Aims To assess the prognostic importance of high-sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) in patients with mild to moderate aortic valve stenosis during placebo or simvastatin/ezetimibe treatment in ...

Background Many observational studies highlight clonal haematopoiesis (CH) as a novel determinant of cardiovascular disease ...

Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative treatment for aortic regurgitation (AR) in patients at high surgical risk. However, evidence comparing outcomes ...

Objective Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the most devastating outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We evaluated repolarisation features on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify the ...

Objective To test the effectiveness of an impedance cardiography (ICG) guided treatment strategy on improving blood pressure (BP) control in real-world clinical practice. Design A single-centre, ...

Objective Clinical data on the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in myopericarditis are limited. Since NSAIDs are standard therapy in pericarditis, we retrospectively ...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is characterised by reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after restoration of sinus rhythm (SR). The need for continued ...

Objective To clarify whether atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a comprehensive indicator reflecting both the protective and ...

Objectives To determine contemporary population estimates of the prevalence of cardiac permanent pacemaker (PPM) insertions. Methods A population-based observational study using linked hospital ...

Background Aortogenic stroke is an important subtype of embolic strokes, yet lacks a diagnostic method for proactive identification. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) is a catheter-based ...

Background Routine invasive management by coronary angiography and revascularisation as appropriate reduces recurrent ischaemic events in non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), but its ...
