Article Abstract
Aims: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease affecting 64 million people worldwide and places a severe burden on society because of its mortality, numerous re-hospitalizations and associated costs. HeartLogic™ is an algorithm programmed into implanted devices incorporating several biometric parameters which aims to predict HF episodes. It provides an index which can be monitored remotely, allowing pre-emptive treatment of congestion to prevent acute decompensation. We aim to assess the impact and security of pre-emptive HF management, guided by the HeartLogic™ index.
Methods And Results: The HeartLogic™ France Cohort Study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multi-centre, non-randomized study. Three hundred ten patients with a history of HF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%; or at least one episode of clinical HF with elevated NT-proBNP ≥450 ng/L) and implanted with a cardioverter defibrillator enabling HeartLogic™ index calculation will be included across 10 French centres. The HeartLogic™ index will be monitored remotely for 12 months and in the event of a HeartLogic™ index ≥16, the local investigator will contact the patient for assessment and adjust HF treatment as necessary. The primary endpoint is unscheduled hospitalization for HF. Secondary endpoints are all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, HF-related death, unscheduled hospitalizations for ventricular or atrial arrhythmia and HeartLogic™ index evolution over time. Blood samples will be collected for biobanking, and quality of life will be assessed. Finally, the safety of a HeartLogic™-triggered strategy for initiating or increasing diuretic therapy will be assessed. A blind and independent committee will adjudicate the events.
Conclusions: The HeartLogic™ France Cohort Study will provide robust real-world data in a cohort of HF patients managed with the HeartLogic™ algorithm allowing pre-emptive treatment of heart failure exacerbations.

Increased Plasma ST2 Levels Precede the Development of Severe Acute GvHD and Chronic GvHD After Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.
Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.
Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.
Advancements in Cytomegalovirus Management Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: Insights From the ESOT CMV Workshop 2023.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses significant challenges in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, impacting graft outcomes, morbidity, and in some cases survival. The ESOT CMV Workshop 2023 convened European experts to discuss current practices and advances in the management of CMV with the aim of improving the quality of life of transplant recipients. Discussions covered crucial areas such as preventive strategies, diagnostic challenges, therapeutic approaches, and the role of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) monitoring.

Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a prognostic marker in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). This review examines the role of MRD assessment in guiding treatment strategies. We evaluate key questions, such as the prognostic power of MRD in specific genetic subgroups of AML, the optimal pre-emptive approach for MRD persistence or recurrence, the effect of MRD on allogeneic stem cell transplantation decisions and MRD-guided maintenance considerations.

Reactivations of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in severely immunocompromised patients with serological profiles of past hepatitis B are non-exceptional and potentially severe or fatal events. The preventive and pre-emptive detection of this serological status is compromised in the absence of antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc), observed in a very small number of cases of HBV infection. Here, we describe the case of a patient with a serological profile indicating a HBV vaccination although the patient did not report previous vaccination, following lymphoma and chemotherapy including rituximab.

Objectives: Many patients with major depressive disorder must try multiple antidepressants before they identify a drug that is both effective and tolerable. Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing may provide clinicians with guidance around medication choice based on a patient's drug response-related genetic variants. However, this technology is not routinely used in clinical care in Canada, and the views of key actors in the implementation process are largely unknown.
