Aims: Metabolic and structural perturbations in skeletal muscle have been found in patients with heart failure (HF) both with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction in association with reduced muscle endurance (RME). We aimed in the current study to create phenotypes for patients with…
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a chemotherapeutic agent with cardiotoxicity associated with profibrotic effects. Dox increases ceramide levels with pro-inflammatory effects, cell death, and fibrosis. The purpose of our study was to identify the underlying ceramide signaling pathways. We aimed to characterize the…
Abstract Aim Aim of our study was to evaluate metabolic changes in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) before and after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to assess whether this procedure reverses metabolomic alterations. Methods 188 plasma metabolites of 30 patients with severe high-gradient…
