“…Histopathologic analyses have revealed a greater prevalence of replacement fibrosis and a lesser degree of myocardial hypertrophy in patients with ICM compared to DCM 13. The mechanisms by which MSCs may have improved cardiac function in patients with DCM include the restoration of endothelial function, which enhances coronary circulation,6, 38 and the reduction of fibrosis and tumor necrosis factor–α, an inflammatory biomarker associated with worsening HF and contractility 39, 40. Those with ICM likely benefit mostly from the stem cells’ antifibrotic properties through reduction in scar size and subsequent reverse remodeling as indicated by a reduction in SI and ESV 7, 29.…”

BackgroundIschemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) differ in histopathology and prognosis. Although transendocardial delivery of mesenchymal stem cells is safe and provides cardiovascular benefits in both, a comparison of mesenchymal stem cell efficacy in ICM versus DCM has not been done.Methods and ResultsWe conducted a subanalysis of 3 single‐center, randomized, and blinded clinical trials: (1) TAC‐HFT (Transendocardial Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Mononuclear Bone Marrow Cells in Ischemic Heart Failure Trial); (2) POSEIDON (A Phase I/II, Randomized Pilot Study of the Comparative Safety and Efficacy of Transendocardial Injection of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Versus Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients With Chronic Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction Secondary to Myocardial Infarction); and (3) POSEIDON‐DCM (Percutaneous Stem Cell Injection Delivery Effects on Neomyogenesis in Dilated Cardiomyopathy). Baseline and 1‐year cardiac structure and function and quality‐of‐life data were compared in a post hoc pooled analysis including ICM (n=46) and DCM (n=33) patients who received autologous or allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells. Ejection fraction improved in DCM by 7% (within‐group, P=0.002) compared to ICM (1.5%; within‐group, P=0.14; between‐group, P=0.003). Similarly, stroke volume increased in DCM by 10.59 mL (P=0.046) versus ICM (−0.2 mL; P=0.73; between‐group, P=0.02). End‐diastolic volume improved only in ICM (10.6 mL; P=0.04) and end‐systolic volume improved only in DCM (17.8 mL; P=0.049). The sphericity index decreased only in ICM (−0.04; P=0.0002). End‐diastolic mass increased in ICM (23.1 g; P<0.0001) versus DCM (−4.1 g; P=0.34; between‐group, P=0.007). The 6‐minute walk test improved in DCM (31.1 m; P=0.009) and ICM (36.3 m; P=0.006) with no between‐group difference (P=0.79). The New York Heart Association class improved in DCM (P=0.005) and ICM (P=0.02; between‐group P=0.20). The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire improved in DCM (−19.5; P=0.002) and ICM (−6.4; P=0.03; δ between‐group difference P=0.042) patients.ConclusionsMesenchymal stem cell therapy is beneficial in DCM and ICM patients, despite variable effects on cardiac phenotypic outcomes. Whereas cardiac function improved preferentially in DCM patients, ICM patients experienced reverse remodeling. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy enhanced quality of life and functional capacity in both etiologies.Clinical Trial Registration URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

“…The major effect of age on the vasculature is systolic hypertension with widening of the pulse pressure that results from age‐related increase in arterial stiffness and early wave reflections 43, 44. Arterial stiffening and early wave reflections are steady vascular features in HFpEF 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52. In the proximal arterial tree, vascular smooth cell loss of elastin increases systolic arterial pressure by lessening the “windkessel” effect 44, 45, 53.…”

BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with a wide range of comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, but its association with heart failure (HF) is not fully clear. We investigated the risk of incident HF in a nationwide cohort of patients with RA.Methods and ResultsThe study comprised the entire Danish population aged ≥18 years followed from January 1, 2008 until first hospitalization for HF, emigration, December 31, 2012, or death. Information on comorbidity, medication, and socioeconomic status was identified by individual‐level linkage of administrative registers. Patients with a rheumatologist diagnosis of RA between 1978 and 2008 were included. The primary study outcome was incident HF defined as first hospital admission for HF. Incidence rates of HF per 1000 person‐years were calculated and incidence rate ratios adjusted for age, sex, calendar year, comorbidity, medications, socioeconomic status, smoking, and alcohol consumption were estimated. A total of 4 305 225 subjects with no history of HF were eligible for analysis at the study start. Of these subjects, 24 343 developed RA and 50 623 were hospitalized for HF. Overall incidence rates of incident HF were 2.43 and 6.64 for the reference population (n=49 879) and patients with RA (n=744), respectively. Correspondingly, the fully adjusted incidence rate ratio for incident HF was increased in patients with RA with incidence rate ratio 1.30 (95% confidence interval, 1.17–1.45).ConclusionsIn this cohort study, RA was associated with an increased hospitalization for HF. These findings add significantly to the existing evidence of RA as a clinically relevant risk factor for HF.
