Abstract
Introduction Optimal venous thromboembolism (VTE) enoxaparin prophylaxis dosing remains elusive. Weight-based (WB) dosing safely increases anti-factor Xa levels without the need for routine monitoring but it is unclear if it leads to lower VTE risk. We hypothesized that WB dosing would decrease VTE risk compared with standard fixed dosing (SFD). Methods Patients from the prospective, observational CLOTT-1 registry receiving prophylactic enoxaparin (n=5539) were categorized as WB (0.45-0.55 mg/kg two times per day) or SFD (30 mg two times per day, 40 mg once a day). Multivariate logistic regression was used to generate a predicted probability of VTE for WB and SFD patients. Results Of 4360 patients analyzed, 1065 (24.4%) were WB and 3295 (75.6%) were SFD. WB patients were younger, female, more severely injured, and underwent major operation or major venous repair at a higher rate than individuals in the SFD group. Obesity was more common among the SFD group. Unadjusted VTE rates were comparable (WB 3.1% vs. SFD 3.9%; p=0.221). Early prophylaxis was associated with lower VTE rate (1.4% vs. 5.0%; p=0.001) and deep vein thrombosis (0.9% vs. 4.4%; p<0.001), but not pulmonary embolism (0.7% vs. 1.4%; p=0.259). After adjustment, VTE incidence did not differ by dosing strategy (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.75, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.48); however, early administration was associated with a significant reduction in VTE (aOR 0.47, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.74). Conclusion In young trauma patients, WB prophylaxis is not associated with reduced VTE rate when compared with SFD. The timing of the initiation of chemoprophylaxis may be more important than the dosing strategy. Further studies need to evaluate these findings across a wider age and comorbidity spectrum. Level of evidence Level IV, therapeutic/care management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVIs) are relatively common in patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), uncertainty remains regarding optimal management strategies to prevent neurological complications, morbidity, and mortality. Our objectives were to characterize common care patterns; assess the prevalence of adverse outcomes, including stroke, functional deficits, and death, by BCVI grade; and evaluate therapeutic approaches to treatment in patients with BCVI and TBI. METHODS Patients with TBI and BCVI treated at our Level I trauma center from January 2016 to December 2020 were identified. Presenting characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were captured for univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Of 323 patients with BCVI, 145 had Biffl grade I, 91 had grade II, 49 had grade III, and 38 had grade IV injuries. Lower-grade BCVIs were more frequently managed with low-dose (81 mg) aspirin ( P < .01), although all grades were predominantly treated with high-dose (150-600 mg) aspirin ( P = .10). Patients with low-grade BCVIs had significantly fewer complications ( P < .01) and strokes ( P < .01). Most strokes occurred in the acute time frame (<24 hours), including 10/11 (90.9%) grade IV-related strokes. Higher BCVI grade portended elevated risk of stroke (grade II odds ratio [OR] 5.3, grade III OR 12.2, and grade IV OR 19.6 compared with grade I; all P < .05). The use of low- or high-dose aspirin was protective against mortality (both OR 0.1, P < .05). CONCLUSION In patients with TBI, BCVIs impart greater risk for stroke and other associated morbidities as their severity increases. It may prove difficult to mitigate high-grade BCVI-related stroke, considering most events occur in the acute window. The paucity of late time frame strokes suggest that current management strategies do help mitigate risks.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is a growing concern about the possible effects of global warming on human health. In HF outpatients, renal function significantly worsens during summer. More specific analyses on the impact of increasing temperatures on body homeostasis are lacking.
Purpose
We investigated the relationship between the trend of temperatures from 2002 to 2021 and renal function in heart failure (HF) outpatients.
Methods
All creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values of HF outpatients followed at one tertiary hospital in a Mediterranean area of Spain were retrieved from electronic health records. eGFR was calculated through the CKD-EPI formula. Temperature data from the local municipality were derived from the Meteocat service; as temperatures from the years 2004–2005 were not available, these years were not analysed. Summer was defined as the timespan from June to September included. We calculated average values of creatinine and eGFR during summer and the rest of the same year, considering each patient and each year. Similarly, we averaged temperature values during summer and the rest of the same year.
Results
We derived 6,307 couples of average creatinine/eGFR values in summer and in the rest of the year from 2,194 patients. Across all the years (2002–2003 and 2006–2021), creatinine was slightly higher in summer than in the rest of the year (1.26 vs. 1.21 mg/dL, p<0.001), and eGFR was lower (65 vs. 67 mL/min/1.73 m2, p<0.001). Temperatures in summer and the rest of the year increased gradually, albeit not linearly, from 2002 to 2021 (Figure 1). The absolute (Δ) and percent changes (Δ%) in median temperatures between summer and the rest of the year increased across years (r=0.149, p=0.001 and r=0.144, p=0.002, respectively), as well as Δ and Δ% of the monthly median of maximal temperatures (r=0.119, p<0.001 and r=0.052, p<0.001, respectively) (Figure 1). The Δ and Δ% temperatures between summer and the rest of the year displayed several significant correlations with Δ and Δ% creatinine and eGFR after adjusting for several variables including age, sex, HF therapies, and creatinine outside of summer (Figure 2).
Conclusions
Over a 20-year timespan there has been an increase in 1) temperatures in summer and in the rest of the year, and 2) the temperature excursion between summer and the rest of the year. Changes in temperatures between summer and the rest of the year correlated with the magnitude of the decrease in renal function during summer, likely because of worse dehydration with higher temperatures. Therefore, the progressive rise in temperature may have detrimental effects on renal function during summer in HF outpatients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite successful revascularization at the epicardial level, microvascular obstruction (MVO) appears soon after reperfusion in up to 50% of cases. Early MVO has been solidly associated with adverse resulting cardiac structure and heightened risk of future cardiovascular events. Although clinical and experimental studies demostrated the spontaneous repair of MVO, little is known about the occurrence and implications of persistent MVO late after infarction.
Purpose
We used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to characterize the impact of persistent MVO late after reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling (ALVR).
Methods
A prospective registry of 471 STEMI patients underwent CMR 7 [5–10] and 198 [167–231] days post infarction, and MVO (>1 segment) and ALVR (relative increase >15% at follow-up CMR) of LV end-diastolic (LVEDVI) and end-systolic volume indices (LVESVI) were determined.
Results
One-week MVO occurred in 209 patients (44%) and persisted in 30 of these (6%). Most patients with persistent MVO (22/30, 73%) displayed extensive (>2.5% of LV mass) MVO at 1 week. Compared with patients without MVO (n=262, 56%) or with MVO only at 1 week (n=179, 38%), those with persistent MVO at follow-up (n=30, 6%) showed higher rates of ALVR-LVEDVI (22%, 27%, 50% p=0.003) and ALVR-LVESVI (20%, 21%, 53% p<0.001). After adjustment, the extent (% of LV mass) of MVO at follow-up was independently associated with ΔLVEDVI (relative increase, %) (p=0.01) and ΔLVESVI (p=0.03). Compared to a 1:1 matched population of 30 patients with MVO only at 1 week, patients with persistent MVO more frequently displayed ALVR-LVEDVI (12% vs. 50%, p=0.003) and ALVR-LVESVI (12% vs. 53%, p=0.001).
Conclusion
MVO persists in a small percentage of patients in chronic phase after STEMI and exerts deleterious effects in terms of LV remodelling. These findings fuel the need for further research on microvascular injury repair.

Abstract
The present study examined chaplain reported plans for patient conversations regarding end-of-life (EOL) care through the lens of multiple goals. Chaplains (n = 69) were asked to curate a plan for engaging with a patient about EOL treatment options, including how they would engage in the conversation and what they would plan to discuss. Findings indicated that plans primarily consisted of relational and identity goals, with a majority navigating multiple goal orientations. Content overwhelmingly involved developing rapport with patients, eliciting patient preferences for care, and serving as a patient liaison. The current study addresses the paucity of research around the role a chaplain plays on the interdisciplinary team and their respective approach to EOL conversations. Examination of curated plans affords insight to what content is prioritized and which conversational goals are present. Integration of multiple goals offers preliminary evidence for conversational quality. Awareness of goal approach and content prioritized affords clarity on how chaplains can be called upon to support members of the interdisciplinary care team.

Abstract
AIMS The interaction between common cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is poorly studied. We sought to explore the relation between CVRF and the clinical characteristics of patients with HCM enrolled in the EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Cardiomyopathy registry. METHODS AND RESULTS 1739 patients with HCM were studied. The relation between hypertension (HT), diabetes (DM), body mass index (BMI), and clinical traits was analysed. Analyses were stratified according to the presence or absence of a pathogenic variant in a sarcomere gene. The prevalence of HT, DM, and obesity (Ob) was 37, 10, and 21%, respectively. HT, DM, and Ob were associated with older age (P<0.001), less family history of HCM (HT and DM P<0.001), higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (P<0.001), atrial fibrillation (HT and DM P<0.001; Ob p = 0.03) and LV (left ventricular) diastolic dysfunction (HT and Ob P<0.001; DM P = 0.003). Stroke was more frequent in HT (P<0.001) and mutation-positive patients with DM (P = 0.02). HT and Ob were associated with higher provocable LV outflow tract gradients (HT P<0.001, Ob P = 0.036). LV hypertrophy was more severe in Ob (P = 0.018). HT and Ob were independently associated with NYHA class (OR 1.419, P = 0.017 and OR 1.584, P = 0.004, respectively). Other associations, including a higher proportion of females in HT and of systolic dysfunction in HT and Ob, were observed only in mutation-positive patients. CONCLUSION Common CVRF are associated with a more severe HCM phenotype, suggesting a proactive management of CVRF should be promoted. An interaction between genotype and CVRF was observed for some traits.

Abstract
PURPOSE Damage control laparotomy (DCL) is used for both traumatic and non-traumatic indications. Failure to achieve primary fascial closure (PFC) in a timely fashion has been associated with complications including sepsis, fistula, and mortality. We sought to identify factors associated with time to PFC in a multicenter retrospective cohort. METHODS We reviewed retrospective data from 15 centers in the EAST SLEEP-TIME registry, including age, comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI]), small and large bowel resection, bowel discontinuity, vascular procedures, retained packs, number of re-laparotomies, net fluid balance after 24 h, trauma, and time to first takeback in 12-h increments to identify key factors associated with time to PFC. RESULTS In total, 368 patients (71.2% trauma, of which 50.6% were penetrating, median ISS 25 [16, 34], with median Apache II score 15 [11, 22] in non-trauma) were in the cohort. Of these, 92.9% of patients achieved PFC at 60.8 ± 72.0 h after 1.6 ± 1.2 re-laparotomies. Each additional re-laparotomy reduced the odds of PFC by 91.5% (95%CI 88.2-93.9%, p < 0.001). Time to first re-laparotomy was highly significant (p < 0.001) in terms of odds of achieving PFC, with no difference between 12 and 24 h to first re-laparotomy (ref), and decreases in odds of PFC of 78.4% (65.8-86.4%, p < 0.001) for first re-laparotomy after 24.1-36 h, 90.8% (84.7-94.4%, p < 0.001) for 36.1-48 h, and 98.1% (96.4-99.0%, p < 0.001) for > 48 h. Trauma patients had increased likelihood of PFC in two separate analyses (p = 0.022 and 0.002). CONCLUSION Time to re-laparotomy ≤ 24 h and minimizing number of re-laparotomies are highly predictive of rapid achievement of PFC in patients after trauma- and non-trauma DCL. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2B.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent evidence confirms the elevation of CA 125 in non-tumor processes such as acute heart failure (AHF). However, the utility of this novel biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy guidance in AHF remains unclear.
Purpose
To investigate the potential of CA 125 for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy guidance in unselected AHF patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department (ED).
Methods
We quantified CA 125 in a blinded fashion among patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the ED in a multicenter diagnostic study. Final diagnosis of AHF including AHF-phenotype was centrally adjudicated by two independent cardiologists. To further characterize CA 125's potential in AHF correlations with established biochemical and imaging markers were assessed. Diagnostic accuracy for AHF was quantified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). All-cause mortality within 360 days was the prognostic endpoint.
Results
Among 470 patients eligible for this analysis, 268 (57.0%) had adjudicated AHF. CA 125 concentrations at presentation were significantly higher among AHF patients vs. patients with other final diagnoses (45.8 U/ml [interquartile range (IQR), 18.5–110.3] vs. 16.2 U/ml [IQR, 9.6–31.6], p<.001). Patients with worsening heart failure had significant higher CA 125 levels compared to other heart failure phenotypes (p=.018). There was a significant positive correlation of CA 125 and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and NTproBNP and a significant negative correlation of CA 125 and left ventricular ejection fraction (correlation coefficients 0.204, 0.220, −0.331, respectively; all ps<.001). CA 125's AUC for AHF was significantly lower compared to NTproBNP's in the overall population (0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67–0.76 vs. 0.93, 95% CI 0.90–0.95, p<.001, Figure 1) and in predefined subgroups according to age, gender and renal function. Among 268 AHF patients, 84 (31.3%) died within 360 days of follow-up. CA 125 plasma concentrations above the median indicated increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.06, 95% CI 1.31–3.24; p=.002, Figure 2). CA 125's prognostic accuracy for 360-days mortality was comparable with NT-proBNP's and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T's. CA 125 did not independently predict all-cause mortality at 360 days when used in validated multivariable regression models and had no interactions with medical therapies at discharge.
Conclusion
CA 125 may aid physicians in the risk stratification and rapid triage of patients with suspected AHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Limited data are available on the very long-term trajectory of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).
Purpose
To prospectively assess dynamic trajectories of GFR estimated by CKD-EPI in a real-life cohort of HF patients based on the presence or absence of T2D over a 14-year follow-up.
Methods
In a prospective observational registry of real-life HF outpatients, estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated by CKD-EPI at baseline and on a structured schedule every 3 months up to 14 years. We included in the analysis only eGFR values that were assessed at scheduled visits, discarding urgent renal function assessments. Loess (locally weighted error sum of squares) curves were plotted for the subgroups according to baseline T2D up to 14 years of follow-up. Loess curves are useful to observe a trend or relationship on nonlinear data observed over time.
Results
2386 patients were consecutively included from August 2001 to December 2018. 43.2% of the patients had a history of T2D. Mean age was 67.0±12.6 years, 28.9% were women and 71.0% had HF with reduced ejection fraction (EF<40%). 25080 eGFR values were included in the analysis with a median of 8 values per patient [IQR 4–15] and a range between 1 and 47.
Diabetic patients had a worse baseline eGFR and presented a persistent decline over time. On the contrary non-diabetic patients presented an early decrease, mid-term improvement and a late progressive decline (Figure 1).
Conclusions
eGFR long-term trajectories in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with chronic HF were significantly different.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) is characterized by alterations in kidney function that are associated with poor prognosis and can be related to the evolution of the disease or induced by medical treatment. High temperatures during summer may result in some degree of dehydration, especially in patients treated with diuretics, and may contribute to transient glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction.
Objective
To assess creatinine and eGFR changes during summer in ambulatory heart failure patients.
Methods
Consecutive patients with HF admitted at our HF Clinic (Spain) from August 2001 to December 2020 were included. eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula. We included in the analysis creatinine and eGFR values that were assessed at planned visits only, discarding urgent renal function assessments. Creatinine and eGFR values were grouped according to the period of the year (summer [from June to September, both included] vs. the rest of the year). Changes in creatinine and eGFR between the rest of the year and summer for each patient were evaluated using paired samples t-test.
Results
Out of 37360 creatinine and eGFR values, 25458 were included in the analysis for a total of 2423 patients (median number of observations for each patient: 8, IQR 4–15). Mean creatinine and eGFR were 1.4±1.0 mg/dl and 63.0±27.7 ml/min, respectively. Table 1 shows baseline patient characteristics. Creatinine increased significantly during summer (1.44±0.9 mg/dl vs. 1.48±1.1 mg/dl, p<0.001). Similarly, eGFR was lower in summer as compared to the rest of the year 60.6±25.4 ml/min vs. 59.4±26.0 ml/min, p<0.001.
Conclusions
In ambulatory HF patients in a Mediterranean area, we found significant worsening of renal function during summer, likely related to an imbalance between water intake and fluid loss. To prevent summer-driven kidney stress, diuretic treatment should be carefully adjusted during the hottest months of the year.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The prognostic value and therapeutic implications of ischemia as derived from vasodilator stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) could differ in men and women, but it has not been stablished.
Purpose
We assessed the influence of the ischemic burden as derived from CMR on the risk of death and the effect of revascularization across sex.
Methods
We evaluated 6,237 consecutive patients with known or suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Extensive ischemia was defined as >5 segments with perfusion deficit. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used.
Results
A total of 2,371 (38.0%) patients were women and 583 (9.3%) underwent CMR-related revascularization. During a median follow-up of 5.13 years, 687 (11.0%) deaths were reported. We found an adjusted differential effect of CMR-derived ischemic burden across sex (p-value for interaction=0.039). Women exhibited an adjusted lower risk of death along most of the continuous ischemic burden but equalled men's risk when extensive ischemia was present. Likewise, CMR-related revascularization was shown to be differentially associated with the risk of mortality across sex (p-value for interaction=0.025). In patients with non-extensive ischemia, revascularization was related to a higher risk of death, with a greater extent in women. At higher ischemic burden, revascularization was associated with a lower risk in men, with more uncertain results in women.
Conclusions
CMR-derived ischemic burden allows predicting the risk of death and gives insight into the potential effect of revascularization in men and women with CCS. Compared to men, women with nonextensive ischemia displayed a lower risk and a similar risk with a higher ischemic burden. The impact of CMR-related revascularization on mortality risk was also significantly different according to ischemic burden and sex.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The impact of sex in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) has been widely reported, but little is known about the influence of sex on the risk of new-onset HF in patients with CCS.
Objectives
We aimed to examine sex-related differences and new-onset heart failure (HF) risk in patients with known or suspected CCS undergoing vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods
We prospectively evaluated 5,899 consecutive HF-free patients submitted to stress CMR for known or suspected CCS. Ischemic burden (number of segments with stress-induced perfusion deficit) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed by CMR. The association between sex and new-onset HF (including outpatient diagnosis or acute HF hospitalization) was evaluated using a Cox proportional-hazards regression model adjusted for competing events (death, myocardial infarction, and non-CMR-related revascularization).
Results
A total of 2,289 (38.8%) patients were women, and 539 (9.1%) underwent CMR-related revascularization. During a median follow-up of 4.5 years, 610 (10.3%) patients died, 191 (3.2%) suffered a myocardial infarction, 420 (7.1%) underwent CMR-non-related revascularization, and 314 (5.3%) developed new-onset HF. Unadjusted new-onset HF rates were higher in women than in men (1.25 vs 0.83 per 100 person/years, p=0.002) (Figure 1). After comprehensive multivariate adjustment, women showed an increased risk of new-onset HF (HR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.21–2.13, p=0.001). Compared with men, the risk of new-onset HF was higher in women with LVEF >53%.
Conclusions
Compared with men, women with CCS are at a higher risk of new-onset HF. Further studies are needed to unravel the mechanisms behind these sex-related differences.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right heart dysfunction (RHD) parameters, such as right ventricular to pulmonary artery uncoupling or significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are increasingly important in heart failure (HF), especially in patients with preserved ejection fraction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of advanced RHD with the risk of recurrent admissions across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
Methods
We included 3,383 consecutive patients discharged for acute HF (AHF). Of them, in 1,435 (42.4%) pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) could not be accurately measured, leaving a final sample size of 1,948 patients. Advanced RHD was defined as the combination of a ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/PASP<0.36 and a significant functional TR (n=196, 10.2%). Negative binomial regression analyses were used to evaluate the risk of recurrent admissions.
Results
At a median follow up of 2.2 years (IQR=0.63–4.71), 3,782 readmissions were registered in 1,296 patients (66.5%). Patients with advanced RHD showed higher rates of readmissions, but only if LVEF≥40% (p<0.001). In multivariable analyses, this differential association persisted for CV and HF recurrent admissions (p-value for interaction=0.016 and p=0.020; respectively). Advanced RHD was independently associated with the risk of recurrent CV and HF admissions if HF with LVEF≥40% (IRR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.47–2.69, p<0.001; and IRR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.45–2.81, p<0.001; respectively). In contrast, it was not associated with readmission risks if LVEF<40%.
Conclusion
Following an admission for AHF, advanced RHD was strongly associated with a higher risk of recurrent CV and HF admissions, but only in patients with LVEF≥40%.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have demonstrated to the be more effective and safer than vitamin-K antagonist (VKA) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). AF prevalence increases exponentially with age but octogenarians were underrepresented in clinical trials.
Methods
We performed a metanalysis with currently available studies that assessed the effect of DOACS vs. VKA in patients with age ≥80 and AF after performing a systematic search. The primary endpoints analyzed were stroke and all-cause death. Secondary endpoints were major bleeding, according to each study definitions, intracranial bleeding and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The raw numbers of incident end-points reported in each study were used. A random effects model was selected because significant heterogeneity was observed; sensitivity analyses tested potential sources of heterogeneity, publication bias and the small-study effect.
Results
A total of 147,067 patients from 16 studies were included, 71,913 treated with DOACs and 75,154 with VKA. Inclusion criteria for the study was age ≥80 in 13 studies, ≥85 in two and ≥90 in one. Mean age of patients included all the studies was 86.2 (2.6) years. According to the study drug, 34,448 received rivaroxaban; 20,295 apixaban; 14,641 dabigatran, 492 edoxaban and; 2,037 any DOAC. No difference in mean age was observed according to the study drug.
Stroke incidence was available in the 16 studies. DOACs treatment was associated to 28% reduction of stroke (RR: 0.72 95% CI 0.63–0.82; p<0.001) (figure). All-cause mortality could be assessed in 12 studies and DOACs treatment was associated to 18% in mortality (RR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.70–0.96; p=0.012) (figure). DOACs treatment was not associated to reductions in major bleeding (RR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.69–1.04; p=0.108); in contrast, the highest effect of DOACs treatment was a 43% reduction of intracranial bleeding (RR: 0.47, 95% CI 0.36–0.60; p<0.001) (Figure 4). Finally, DOACs treatment was not associated higher of GI bleeding risk (RR: 1.08, 95% CI 0.76–1.53; p=0.678). Metaregression identified inclusion site in North-America (p<0.001), the ELDERCARE-AF results (p=0.023), control arm different than VKA (p=0.006) and the prevalence of hypertension (p=0.042) were outlined as main sources of heterogeneicity for stroke risk reduction. The type of DOAC was the main source of source of heterogeneicity for all-cause mortality (p<0.001) and major bleeding (p=0.03) risk reduction. No small-study effect was found for any endpoint except for intracranial bleeding (Harbor test p=0.029).
Conclusions
Treatment with DOACs in octogenarians reduces the incidence of stroke, all-cause mortality and intracranial bleeding as compared to VKA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular-pulmonary circulation coupling (RVPAC), which can be measured by the relation between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) by echocardiography, has been postulated as an independent prognostic factor of hospitalizations and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients.
Purpose
Our aim was to know the predictors of RVPAC improvement in a chronic HF cohort.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of a prospectively studied cohort of HF outpatients of different aetiologies attended in a multidisciplinary HF Unit. Prospectively scheduled echo-Doppler studies were performed at first visit and 1 year. A TAPSE/SPAP ratio <0.36 mm/mmHg was identified as the most deleterious. Significant RVPAC improvement at 1 year was defined as TAPSE/SPAP ratio ≥0.36 mm/mmHg together with a ≥10% improvement from baseline RVPAC. Multivariable logistic regression analysis (conditional backward stepwise) was performed to select variables independently associated with significant RVPAC improvement. A predictive model including age and the previously selected variables was created.
Results
From August 2001 to July 2017, 554 patients with TAPSE and SPAP data in the initial visit were included. Mean follow-up time was 4.6±3.7 years. At first visit 252 (45.5%) patients had RVPAC <0.36 mm/mmHg. Out of them, RVPAC at 1 year improved in 55 (21.8%). In multivariable analysis, the presence of baseline atrial fibrillation/flutter (OR 0.12 [95% CI 0.05–0.28], p<0.001), SPAP (OR 0.96 [95% CI 0.92–0.99], p=0.014) and female gender (OR 0.34 [95% CI 0.12–0.91], p=0.03) were related to lesser probability of RVPAC improvement at 1 year. A model with such variables, together with age, showed an AUC of 0.824 to predict significant RVPAC improvement.
Conclusions
Atrial fibrillation/flutter, increasing SPAP and female gender hamper RVPAC improvement at 1 year in HF patients with baseline TAPSE/SPAP ratio <0.36.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale The use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) to treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is under investigation in ongoing clinical trials, but the exact mechanism of action is unclear. Here we aimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to characterize the mechanism of action of empagliflozin in HFpEF at the molecular level.
Methods
We retrieved information regarding HFpEF pathophysiological motifs and differentially expressed genes/proteins, together with empagliflozin target information and bioflags, from specialized publicly available databases. Artificial neural networks and deep learning AI were used to model the molecular effects of empagliflozin in HFpEF.
Results
The model predicted that empagliflozin could reverse 59% of the protein alterations found in HFpEF. The effects of empagliflozin in HFpEF appeared to be predominantly mediated by inhibition of NHE1 (Na+/H+ exchanger 1), with SGLT2 playing a less prominent role. The elucidated molecular mechanism of action had an accuracy of 94%. Empagliflozin's pharmacological action mainly affected cardiomyocyte oxidative stress modulation, and greatly influenced cardiomyocyte stiffness, myocardial extracellular matrix remodelling, heart concentric hypertrophy, and systemic inflammation. Validation of these in silico data was performed in vivo in patients with HFpEF by measuring the declining plasma concentrations of NOS2, the NLPR3 inflammasome, and TGF-β1 during 12 months of empagliflozin treatment.
Conclusion
Using AI modelling, we identified that the main effect of empagliflozin in HFpEF treatment is exerted via NHE1 and is focused on cardiomyocyte oxidative stress modulation. These results support the potential use of empagliflozin in HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prognosis in heart failure (HF) may differ between women and men. However, data is conflicting and sex-related differences in prognosis may be determined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) status. We sought to evaluate the prognostic differences between women and men with HF following an admission for acute HF (AHF).
Methods
We included 4,812 patients consecutively admitted for AHF in a multicenter registry from 3 hospitals in Valencia (Spain). Study endpoints were all-cause, cardiovascular (CV), and HF-related mortality at 6-months follow-up. Multivariable Cox regression models were fitted to investigate sex-related differences across LVEF status.
Results
2,243 (46.6%) patients were women and 2,569 (53.4%) were men. 2,608 (54.2%) patients had HF with preserved ejection fraction. At 6-months follow-up, 645 patients died (13.4%), being 544 (11.3%) and 416 (8.6%) CV and HF-related deaths, respectively. LVEF was not independently associated to mortality risk (HR=1.02; 95% CI 0.99–1.05; p=0.135). After multivariate adjustment, we found no sex-related differences in all-cause mortality (p-value for interaction=0.168). However, a significant interaction between sex and the risk of CV and HF mortality was found across LVEF status (p-value for interaction= 0.030 and 0.007; respectively). Compared to men, women had a significant lower risk of CV-mortality and HF-mortality at LVEF<25% and <42%, respectively. On the contrary, women showed a higher risk of HF-mortality at the upper extreme of LVEF (>75%) (Figure, panel A and B).
Conclusions
Following an admission for AHF, no sex-related differences were found in the risk of all-cause mortality. However, compared to men, women showed a lower risk of CV and HF-mortality at the lower extreme of LVEF. On the contrary, they showed a higher risk of HF-death at the upper extreme.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Limited data are available on the very long-term trajectory of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with chronic heart failure (HF).
Purpose
To assess the GFR dynamics estimated by CKD-EPI in a real-life cohort of HF patients over a 14-year follow-up.
Methods
In a prospective observational registry of real-life HF outpatients, estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated by CKD-EPI at baseline and on a structured schedule every 3 months up to 14 years. We included in the analysis only eGFR values that were assessed at scheduled visits, discarding urgent renal function assessments. Loess (locally weighted error sum of squares) curves were plotted for the whole cohort and subgroups according to vital status up to 14 years of follow-up. Loess curves are useful to observe a trend or relationship on nonlinear data observed over time.
Results
2423 patients were consecutively included from August 2001 to December 2018. Mean age was 67.0±12.7 years, 28,8% were women and 71.1% had HF with reduced ejection fraction (EF<40%). Out of 37360 eGFR values, 25458 were included in the analysis with a median of 8 values per patient [IQR 4–15] and a range between 1 and 47.
Significant changes occurred along the whole trajectory. An initial decline in eGFR was observed during the first three years of follow-up. Subsequently, there was an upward trend during the following five years and after that period a progressive decline was seen until the end of follow-up (Figure 1). In the sub-group of patients who died during follow-up the eGFR slope showed a persistent decline over time of ∼1ml/min/1.73m2 per year. On the contrary, patients who survived to follow-up maintained a stable eGFR (Figure 2).
Conclusions
The eGFR long-term trajectory in patients with chronic HF showed a snaky pattern with an early decrease, mid-term improvement and late progressive decline. Patients who died during follow-up presented a progressive decline from the beginning.

Introduction and objectives. Management of the elderly with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is challenging. We explore the prognostic value and the usefulness for decision-making of the ischemic burden determined by vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in elderly patients with known or suspected CCS.
Methods. The study group was made up of 2496 patients older than 70 years submitted to vasodilator stress CMR for known or suspected CCS. The ischemic burden (number of segments with stress-induced perfusion deficit) was calculated following the 17-segment model. Its association with all-cause mortality and the effect of CMR-guided revascularization were analyzed retrospectively.
Results. During a median follow-up of 4.58 years, 430 deaths (17.2%) were recorded. A larger ischemic burden was an independent predictor of mortality: hazard ratio [95% confidence intervals]: 1.04 [1.01-1.07] for each additional ischemic segment, p = 0.006). This association also occurred in patients over 80 years of age and in women (p < 0.001). Compared to non-revascularized patients, revascularization associated with worse outcomes at low ischemic burden and exerted protective prognostic effect in patients with extensive ischemia both in the whole group (p for interaction = 0.003) and in 496 patients matched 1:1 by a propensity score (p = 0.06).
Conclusions. Vasodilator stress CMR represents a valuable tool to stratify risk in elderly patients with CCS and might be helpful to guide decision-making in this scenario.

Bachground. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) is negatively associated with cardiac structure and worse prognosis after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), involved in endothelium adhesion, is an understudied area in the MVO setting.
Purpose. We aimed to evaluate whether EpCAM is associated with the appearance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived MVO and long-term systolic function in reperfused STEMI.
Methods. We prospectively included 106 patients with a first STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, quantifying serum levels of EpCAM 24 hours post-reperfusion. All patients underwent CMR imaging 1 week and 6 months post-STEMI. The independent correlation of EpCAM with MVO, systolic volume indices, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated.
Results. The mean age of the sample was 59 ± 13 years and 76% were male. Patients were dichotomized according to EpCAM median (4.48 pg/mL). At 1-week CMR, lower EpCAM was related to extensive MVO (p-value = 0.02) and greater infarct size (p-value = 0.02). At presentation, only EpCAM values were significantly associated with the presence of MVO in univariate (Odds Ratio [95% confidence interval] (OR [95% CI]): 0.58 [0.38-0.88], p-value = 0.01) and multivariate logistic regression models (OR [95% CI]: 0.54 [0.34-0.85], p-value = 0.007). Although MVO tends to resolve at chronic phases, decreased EpCAM was associated with worse systolic function: depressed LVEF (p-value = 0.009) and higher left ventricular end-systolic volume (p-value = 0.04).
Conclusions. EpCAM is associated with occurrence of CMR-derived MVO at acute phases and long-term adverse ventricular remodeling post-STEMI. Future studies are needed to confirm EpCAM as biomarker, and eventually biotarget in STEMI pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Damage-control laparotomy (DCL) has been used for traumatic and nontraumatic indications. We studied factors associated with delirium and outcome in this population. METHODS We reviewed DCL patients at 15 centers for 2 years, including demographics, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), diagnosis, operations, and outcomes. We compared 30-day mortality; renal failure requiring dialysis; number of takebacks; hospital, ventilator, and intensive care unit (ICU) days; and delirium-free and coma-free proportion of the first 30 ICU days (DF/CF-ICU-30) between trauma (T) and nontrauma (NT) patients. We performed linear regression for DF/CF-ICU-30, including age, sex, CCI, achievement of primary fascial closure (PFC), small and large bowel resection, bowel discontinuity, abdominal vascular procedures, and trauma as covariates. We performed one-way analysis of variance for DF/CF-ICU-30 against traumatic brain injury severity as measured by Abbreviated Injury Scale for the head. RESULTS Among 554 DCL patients (25.8% NT), NT patients were older (58.9 ± 15.8 vs. 39.7 ± 17.0 years, p < 0.001), more female (45.5% vs. 22.1%, p < 0.001), and had higher CCI (4.7 ± 3.3 vs. 1.1 ± 2.2, p < 0.001). The number of takebacks (1.7 ± 2.6 vs. 1.5 ± 1.2), time to first takeback (32.0 hours), duration of bowel discontinuity (47.0 hours), and time to PFC were similar (63.2 hours, achieved in 73.5%). Nontrauma and T patients had similar ventilator, ICU, and hospital days and mortality (31.0% NT, 29.8% T). Nontrauma patients had higher rates of renal failure requiring dialysis (36.6% vs. 14.1%, p < 0.001) and postoperative abdominal sepsis (40.1% vs. 17.1%, p < 0.001). Trauma and NT patients had similar number of hours of sedative (89.9 vs. 65.5 hours, p = 0.064) and opioid infusions (106.9 vs. 96.7 hours, p = 0.514), but T had lower DF/CF-ICU-30 (51.1% vs. 73.7%, p = 0.029), indicating more delirium. Linear regression analysis indicated that T was associated with a 32.1% decrease (95% CI, 14.6%-49.5%; p < 0.001) in DF/CF-ICU-30, while achieving PFC was associated with a 25.1% increase (95% CI, 10.2%-40.1%; p = 0.001) in DF/CFICU-30. Increasing Abbreviated Injury Scale for the head was associated with decreased DF/CF-ICU-30 by analysis of variance (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Nontrauma patients had higher incidence of postoperative abdominal sepsis and need for dialysis, while T was independently associated with increased delirium, perhaps because of traumatic brain injury.

Background. In recent guidelines, non-invasive imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the management of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The elderly represent a large percentage of our routine CCS population and risk stratification in this scenario is challenging. The potential of vasodilator stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for this purpose is unknown.
Purpose. We explore the prognostic value and the usefulness for decision-making of the ischemic burden determined by vasodilator stress CMR imaging in a large cohort of elderly patients with known or suspected CCS.
Methods. The study group was made up of 2496 patients older than 70 years submitted to vasodilator stress CMR for known or suspected CCS in our health department from 2001 to 2016 (mean age 76 ± 4 years, 52% male). Clinical and vasodilator stress CMR characteristics were prospectively recorded. The ischemic burden (number of segments with stress-induced perfusion deficit) was calculated following the 17-segment model. Its association with all-cause mortality and the effect of vasodilator stress CMR-guided revascularization (within the following 3 months) were analyzed retrospectively.
Results. During a median follow-up of 4.58 years, 430 deaths (17.2%) were recorded. A larger ischemic burden was an independent predictor of mortality: hazard ratio [95% confidence intervals]: 1.04 [1.01-1.07] for each additional ischemic segment, p = 0.006). This association also occurred in patients over 80 years of age and in women (p < 0.001). Compared to non-revascularized patients, revascularization associated with worse outcomes at low ischemic burden and exerted protective prognostic effect in patients with extensive ischemia both in the whole group (p for interaction = 0.003) and in 496 patients matched 1:1 by a propensity score (p = 0.06).
Conclusions. Vasodilator stress CMR represents a valuable tool to stratify risk in elderly patients with known or suspected CCS and might be helpful to guide decision-making in this scenario.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Three heart failure (HF) web-based risk scores are currently used in clinical practice. Two only include clinical variables; one adds biomarkers, known to refine pathophysiological pathways in HF and to improve mortality prediction.
Objective
To assess inter-score agreement and to compare mortality prediction discrimination between MAGGIC-HF risk score, Seattle HF Model (SHFM) and Barcelona Bio-HF Risk Calculator (BCN Bio-HF), which includes both clinical and biomarker variables (NTproBNP).
Methods
Out of 1745 consecutive patients with HF from different etiologies admitted at our Unit from May 2006 to November 2018, 1689 with NTproBNP measurement at first visit were included. Absolute and consistency intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) at individual level among the three risk estimation tools was assessed. Bland Altman graphics were used to illustrate the differences between scores across the broad spectrum of mortality risk. Discrimination of the three prediction tools was compared by AUC of the ROC curves for 1-, 3- and 5-year all-cause mortality. Patients used previously to derivate the BCN Bio-HF were excluded.
Results
Patients age 66.3±13.3 years, 70.4% men, LVEF 36.4%±14.4, ischemic etiology 43.7%. Absolute ICC was poor for the three tools (from 0.18 [–0.006 to 0.35] to 0.53 [0.42 to 0.62], while consistency ICC was slightly better (from 0.28 [0.24 to 0.33] to 0.57 [0.53 to 0.60], being highest the ICC of MAGGIC-HF and BCN Bio-HF. Correlation was better among scores in low-mortality risk profile patients but clinical scores tended to infraestimate the risk in comparison with the BCN Bio-HF in high-risk patients (Figure). Discrimination was numerically better with the BCN Bio-HF at every time risk (Table), significantly better when compared with SHFM.
Conclusions
In comparison with other clinical scores, the BCN Bio-HF calculator predicted better higher mortality risk. Correlation was globally poor for the three tools at individual level, although improved in the low risk patients. Discrimination tended to be numerically better with the BCN Bio-HF calculator, reaching statistical significance when compared with the SHFM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) contemporary management has significantly improved over the past two decades leading to better survival. How application of the contemporary HF management guidelines affects the risk of death estimated by available web-based risk scores is not elucidated.
Objective
To assess changes in mortality risk prediction after a after a 12-month management period in a multidisciplinary HF Clinic.
Methods
Out of 1,689 consecutive patients with HF admitted at our ambulatory HF Clinic from May 2006 to November 2018, those who completed one year follow-up were considered for the study. Patients without NTproBNP measurement or with more than 3 missing variables for risk estimation were excluded. Three contemporary web-based HF risk scores were evaluated: MAGGIC-HF, Seattle HF Model (SHFM) and the Barcelona Bio-HF Calculator containing NTproBNP (BCN Bio-HF). Risk of all-cause death at one year and at 3 years were calculated at baseline and re-evaluated after 12-month management in a multidsisciplinary HF Clinic. Wilcoxon paired data test was used to compare changes in mortality risk estimation over time and test equality of matched pairs for comparing estimated change among tools. 442 patients used to derive the Barcelona Bio-HF Calculator were excluded for discrimination purposes.
Results
1,157 patients were included (age 65.7±12.7 years, 70.4% men). A significant reduction in mortality risk estimation was observed with the three HF risk scores evaluated at 12-months (Table). The BCN Bio-HF model showed significantly different changes in risk estimation, fact that indeed was partnered with numerically better discrimination. AUC at 1 and 3 years, respectively, were: BCN Bio-HF (0.773 and 0.775), MAGGIC HF (0.686 and 0.748) and SHFM (0.773 and 0.739).
Conclusions
The three web-based risk scores evaluated showed a significant reduction in mortality risk estimation after 12 month management in a multidisciplinary HF Clinic. The BCN Bio-HF score showed higher reduction in estimated risk, together with better discrimination, likely because it incorporates contemporary treatment and use of biomarkers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart Failure (HF) is the first cause of hospitalizations in people older than 65 years. Often patients suffer recurrent hospital admissions.
Objective
To assess recurrent HF-related hospitalizations during very long-term follow-up in a cohort of HF outpatients managed in an ambulatory structured HF Unit.
Methods
End of follow-up was 31.8.2019 (at least 1-year follow-up for alive patients, up to 18 years). Heart failure hospitalizations were defined as unplanned hospitalizations of at least 24 hours due to worsening heart failure and were identified from clinic records, hospital wards, or electronic Catalan history record. Death was recorded from the same sources and Spanish Health System and Spanish Death Registry. Lost information during follow-up was adequately censored (1 patient for survival status and 37 for HF-related hospitalizations).
Results
A total of 2355 patients were included. Follow-up span a total of 12,472 patients-years. 1682 HF-related hospitalizations were recorded in 725 patients (13.5 per 100 patients-years). Number of admissions ranged from 0 in 1630 patients to 22 in 1 patient (patients with hospitalizations, median 2 [Q1-Q3, 1–3]; 118 patients had 4 or more hospitalizations). HF hospitalization density incidence was higher during the 10 first years in patients with HF hospitalizations in the precedent year before HF Clinic baseline visit (table). By contrast, if only patients who died during follow-up were considered (N=1299), hospitalization trends significantly increased in their last period of life: 11.7%, 8.9%, 13.6%, 20.8% and 44.9% from the first to the last period (quintile) of their trajectory, respectively.
Conclusions
HF hospitalizations occur during the whole HF trajectory, with an increasing trend at the end of the every patient trajectory.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neprilysin serum levels (sNEP) exhibited significant prognostic value in patients with heart failure (HF). In the PARADIGM-HF study benefit of sacubitril/valsartan was observed in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), while in the PARAGON-HF benefit was only observed in the subgroup of patients with LVEF <57%.
Objective
To assess the prognostic value of sNEP in ambulatory patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and LVEF >57% (group 1), in comparison with patients with LVEF ≤57% (group 2).
Methods
Consecutive patients with HF attended at the Unit from May 2006 to February 2016 were considered for the study. The primary end-point was the composite of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization. All-cause death, cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization and the composite of all-cause death or HF hospitalization were secondary end-points. Competing risk methods (R package by Bob Gray for SPSS) were used when required.
Results
sNEP was measured in 1428 patients (age 67.7±12.7, 70.3% men, LVEF 35.8% ±14, 48.9% from ischemic etiology), 144 of which had a LVEF >57% (age 70.1±15, 43.8% men, 53.5% from hypertensive or valvular etiologies). sNEP levels did not significantly differ between the two groups of patients (p=0.31). During a mean follow-up of 6±3.9 years, 856 deaths were recorded (459 from cardiovascular causes) and 523 patients suffered at least one HF hospitalization. The primary end-point occurred in 941 patients (in 111 of the 144 patients with LVEF >57%). Table 1 shows sNEP age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratios for the primary and secondary end-points.
Conclusions
sNEP prognostic value in patients with HFpEF and LVEF >57% outperforms that observed in patients with lower LVEF. These data support the personalized use of sNEP in identifying HFpEF patients that may benefit from treatment with sacubitril/valsartan.

Abstract
Abstract
Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) has been recognized as a distinct HF phenotype, but wether patients on this category fare worse, similarly, or better than those with HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) or preserved EF (HFpEF) in terms of rehospitalization risk over time remains unclear. We therefore sought to characterize the mordibity burden of HFmrEF patients by evaluating the risk of recurrent hospitalizations following an admission for acute HF.
Methods
We prospectively included 2,961 consecutive patients discharged for acute HF in our institution from 2004 to 2017. Patients were categorized according to their ejection fraction (EF) obtained by an echocardiography during the index admission: HFmrEF (EF 41–49%), HFrEF (EF≤40%) and HFpEF (EF≥50%). Negative binomial regression method was used to evaluate the association between EF status and recurrent all-cause and HF-related admissions. Risk estimates were expressed as incidence ratio ratios (IRR).
Results
Mean age of the cohort was 73.9±11.1 years, 49% were women, and 46.0% had suffered from previous HF admissions. 472 patients (15.9%) had HFmrEF, 956 (32.3%) had HFrEF, and 1,533 (51.8%) had HFpEF. At a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 2.4 (4.4) years, 1,821 (61.5%) patients died and 6,035 all-cause readmissions were registered in 2,026 patients (68.4%), being 2,163 of them HF-related. Rates of all-cause readmission per 100 patients-years of follow-up were 43.4, 47.1 and 50.1 per HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF categories, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, and compared to patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF status was not associated with a higher risk of all-cause or HF-related recurrent admissions (IRR=1.06; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.93–1.20; p=0.89), and IRR=1.07; 95% CI, 0.91–1.26; p=0.389, respectively), whereas HFpEF status was associated with a non-significant increase in the risk of all-cause recurrent admissions but a similar risk of HF-related readmissions (IRR=1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.99–1.22; p=0.06, and IRR=1.01; 95% CI, 0.88–1.16; p=0.900, respectively)
Conclusion
Following an admission for acute HF, patients with HFmrEF have a similar all-cause and HF-related rehospitalization burden when compared to patients with HFrEF, by means of recurrent events analysis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Charlson's is the most used comorbidity index. It comprises 19 comorbidities, some of which are infrequent in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while some others are manifestations of cardiac disease rather than comorbidities.
Purpose
Our goal was to simplify comorbidity assessment in elderly non-ST-segment elevation ACS patients.
Methods
The study group consisted of 1 training (n=920, 76±7 years) and 1 testing (n=532; 84±4 years) cohorts. The end-point was all-cause mortality at 1-year follow-up. Comorbidities were assessed selecting those medical disorders other than cardiac disease that were independently associated with mortality by multivariable analysis.
Results
A total of 130 (14%) patients died in the training cohort. Six comorbidities were predictive: renal failure, anemia, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease and chronic lung disease. The increase in the number of comorbidities yielded a gradient of risk on top of well-known clinical predictors: ≥3 comorbidities (27% mortality, HR=1.90, 95% CI 1.20–3.03, p=0.006); 2 comorbidities (16% mortality, HR=1.29, 95% CI 0.81–2.04, p=0.30); and 0–1 comorbidities (7.6% mortality, reference category). The discrimination accuracy (C-statistic= 0.80) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p=0.20) of the predictive model using the 6 comorbidities was comparable to the predictive model using the Charlson index (C-statistic=0.80; Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p=0.70). Similar results were reproduced in the testing cohort (≥3 comorbidities: 24% mortality, HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.25–4.49, p=0.008; 2 comorbidities: 14% mortality, HR=1.59, 95% CI 0.82–3.07, p=0.20; 0–1 comorbidities: 7.5% reference category).

Conclusion
A simplified comorbidity assessment comprising 6 comorbidities provides useful risk stratification in elderly patients with ACS

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Advances in heart failure (HF) treatment have achieved a reduction of death in HF patients in the last two decades. Indeed, not only mortality has been reduced but also the mode of death might have been modified through these years.
Purpose
To assess the causes of death in outpatients attended in a HF Unit since the year 2002 up to the year 2018.
Methods
Causes of death were classified as follows: progression of HF (worsening HF or treatment-resistant HF, in the absence of another cause); sudden death (any unexpected death, witnessed or not, of a previously stable patient with no evidence of worsening HF or any other known cause of death); acute myocardial infarction; stroke; procedural (post-diagnostic or post-therapeutic); other cardiovascular causes (e.g., rupture of an aneurysm, peripheral ischemia, or aortic dissection), and non-cardiovascular. Patients who died of unknown cause were excluded from the analysis. Fatal events were identified from the clinical records of patients with HF, hospital wards, the emergency room, general practitioners, or by contacting the patient's relatives. Furthermore, data were verified from the databases of the Catalan and Spanish Health Systems. Trends on every cause of death were assessed by linear regression.
Results
Since August 2001 to May 2018, 2295 HF patients were admitted to the HF clinic (age 66.4±12.8 years, 71% men, 49% from ischemic aetiology, mean LVEF 35.2% ± 14). During the 17 years of the study, 1201 deaths were recorded. Seventy-eight patients (6.5% of deaths) were excluded due to unknown cause of death. The evolution in the mode of death by years is shown in the figure. Two trends were observed: a decrease in sudden death (p=0.05) and a very significant linear increase in non-cardiovascular causes of death (p<0.001). The decrease of sudden death was mainly driven from changes observed in the first 10 years (p=0.014); thereafter the incidence of sudden death remained stable (p=0.18). Remarkably we did not observe significant changes in HF progression as mode of death (p=0.17).
Conclusions
During the 17 years of the study, a very significant trend towards higher percentage of non-cardiovascular deaths was progressively observed. On the other hand, percentage of sudden death showed a gradual decrease, mainly driven from the changes observed in the first 10 years.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Among ICD patients, the burden of non-sustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVT) occurring during the first 6 months after implant is associated independently with an increase in cardiac death. It is unknown whether there are differences between the incidence of Electrical Storm (ES) and the cause of cardiac mortality (CM) according to the burden of NSVT.
Purpose
To determine the relationship between the burden of NSVT occurring early after ICD implant and the risk of ES in the long-term among ICD patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Methods
In this prospective study, 416 patients (age: 65±11; LVEF: 30±8; ischemic etiology: 62%, primary prevention: 63%) with LVEF <45% and ICD without cardiac resynchronization therapy were followed-up for 41±27 after implant. ICD programming was standardized. NSVT was defined as any ventricular tachyarrhythmia with >5 beats at ≥150 bpm terminating spontaneously before therapy that occurred within the first six months after ICD implant.
Results
A total of 31 patients (7.5%) presenting with ES during the follow-up. After classifying the subjects into three groups according to the burden of NSVT (tertiles): no NSVT (N=166, group 1); 1–5 NSVT (n=130, group 2) and >5 NSVT (n=120, group 3), the cumulative incidence of ES was higher in group 3: 2.4% vs. 3.1% vs. 19.2%, with an average of time from implant to ES significantly shorter (mean [95% CI, months]): 97 (94–100) vs. 103 (99–106) vs. 86 (79–93); p<0.001 for groups 1–2 vs. 3 (log-rank test). Figure. All ESs were due to monomorphic VT in individuals with ≤5 NSVT; however, 19% of ESs were caused by polymorphic VT or VF among patients with >5 NSVT (p<0.05). By multivariate analysis (Cox-regression), LVEF, % (HR=1.06; p=0.026) and >5 TVNS (HR=4.66; p=0.001) were identified as independent predictors of ES. Cardiac mortality (CM) was independently higher in subjects with >5 NSVT (HR=1.7; p=0.03). The most frequent cause of CM was cardiac failure irrespective of NSVT burden (93% in patients with ≤5 NSVT and 79% in >5 NSVT); however CM due to ES was exclusive of individuals with >5 NSVT: 15% vs. 0% (p<0.05).
Figure 1
Conclusions
1. The burden of NSVT occurring during the first 6 months after an ICD implant is associated independently with a higher risk of ES in the long-term. 2. The adjusted risk of ES is 4-fold higher in individuals with >5 NSVT. 3. The most frequent etiology of CM is heart failure; CM due to ES is exclusive of patients with >5 NSVT causing the 15% of deaths in such population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has traditionally been used as the cornerstone for risk stratification after STEMI and it can be accurately quantified by cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). In recent years, the additional prognostic value of contrast CMR-derived infarct size (IS) and microvascular obstruction (MVO) soon after infarction has been demonstrated. The usefulness of CMR-derived LVEF in chronic phase for risk stratification late after STEMI is unclear.
Purpose
We hypothesized that 6-month CMR-derived LVEF can contribute in the prediction of clinical events late after STEMI beyond pre-discharge LVEF, IS and MVO.
Methods
Data were obtained from a prospective registry of reperfused STEMI patients (n=456) who were stable 6 months after infarction and in whom 1-week and 6-month CMR-derived LVEF, IS and MVO were sequentially quantified. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as a combined clinical end-point that included death or re-admission for acute decompensated heart failure (r-ADHF), whichever occurred first, occurring after the 6-month CMR.
Results
During a mean and median follow-up of 6 years, 56 late MACE (12%, 32 deaths and 24 r-ADHF) were registered. From 1-week to 6-month, CMR parameters exhibited significant dynamic changes (p<0.001): LVEF improved (52±12 vs. 56±13%), IS decreased (21±14 vs. 18±12% of LV mass) and MVO vanished (2±4 vs. 0±1% of LV mass). At 6-month CMR, 60 patients (13%) displayed reduced LVEF (<40%), 69 (15%) mid-range LVEF (40–50%) and 327 (72%) preserved LVEF (≥50%). Late MACE rates were 28% in patients with reduced LVEF, 14% in those with mid-range LVEF and 9% in those with preserved LVEF at 6-month CMR (p<0.001 for the trend). After adjustment for baseline characteristics and for 1-week and 6-month CMR parameters, more preserved LVEF at 6 months independently associated with a lower risk of MACE late after STEMI (hazard ratio 0.96 [0.94–0.98] per 1% increase).
Conclusions
Dramatic dynamic changes occur in CMR parameters within the first months after STEMI. Reassessment of CMR-derived LVEF in chronic phase in those patients who remain stable provides relevant prognostic information for long-term risk stratification.

Abstract
The ability to determine the composition and relative frequencies of fish species in large ichthyoplankton swarms could have extremely important ecological applications However, this task is currently hampered by methodological limitations. We proposed a new method for Amazonian species based on hybridization capture of the COI gene DNA from a distant species (Danio rerio), absent from our study area (the Amazon basin). The COI sequence of this species is approximately equidistant from all COI of Amazonian species available. By using this sequence as probe we successfully facilitated the simultaneous identification of fish larvae belonging to the order Siluriformes and to the Characiformes represented in our ichthyoplankton samples. Species relative frequencies, estimated by the number of reads, showed almost perfect correlations with true frequencies estimated by a Sanger approach, allowing the development of a quantitative approach. We also proposed a further improvement to a previous protocol, which enables lowering the sequencing effort by 40 times. This new Metabarcoding by Capture using a Single Probe (MCSP) methodology could have important implications for ecology, fisheries management and conservation in fish biodiversity hotspots worldwide. Our approach could easily be extended to other plant and animal taxa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if fixed dose enoxaparin prophylaxis provided effective anticoagulation for acute care surgery patients and to examine whether a real-time enoxaparin dose adjustment algorithm optimized anticoagulation. METHODS Acute care surgical patients placed on enoxaparin prophylaxis 30 mg twice daily were recruited prospectively. Peak steady state aFXa levels were drawn with a goal peak aFXa range of 0.2-0.4 IU/ml. A real time dose adjustment algorithm was implemented for patients with out-of-range levels. RESULTS Fifty five patients were included. 56.4% of patients had low aFXa levels (<0.2 IU/mL). Real-time enoxaparin dose adjustment significantly increased the proportion of patients who achieved in-range peak aFXa levels, compared to standard dosing (74.5% vs 41.8%, p < 0.001). Patients with initial inadequate peak aFXa levels had a higher rate of 90-day post-operative VTE, although not statistically significant (16.1% vs. 8.3%, p = 0.50). CONCLUSION The majority of acute care surgery patients receive inadequate VTE prophylaxis with fixed enoxaparin dosing.

Abstract
Data on 68 146 hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) (53% autologous and 47% allogeneic) gathered by 1566 teams from 77 countries and reported through their regional transplant organizations were analyzed by main indication, donor type and stem cell source for the year 2012. With transplant rates ranging from 0.1 to 1001 per 10 million inhabitants, more HSCTs were registered from unrelated 16 433 donors than related 15 493 donors. Grafts were collected from peripheral blood (66%), bone marrow (24%; mainly non-malignant disorders) and cord blood (10%). Compared with 2006, an increase of 46% total (57% allogeneic and 38% autologous) was observed. Growth was due to an increase in reporting teams (18%) and median transplant activity/team (from 38 to 48 HSCTs/team). An increase of 167% was noted in mismatched/haploidentical family HSCT. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis revealed the global perspective of WBMT to be its major strength and identified potential to be the key professional body for patients and authorities. The limited data collection remains its major weakness and threat. In conclusion, global HSCT grows over the years without plateauing (allogeneic>autologous) and at different rates in the four World Health Organization regions. Major increases were observed in allogeneic, haploidentical HSCT and, to a lesser extent, in cord blood transplantation.

Abstract
The identity of 172 isolates of Pythium spp. from cavity spot lesions on carrot produced in California and Michigan was determined, and their sensitivity to three fungicides was examined. Pythium violae accounted for 85% of California isolates, with P. irregulare, P. dissotocum (the first report as a carrot pathogen in the United States), P. ultimum, and P. sulcatum making the balance. P. sulcatum, P. sylvaticum, and P. intermedium were the most commonly recovered (85%) species in Michigan; others from Michigan included P. intermedium, P. irregulare, and an unclassified strain, M2-05. On fungicide-amended media, 93% of isolates were sensitive to mefenoxam (inhibition of mycelial growth was >60% at 10 μg active ingredient [a.i.]/ml); however, two of five isolates of P. irregulare from California were highly resistant (≤60% inhibition at 100 μg a.i./ml); about half of the isolates of P. intermedium and P. sylvaticum and a single isolate of P. violae were highly or intermediately resistant to mefenoxam (>60% inhibition at 100 μg a.i./ml, or ≤60% inhibition at 10 μg a.i./ml). P. dissotocum, P. irregulare, P. sulcatum, M2-05, and three of seven isolates of P. intermedium were insensitive to fluopicolide (effective concentrations for 50% growth inhibition [EC50] were >50 μg a.i./ml), while P. sylvaticum, P. ultimum, P. violae, and some isolates in P. intermedium were sensitive (EC50 < 1 μg a.i./ml). All isolates were sensitive to zoxamide (EC50 < 1 μg a.i./ml). Sensitivity baselines of P. violae to zoxamide and fluopicolide were established.
