Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: This review sought to summarize the current emerging soluble guanylate cyclase activators and stimulators in patients with heart failure, both heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, to provide a reference for soluble guanylate cyclase activators and stimulators discovery.
Recent Findings: Heart failure is a common disease with considerable morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality Soluble guanylate cyclase is a key enzyme in the nitric oxide signaling pathway and has attracted rapidly growing interest as a therapeutic target in heart failure. Currently, several soluble guanylate cyclase agonists are in clinical development. Cinaciguat and praliciguat have shown no clear clinical benefit in patients with heart failure in clinical trials. Riociguat increased the 6-min walk distance, cardiac index, and stroke volume index as well as decreased N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. Although these populations cover nearly every range of ejection fractions, these were not clinical trials directly in patients with heart failure but were designed in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Vericiguat is recommended in the latest American guideline for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; however, it gets mixed results in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. To date, only vericiguat reduces the composite of death from cardiovascular causes or first hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and riociguat might improve clinical symptoms and quality of life in patients with heart failure, both heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. We need more exploration about soluble guanylate cyclase activators and stimulators in patients with heart failure.

Evidence-Based Quality Improvement Strategies to Reduce 30-Day Readmission Rates in Heart Failure Patients.

Heart failure (HF) remains one of the leading causes of 30-day hospital readmissions, presenting a major challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. This comprehensive review synthesizes recent evidence on effective strategies to reduce readmission rates through patient education, self-care interventions, and systemic reforms. Structured education-particularly when reinforced postdischarge through methods like teach-back, tele-coaching, and home visits-has consistently demonstrated improved self-management, symptom recognition, and quality of life.

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.

Clonal hematopoiesis, originally identified as a precursor to hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a significant factor in various nonmalignant diseases. Recent research highlights how somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the expansion of circulating mutated immune cells that exert profound effects on organ function and disease progression. These mutated clones display altered inflammatory profiles and tissue-specific functional consequences, contributing to various diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, heart failure, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Aims: Several diuretic strategies, including furosemide iv boluses (FB) or continuous infusion (FC), are used in acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods And Results: We systematically searched phase 3 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating diuretic regimens in admitted AHF patients within 48 hours and irrespective of clinical stabilization. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) of FC or FB plus another diuretic (sequential nephron blockade, SNB) compared to FB alone on 24-hour weight loss (WL) and worsening renal function (WRF), with a random-effects model with inverse variance weighting.
