with decongestive treatments in acute heart failure (AHF) patients with either preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HFPEF) or reduced LVEF (HFREF) are poorly assessed. Methods and results: From the metabolic road to diastolic heart failure: dia...
