Low-risk individuals still experience adverse cardiac events. We sought to evaluate long-term cardiac events and predictors for subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in subjects without indication for statin therapy. We analyzed 3,272 […]
» Read moreBoth time in therapeutic range (TTR) for anticoagulation and depression are associated with dementia risk. The purposes of this study were to examine the impact of depression on TTR and […]
» Read moreHeart failure (HF) and myocardial infarction are serious complications of major noncardiac surgery in older adults. Many factors can contribute to the development of HF during the postoperative period. The […]
» Read moreThe patient reported angina measurement with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) has shown to have prognostic implications and became an endpoint in clinical trials. Our objective was to study physician-reported […]
» Read moreSeveral studies have shown an association between aortic valve stenosis (AS), atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors. These risk factors are frequently encountered in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). […]
» Read morePatients with serious COVID infections develop shock frequently. To characterize the hemodynamic profile of this cohort, 156 patients with COVID pneumonia and shock requiring vasopressors had interpretable echocardiography with measurement […]
» Read moreWhile predicting prognosis to anticipate adverse disease course has long been an aspiration in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), reliable markers of progressive and unrelenting heart failure symptoms in the absence of […]
» Read moreDespite significant advances in evidence-based treatments for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the use of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) at recommended doses remains suboptimal. We examine the […]
» Read moreThe aim of this study was to establish the prevalence and prognostic implication of progressive supraventricular arrhythmias from frequent supraventricular ectopic complexes, isolated, in bi- or trigeminy, to supraventricular tachycardias […]
» Read moreLow dose direct acting oral anticoagulants (LDDOACS) were approved for elderly atrial Fibrillation (AF) patients with limited information. A retrospective analysis collecting baseline characteristics and outcomes in AF patients ≥ […]
» Read moreMultilayer (epi-, mid- and endocardium) left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) reflects the extent of myocardial damage after ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the prognostic implications of multilayer LV […]
» Read moreFerric derisomaltose (FDI) is an intravenous (IV) high-dose iron formulation approved in the US for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adults who are intolerant of/have had an unsatisfactory […]
» Read moreCardiac arrhythmias occur in 3-40% of patients with acute myocarditis and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury also results in abnormal myocardial deformation. The relationship between left ventricular (LV) […]
» Read moreThere is paucity of data examining long-term outcomes of premature coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of patients with premature CAD treated […]
» Read moreData from previous heart failure (HF) trials suggest that patients with mild symptoms (NYHA II) actually have a poor clinical outcome. However, these studies did not assess clinical stability and […]
» Read moreHeterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) results in significant elevations in LDL-C and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Current guidelines recommend add-on proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) therapy for additional LDL-C […]
» Read moreStroke remains a serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Prior studies examining the association between cerebral embolic protection device (CEPD) use and stroke following TAVI have produced conflicting […]
» Read moreSerum uric acid (SUA) was reported to be associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between SUA and CVD among young adults has not been clarified yet. In […]
» Read moreWe investigated the incidence, management, and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients according to cardiac arrest location. Patients admitted with a diagnosis of AMI between January 1, 2010 to March […]
» Read moreImmediate improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is common; however, data on the pattern and prognostic value of this improvement are limited. To […]
» Read moreCardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is frequently complicated by fatal ventricular arrhythmias. T-peak to T-end interval to QT interval ratio (TpTe/QT) on electrocardiograms (ECG) was proposed as a marker of ventricular repolarization […]
» Read moreThis study examined long-term outcomes and adherence to guideline-based medications in non-revascularized acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients undergoing and not undergoing angiography. We analyzed non-revascularized MI patients hospitalized in Alberta, […]
» Read moreType A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening disease. The use of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing AAD has increased, and CT can provide pathophysiologic information on dissection […]
» Read moreLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an important strategy to reduce stroke risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who are at high risk of bleeding on long-term anticoagulation. […]
» Read moreHypertriglyceridemia may be implicated in the high atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk experienced by patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this post-hoc analysis of the “Die Deutsche Diabetes Dialyse […]
» Read moreEnd-stage liver disease (ESLD) is increasingly prevalent and shares many risk factors with coronary artery disease (CAD). No specific guidelines exist for pre-liver transplant evaluation of CAD, and pretransplant cardiovascular […]
» Read moreThe impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the hospitalization outcomes in patients ≥ 60 years of age with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) is not well studied. We queried the National […]
» Read morePatient prosthesis mismatch (PPM) is an important factor of the outcome in transcatheter aortic valve implantation. However, the impact of PPM in transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation (TPVI) has not been […]
» Read moreHeart failure (HF) is common in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI), but incidence and predictors of new onset HF after hospitalization for MI are less well characterized. We […]
» Read moreIt is generally assumed that left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in aortic stenosis (AS) is a compensatory adaptation to chronic outflow obstruction. The advent of transcutaneous aortic valve replacement has stimulated […]
